Sellers Insight
“We enjoyed our lifestyle tremendously when living in the centre of Cambridge, ” say the owners “but once our family grew, we decided that family life would be best served in a more rural location. We knew Fowlmere and it was high on our list of preferred locations and we were therefore thrilled to discover that The Old Post Office was for sale. We moved here ten years ago and have been extremely happy. It has been lovingly restored and is a very comfortable family home with a welcoming ambience.”
“Every part of our home is special to us, but our main living area on the ground floor provides a generous kitchen/diner and two reception rooms. It is perfect for every aspect of our active family life, with a sociable flow which is ideal when we entertain.”
“Another joy of the village is its access to open countryside, not least when visiting the local rspb nature reserve, which is home to a variety of interesting wildlife.” “We utilise the uppermost floor as an independent studio, which has made working from home very easy, but its uses are potentially endless.”
“It is now time for another chapter in our lives and we are moving to another part of the world. We do feel very privileged to have lived in this amazing home in such a special location and to have experienced the exceptional quality of life available here.”
