Seller Insight
"The house looked lovely from the roadside as we drove past, and we were immediately impressed by the sense of space and high ceilings when we looked around. Although relatively new, it felt like it had an old soul," say the vendors.

"There is always something happening in the village, and we've always felt welcome. The village hall is the community hub, hosting a multitude of events including a monthly breakfast which most families attend. The Village is even had its own Midsummer Ball this year!

"Our front garden, home to our ‘orchard,’ looks wonderful when everything blossoms in the spring and in the late summer and autumn it keeps us busy with picking plums, apples, apricots, walnuts, and figs. The garden is low maintenance, and we enjoy entertaining on the Indian stone patio, which is a lovely sun trap. There are many seating areas around the garden to make the most of the sun and provide shade when needed. I enjoy picking flowers from the raised beds, so the house is full of freshly cut blooms all summer. When we first moved in, we had to buy a bird book to identify the numerous species in the garden. The red kites soaring overhead are a magnificent sight, and we can hear foxes, owls, and deer at night."

"The house is perfect for entertaining, from small dinner parties to large celebrations for up to 70 guests. We open the doors to create a large space, and the conservatory looks lovely at night with candles on the windowsills."

"We spend most of our time in the kitchen. I love cooking and attended the AGA cookery school in nearby Oundle when we refitted the kitchen.

"We love village life. Both my husband and I have been parish councillors and involved with the village hall and the church. My husband is also a member of the St Neots cycling club, and in the past we have hosted them for cake and coffee – we had about 50 of them here one Sunday."

"We've lived here for almost 17 years and enjoyed many celebrations, including a 60th birthday party and our 25th wedding anniversary, when we partied from lunchtime through to 2 a.m. We've had tents in the garden and people sleeping in every room and on every sofa. It's been a lot of fun."

"We will miss the house's flexibility. It's cozy when it's just the two of us and perfect for large gatherings but as we are both retiring and it’s time for us to downsize, and we are looking for a smaller version of our lovely home.."
