The renowned stonemasons Rattee and Kett not only rebuilt Thatched Cottage but also hand carved the stone fireplaces within it.

The dining room has a feature fireplace. (Image: Savills)

The name Thatched Cottage is somewhat misleading, as this is a substantial house exuding light with double height ceilings.

The property is flooded with natural light. (Image: Savills)

Doors from the kitchen/breakfast room lead out to the garden. (Image: Savills)

This spacious bathroom has a roll top bath. (Image: Savills)

The garden lies principally to the rear and is segmented by mature yew hedging with a range of trees and plants.

Accessed by a number of French doors from the house is the terrace, which is perfect for entertaining.

Cleverly planned walkways with spring bulbs pass through the garden, connecting the various areas.

The mature gardens are one of the property's main selling points. (Image: Savills)

Of particular note is the rose clad pergola which lies centrally to the garden. (Image: Savills)

The lawns are interspersed with mature trees and hedges, and a vegetable garden and fruit cages are easily accessible from the kitchen.

Huntingdon is five miles to the west of the property, where there are fast and regular train services to London's Kings Cross taking approximately 51 minutes.
