It lies 3 miles north of Kimbolton, with it’s renown school, and 9 miles west of Huntingdon, with its commuter rail services to London Kings Cross. The A14, 2 miles north of the village at Spaldwick, offers fast routes to the M1 and M6 to the west, and to Huntingdon, the A1 and Cambridge to the east. The village lies within the catchment for Hinchinbrooke School in Huntingdon (http://www.hinchingbrookeschool.net/), whilst there are a number of nationally well thought of preparatory and private schools within a 16 miles radius, including Kimbolton, Laxton, Oundle and Bedford schools, among others. Stow Cottage A beautiful and deceptively spacious Grade II listed village home, Stow Cottage offers a wealth of period charm. Thought to date back to circa 1530 in part, the cottage was extended and altered in the early 1800s and several times since. Many of the principal rooms are dual-aspect, ensuring morning and afternoon sunshine, whilst exposed ceiling beams and period or inglenook fireplaces contrast with the modern and well-appointed kitchen and the bathroom, shower room and en suite facilities. Partially straw thatched, the property was thatched and ridged in 2014 and has been a much loved home by the sellers for the past 18 years. The driveway entrance leads to a gravelled courtyard offering ample parking for many vehicles, as well as access to the garage block, with its adjoining bedsit annex, which has been used as a business base. The private gardens are extensive bordering rolling farmland, over which there are attractive views. Accommodation The main entrance (from the driveway courtyard) opens to a reclaimed brick floored entrance hallway, with access off to the dining room, sitting room, kitchen/breakfast room and family shower room. The dining room and sitting rooms are both large reception rooms with timber beamed ceilings and impressive brick inglenooks, each with a smoke hood, which line the main south face of the cottage and flank the front door’s entrance lobby to the village. The dining room also has access to the dual-aspect snug with its feature gas fireplace. The dual aspect kitchen/breakfast room is the core of the house and links the main thatched house to the later Victorian brick extension. With French doors opening to the garden terrace, the terracotta tiled floor kitchen suite has granite worktops, central island and integrated Miele dishwasher, hob and oven appliances, as well as an oil fired Aga. A rear hallway with secondary entrance to the car parking offers access to a utility room and a triple aspect family room, with carpeted pine floor and French doors to the garden. The first floor has a versatile configuration with four double bedrooms in two wings, each with its own staircase access. The generously proportioned principal bedroom has a large en suite bathroom. Whilst double bedroom two is accessed from the sitting room staircase it also has a connecting access to the principal bedroom. Double bedroom three has a staircase from the entrance hall and is dual-aspect. Both double bedroom three and four adjoin the main family bathroom, which has a full suite with bath and separate shower. Outside The gardens and grounds extend to just over an acre in total and are laid out to the east and north of the house. The gravelled courtyard offers extensive parking for many vehicles with access to the triple garaging. The formal garden wrap around the rear and side of the house. Lawned, with space for children to enjoy, the gardens also have well stocked flowering and shrub borders, ensuring colour and contrast, together with a variety of fruit and deciduous species trees and hedgerow, ensuring privacy. A morning terrace adjoins the kitchen, with seating areas from which to track the sun throughout the day. Beyond the garden, there is a paddock with a pond which adjoins the northern boundary with attractive rural views. Annex The garaging forms part of a larger annex building. Initially designed as an office, the annex has latterly been used as en suite guest accommodation and offers fabulous versatility. General Information Services: Mains water & electricity.

DESCRIPTION OF SITE AND APPLICATION 1.1 The Old Vicarage is a large Victorian dwelling in a prominent corner position within the Stow Longa Conservation Area. In addition to the principal dwelling the site comprises a range of outbuildings on the northern boundary of the site, a large garden with incidental smaller buildings, and a number of mature trees. To the south of the domestic curtilage lies a paddock.

  • Buckworth BOOK.Indd
    The Buckworth Experience 1 2 FOREWORD We have called this book The Buckworth Experience as we have recorded the changing aspects of village life over the past 100 years not just from records but through experiences of past and present residents. The phrase was first coined in the 1980s by the then Bishop of Ely to describe his visit to the parish. He enjoyed the warmth of his welcome, and although it was early spring, he was able to appreciate Buckworth’s unique panoramic views. The church went on to use this catchphrase on many occasions and it appeared on T-shirts and sweatshirts, sold in aid of the church restoration. There have been many changes but what stays constant is the ‘spirit’ of Buckworth and its people. We hope this continues in the twenty-first century as it did in the twentieth and that villagers at the end of this new century, looking back as we have over the past 100 years, will appreciate and recognise the ‘Buckworth experience’. Over the past 18 months, we have contacted and spoken to many people, searched county records and newspaper archives and spent many hours battling with new technology. We would like to thank all those who contributed to this book. We recognise that there are some omissions as not all the detail we wanted was accessible, but we hope we have put together an interesting and informative book. Christine Brown Fiona Morrison Ella Pentelow 3 was 20. INTRODUCTION The village’s wealth in the Middle Ages came from sheep, the wool being used for Buckworth lies to the west of the main high-quality textiles which were produced A1 road from London to Edinburgh and in the Huntingdon area.

  • Spaldwick News
    Spaldwick News November 2008 (Photograph courtesy of Alastair Brydon) WELCOME Welcome to the November Edition I must apologise for another late edition; I appreciate that a number of people are naturally concerned with the late arrival of the News, especially considering the need for timely communication of events and dates. I have to admit that my growing business commitments mean that I am not able to devote the time that I would like each month to continue with the News. To co- ordinate, chase, edit, pull together and print each edition takes around 10-16 hours each month. It is therefore with a little sadness that I must stand down and pass the baton on to someone else. I must admit that although I have enjoyed the last eight months, I must recognise what I can realistically commit to in the foreseeable future. I would ask if anyone is interested in taking the News forward to its next phase, please contact John Blatch on 01480-890853. In my final edition we have latest news from Spaldwick School, the Five Parish Advent Fair, Spaldwick Social Events Group, along with the usual diary dates, etc. I wish you all well – bye for now… Michael. 2 SPALDWICK COMMUNITY PRIMARY SCHOOL Harvest Celebrations at Spaldwick School Each class created a scarecrow for display in the school; they include Angelina Ballerina, Charlie the Chimney sweep and an Egyptian Mummy. Over 70 pupils and 15 members of staff enjoyed the Harvest Day school dinner. To accompany Mrs Grindley’s ploughman’s meal, we enjoyed a serving of the winning soup in the recent school soup competition.
