Seller Insight
“Attracted to the area for its convenient location and good schools, we almost dismissed The Hedges at first. However, once we realised we could adapt it to improve the flow, we were sold,” say the owners of this peacefully positioned village home. “We have lived here happily since 2007 and can honestly say it has ticked all the right boxes as an excellent family home and a great place to entertain friends.”

Built in 1973 as part of a development of nine houses, this detached property is set back from a driveway with a garden at the rear. Since moving in, the owners have made numerous improvements. “The first thing we did was relocate the front door to a more central position, creating a much more impressive entrance and a nicer hallway,” they explain. “We also transformed the conservatory into a proper room, making it an all-year-round space that flows seamlessly into breakfast room and onto the kitchen, which we knocked into one.” They also upgraded the double garage and added a weights room and a spacious utility area at the rear.

"The layout downstairs has provided us with a fantastic space for hosting parties or simply enjoying family life, whether gathering in the open spaces or retreating to the sitting room with its characterful inglenook fireplace and cosy log burner. All four bedrooms are doubles, giving us and our children plenty of private space as they grew up. It’s been a very happy home for raising our family."

“While we’re in the village of Yelling, having fields at the back of the house keeps us connected to nature, and we often see passing wildlife. The gardens are peaceful, and we’ve loved walking straight out the door into the countryside.”

“Yelling offers a peaceful village lifestyle with a community hall, while nearby St Neots and Huntingdon provide further amenities. There’s also a good pub a mile away (two miles by car) at Gravely. With access to the A1, A428, and a short drive to St Neots station, commuting to Cambridge and London is convenient.”
