For the commuter there is access via the A141 to Huntingdon where there are mainline rail services leading into London's Kings Cross and access to the A14 which in turn leads to the A1, M1, M6 and south east to the M11, M25 and London.

Description
Doddington Hall, as it is today, dates from 1872 and was re-built on the site on the original foundations of the previous 15th Century thatched rectory that burnt down in the 1860's, retaining the original chimney breasts. The house is substantial with accommodation laid out over 3 floors extending to 903 sq m (9,723 sq ft) and typifies the high gothic Victorian period of architecture.
Internally the house has a wealth of period features including Minton tiled floors, beautifully carved pitch pine joinery, stained glass windows, extensive open fireplaces and very tall ceiling heights.
On a practical level the property has been well maintained and benefits from two industrial sized oil fired boilers 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 en suite shower arrangements.
The combination of a large period former rectory in delightful gardens gives the property considerable appeal.
