Seller Insight
Located in a quiet no-through road in the Cambridgeshire village of Brampton, 8 St Georges Close is one of a small group of executive homes built in 1999. Brick and render with a grand entrance, this excellent family home has a modern yet traditional feel and plenty of character. ‘We bought the house 12-years ago this summer and have done lots to improve it, including knocking rooms through to give more space and light, fitting new bathrooms and a kitchen, adding a conservatory and log burner and undertaking a garage conversion to create a home office and gym. The house feels light and airy yet very cosy, but overall it feels homely. The edge of village location is great, with the Close itself being extremely safe for children. We originally bought the house for the commutability to London and the lovely village feel – it’s a friendly community with shops, pubs and river walks close by. It ticked all the boxes for family and work life and gave us the perfect feeling of modern country living – what more can we say, it’s a really lovely house in a fantastic location!
‘There are good local state and independent schools, with the village primary being a safe walking distance – our children cycle to school, primary and secondary. The area is great for outdoor activities for all ages and there are lots of beautiful walks on the doorstep. My husband still commutes to London; approximately a one-hour journey from Huntingdon – a walkable distance from the house – to King’s Cross. There are also handy Thames Link and Gatwick services.’
‘The house enjoys a sunny south-facing enclosed garden, perfect for relaxing in the sun – both inside and out are great for entertaining. It’s a very versatile and adaptable low-maintenance home with good private and on-street parking.’
‘The layout and flow are excellent throughout. We especially love the lounge with the conservatory attached and views across the garden – It has a cosy log burner which makes it a lovely space to enjoy as a family.’
‘We like that it’s quiet and convenient; you can easily step out and enjoy the surrounding countryside or be in Huntingdon in minutes. We are hoping to recreate the same feel this lovely home gives in a new location a bit deeper into the countryside.’
