Huntingdon Road, Girton, Cambridge
Hadleigh is set about 80ft back from the road behind a deep screen of mature trees and was built in 1929-1930 for Professor Sir Frank Engledow. It is believed to have been designed by Mackay Hugh Baillie Scott, widely acclaimed as one of the finest architect's of the "Arts and Crafts" movement. The property is constructed of brick elevations under a tiled roof, with attractive leaded light windows set within solid wood frames. As is common with the style of Baillie Scott houses, further extensive use has been made of oak and other fine woods for the staircase, floorboards, window sills and doors.
The current owners have in recent years considerably improved and re-arranged the accommodation to create a truly impressive family home. The kitchen has been beautifully re-fitted with oak fronted units, Granite work tops and gas fired Aga, and all the bath/shower rooms have been expensively re-fitted also. A useful annexe has been created which comprises a sitting room, kitchen, double bedroom and bathroom with its own separate access from the side as well as internal access from the main residence, and is suitable for any number of uses from those looking to accommodate dependant relatives to those looking to earn an additional income. (currently let on short-term lets).
The principal reception rooms and bedrooms face south west and enjoy wonderful garden views, and the accommodation in all extends to around 3,000 sq.ft.
The gardens and grounds are particularly worthy of note extending in all to approximately an acre, the rear gardens laid to a formal lawn and backing onto farmland.
Outside
The property stands well back from the road behind a deep screen of mature trees and shrubs. There is a gravelled driveway and car parking for numerous vehicles and a detached garage together with adjoining store.
The rear gardens are laid to a neatly trimmed formal lawn with numerous well established trees, bushes and shrubs, fruit trees, hedging etc. providing a good degree of privacy and seclusion. The lawn is flanked by thickly planted shaped flower beds and borders and backing onto fields enjoy a south westerly aspect. The gardens in all extend to approximately 1 acre.
