For the commuter there is access via the A141 to Huntingdon where there are mainline rail services leading into Londons King Cross and access to the A14 which in turn leads to the A1, M1, M6 and south east to the M11, M25 and London. Peterborough is 25 miles away where there is an express train service leading into Londons Kings Cross.
Doddington Hall, as it is today, dates from 1872 and we rebuilt on the site of the original foundation of the previous 15th Century thatched rectory that burnt down in the 1860s. The house is substantial with accommodation laid over the 3 floors and typifies the high gothic Victoria period of architecture.
Internally the house has a wealth of period features including Minton tiles floors, beautifully carved pitch pine joinery, stained glass windows, extensive open fireplaces and very tall ceiling height.
On a practical level the property has been well maintained and benefits from two industrial sized oil fired oilers supplying central heating and an intruder alarm system. There is an area of ground floor accommodation which can be occupied separately, together with a bedroom at first floor level with an ensuite shower arrangements.
The combination of a large period former rectory in delightful gardens gives the property considerable appeal.
