A rare opportunity to acquire a spacious detached house with outbuildings and land in a rural and very accessible location. The A1 Great North Road is within a short driving distance giving excellent north / south communications. Nearby Wyboston village has a leisure centre, golf course and hotel and Wyboston Lakes, there is also a garage / shop and public house. St Neots has a range of facilities including mainline station with services to London King’s Cross. More extensive shopping facilities are offered by Biggleswade, Bedford and Huntingdon.
Bluebells was once a plant nursery, however in more recent times the property has become a residential and private equestrian property with the vendors keeping their own horses as well as a variety of fowl including ducks and chickens, and there is currently a large enclosure for them. There are level paddock areas as well as a large fallow area which the vendors have left for natural wildlife habitat although this could be reinstated and perhaps utilised as the site for a manege, subject to necessary planning permissions being obtained.
