Charming Extended Georgian Residence with Garden, Driveway & Original Features – Eynesbury

The Laurels is a remarkable Grade II listed Georgian residence that offers elegant, versatile family living with an engaging history. Around 1790, Joseph Howitt, landlord of The Cross Keys coaching inn in St Neots Market Place, built his house just off Eynesbury Green. The lane past the house was duly named after Mr Howitt.

This historic home is referenced in C.F. Tebbutt’s History of St Neots. It was later extended in 1886 and has been listed since 1971, preserving its architectural and historical integrity.

The front elevation features striking gault brickwork, a Regency wooden trellis porch with a tented canopy roof, and cast iron railings topped with distinctive urn finials, hallmarks of its period grandeur.

Inside, the property boasts four generous double bedrooms and two further bedrooms, ideal for guests, home working or children's rooms. Original sash windows with working shutters and panelled internal doors retain the authentic Georgian character throughout.

The accommodation includes multiple separate reception rooms, a spacious kitchen, and a well-appointed family bathroom. The bathroom has recently been redecorated, and new wallpaper has just been added to enhance its fresh, finished appearance.

To the side, a private driveway provides valuable off-street parking, while to the rear, the property enjoys a large, mature garden, a peaceful and private retreat with space for dining, play or gardening.

A significant bonus is the large loft space, which already has access from the stairwell leading to the attic bedrooms. A potential for further extension or conversion (subject to any necessary consents), offering exciting possibilities for future development.

The Laurels is conveniently located close to excellent local amenities, highly regarded schools, riverside walks, and St Neots mainline train station, providing fast connections to London and Cambridge—making it ideal for commuters and families alike.
