Seller Insight
“When we first came to view the property just over 10 years ago, we were immediately impressed by the village location. Set on a little walkway leading to the church, there’s no passing traffic so it’s incredibly quiet and peaceful, yet we’ve never felt isolated as everything we need is easily accessible. The house sits very well within the generous plot and as soon as we went inside, we could see that it had been built and maintained to a high standard, ” recall the owners.
“The pretty village pub is within walking distance and the thriving village hall has something for everyone, including carpet bowls and youth clubs. It’s just a two-minute walk to the footpaths and bridleways leading across the fields from where we can take a leisurely stroll to Great Gransden to pick up bread, milk, and newspapers from the well-stocked village shop. The Post Office is always busy too and it’s very useful. We love the fact that everything we need is nearby and we don’t have to get in the car for the day-to-day necessities. The bluebells in Gransden Wood are always an amazing sight and we also enjoy spending time at Paxton Pits which is now a nature reserve with lovely walks and a café.”
“We’ve spent 10 enjoyable years transforming the garden into a peaceful haven. We re-designed the driveway which now offers parking for numerous vehicles and a caravan, and there are some lovely seating areas too. We’ve added climbers and ornamental trees, including pear, almond and plum, and the borders are bursting with colour from peonies and roses. The kitchen window is the best spot to watch the birds as they visit the feeders and we often see goldfinch – so beautiful! – along with the occasional nuthatch and even a great spotted woodpecker.”
“The property is perfect for family get-togethers and we just open the patio doors out to the garden to create a relaxed entertaining space. The dining room is the ideal size for family meals or we can head into the kitchen for smaller, more informal meals. We also enjoy relaxing in the sitting room which is always light and bright. The log burner is a wonderful feature providing warmth and cosiness in lockdown and the cold winter months.”
