5 bed detached house for sale

Frogge Street, Ickleton CB10

The Accommodation

A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and individual detached family residence extending to approximately 2,700 sq ft, set within glorious gardens and grounds approaching three acres, complete with established equestrian facilities and positioned within one of the area’s most highly regarded villages. Icknield House is a home of scale, presence and considerable potential — offering well-balanced accommodation with excellent scope for thoughtful modernisation or enlargement, subject to the necessary consents. Ideal for those with equestrian interests, the property combines practical facilities with a wonderfully private rural setting.

The accommodation is arranged around a generous and welcoming reception hall, with staircase rising to the first floor and cloakroom/WC positioned just off. The principal sitting room is a beautifully proportioned dual-aspect space, centred around a feature fireplace with fitted bookcases and display cabinetry, and French doors opening directly onto the garden — perfectly framing views across the lawns. Three further reception rooms provide exceptional versatility, including a snug, formal dining room with French doors to the terrace, and a dedicated home office. A delightful garden room offers an additional light-filled retreat, leading seamlessly onto the patio — ideal for summer entertaining.

The kitchen/breakfast room is well appointed with an extensive range of base and wall-mounted cabinetry, generous Corian work surfaces incorporating a double sink unit, four-ring hob with extractor, pantry cupboard and integrated dishwasher. Underfloor heating beneath the ceramic tiled floor adds comfort and practicality. A separate utility room provides further storage, space for white goods and houses the oil-fired central heating boiler.

Upstairs, a galleried landing leads to four large double bedrooms and a fifth bedroom/box room. The principal suite benefits from an en suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a family bathroom and separate WC.

Outside

Externally, the property is approached via a sweeping driveway flanked by formal lawns and mature trees, creating an impressive sense of arrival. There is extensive parking, a double garage and side access suitable for a horsebox. The rear gardens are predominantly laid to beautifully maintained lawns with established flower and shrub borders, a generous paved terrace and an array of mature trees providing colour and privacy throughout the season.

Beyond the formal garden lies the equestrian area, comprising a substantial post-and-rail paddock, stabling, tack room, storage and workshop — all with power, light and water connected. In addition, a field shelter completes the facilities. Backing onto open farmland and enjoying exceptional levels of privacy and seclusion, Icknield House represents a compelling country home offering space, versatility and lifestyle appeal in equal measure.
