5 Bedroom Detached Character Property, High Street, Brampton, PE28

Victorian Period Property With Exceptional Features On Brampton High Street

This stunning Victorian five-bedroom home, set on an expansive 0.38-acre plot, beautifully blends period architecture with modern living. Located in the thriving village of Brampton near Huntingdon, the property offers bright, airy living spaces and exceptional opportunities for multi-generational living, thanks to two large detached outbuildings on the grounds. The location is ideal for commuters, with mainline rail journeys to London taking just one hour.

Upon entering through the original stained glass front door, you are greeted by a spacious entrance hallway featuring original Victorian Minton tiled flooring. The hallway’s design allows a clear line of sight from the front entrance through to the garden room at the rear, creating a bright and expansive feel. To the left is the formal dining room, a space that celebrates Victorian elegance with a large bay window and an original fireplace, adding to its charming character. The restored original floorboards throughout the ground floor are a testament to the care taken by the current owners in maintaining the property’s historical integrity.

To the right of the entrance is a second reception room, currently used as a snug. This versatile space could easily serve as a main dining room, playroom, or home office, depending on your needs. The snug leads into the spacious kitchen, where a gas-fired AGA sits within what was once an inglenook fireplace, creating a cosy atmosphere during the winter months. The kitchen, complete with bespoke units and a large butler’s sink, also features sliding doors that open onto the garden, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living.

The bright and elegant dual-aspect sitting room is located at the rear of the property, with double doors leading to the garden room, enhancing the connection between indoor and outdoor spaces.

Upstairs, the first floor offers five bedrooms, including a front-facing bedroom with a large bay window and a private en-suite shower room. The smallest bedroom is perfect for use as a study, nursery, or dressing room. The main bedroom, located at the rear of the property, is flooded with natural light from two large sash windows and features another original Victorian fireplace. The other two bedrooms are spacious doubles, filled with natural light and period features. The family bathroom is a modern oasis, with a separate shower and bathtub, ideal for relaxing while enjoying views of the garden.

A brick-paved driveway leads to a large coach house at the rear of the plot. This building includes a garage, storage area, and triple-aspect workshop on the ground floor. A large dual-aspect upstairs space is currently used as a games room. This outbuilding offers the potential for conversion to an annex, suitable for detached multi-generational living. The smaller gatehouse at the front of the property (originally the housekeeper's quarters), complete with electricity and plumbing, further enhances the property’s versatility, providing another option for guest accommodation or a private workspace.

Brampton is a thriving village that offers a blend of historic charm and modern amenities. With easy access to Cambridge and excellent transport links, including the nearby A14 and A1, this property is ideally located for those who value both convenience and a strong sense of community.
