Sellers Insight
Situated close to the heart of the historic town of St Neots is Tudor House, an elegant Grade II listed family home that has been beautifully renovated by the current owners. “We bought Tudor House in 2014 and i’d say that we were initially attracted to the seclusion of the property, ” says the owner. “Once through the gates and enclosed within the beautiful walled garden, you enter an almost magical world that you would be unaware of unless you were familiar with it. The house itself is steeped in history and retains many unique period features from different eras. We think that the original part of the house was built in the 16th century, however some of the stonework within the cellar is thought to be much older and we’ve discovered that a rectory manor has been attached to the church at Eynesbury possibly as far back at the 12th century.”
“The house has been added to and adjusted many times over the centuries, and when we purchased it it’s fair to say that it was in need of substantial modernisation, as it hadn’t been updated for thirty or forty years so we’ve extensively renovated the property, whilst retaining its character and respecting its provenance. It’s now a really comfortable and very beautiful family home with a rich historical past, and it’s a lovely place to entertain family and friends all year round. In colder weather, the lounge is a warm and welcoming place for guests to congregate around a roaring fire, and we can sit down for meals either in the kitchen or in the more formal dining room, which can comfortably accommodate up to twelve guests.”
“When the sun is shining the gardens and grounds are fantastic for entertaining and also provide a safe yet exciting place for children to explore. The house sits within just over an acre of varied landscape, with the main garden being partially enclosed by an attractive wall. We also have a large patio at the back of the property, a veranda area accessible from French windows from the lounge, and the house is surrounded by lawns on three sides, beyond which are woodland areas and an orchard. Interestingly, near the perimeter there’s also a little folly that was commissioned by William Cole who was rector from 1768-1808.”
“What is now the kitchen is the heart of the home. Before we renovated the property, it was in the room next door so it was small and one felt very isolated. It’s now a lovely big space in which everyone can congregate together for cooking, homework and casual entertaining.”
“At Tudor House you can feel cocooned from the outside world, but all the necessary day-to-day amenities of modern life are easily accessible – and central London is just a short train ride away. St Neots itself is a bustling market town with a weekly market and a variety of shops, bars and restaurants, which are all within walking distance, and there are some excellent schools in the local area so it’s a wonderful place to bring up a family.”
“With Tudor House being such an individual property, we’ve had so many memorable events during our time here. However, a time that is always very special is Christmas. The house looks particularly beautiful at that time of year and there’s plenty of space to have everyone to stay.”
“We feel privileged to have been the custodians of such a unique and historic home, and we are going to be very sad to leave, ” says the owner. “From the first day we moved in the house felt welcoming, but following the renovations it’s now warm and comfortable, yet still retains the period features that make it so special.”
