Seller Insight
“The location was ideal for us as our son was going to Cambridge at the time for his education, so we jumped at the chance when the opportunity arose to build our own home here on the village green, ” say the owners.
“Hilton is a very friendly village where you can get involved with local events as much or as little as you like. It’s a lovely spot offering some beautiful walks through the countryside and great access to the surrounding road network. The village green has a turf maze to explore as well as sporting opportunities such as football and cricket. Cambridge is just 10 miles away and it’s a great place to take our visiting guests punting or sightseeing around the colleges. It’s such an easy day out. There are some nice gastropubs in nearby Hemingford, along with a fabulous Indian restaurant in Papworth. We have a pub here in the village, along with a Post Office, shop, and active village hall. The annual summer Feast Week is always well supported with a big marquee on the green playing host to sports days, pet shows, and entertainment in the evening.”
“The garden is totally private and it’s perfect for relaxing and entertaining. We hosted a retirement party with drinks at the front upon arrival before heading round to the rear garden for a catered lunch. Food was served from the kitchen island and we just headed out through the bifold doors into the garden. The little courtyard area just off the kitchen has a large patio that is bathed in sunshine later in the day, so it’s the perfect spot to relax with a glass of wine on a sunny evening.”
“The kitchen is a great space for day-to-day family life and informal suppers. There’s plenty of room for us all to be together as we chat and cook, so there’s no need for the chef to miss out on the conversation. Bifold and French doors lead out to the decking area and offer a lovely view of the pond and garden. The basement apartment has also been another highlight for us. It has access via the back door, so our son was able to use it as a private space where he could come and go as he pleased.”
