The utility room can be accessed off of the inner hallway also, and benefits from its own base and wall units, butler sink, woodblock flooring, space for a washing machine, fridge/freezer, tumble dryer and many other appliances.

Upstairs to the first floor, Glebe House enjoys a very long and interesting landing space with lots of storage space. There is one larger open section on the right side of the house, which the current owners have used for a relaxed reading area. The floor to ceiling windows are the perfect addition because they allow for a stunning view over the fields adjacent to the property.

Sellers insight "It was love at first sight with Glebe House, " says the owner. "At the time, we didn't even know that the house was situated there as it's set so far back from the road and is so private. It had everything we needed – a lovely front garden, lots of space for our family, it borders onto wonderful countryside, and the massive drive was particularly great as we have a large caravan, and we could turn it around very easily. As soon as we walked inside and upstairs, we knew it was our future home. The landing has this gorgeous floor to ceiling window, and it provides an amazing vantage point to look out across the fields. We've watched all sorts of things, from storms to the full moon traversing the sky. It's just a wonderful spot to sit.
"The house and grounds are so peaceful, you can hear birds singing, and there is sun in the garden at different points all day. We felt that the house really flowed well too, with the two staircases on either end. Wherever you are in the house, you have good access to each room. We have many favourite rooms, but the conservatory with the bar is fantastic. It gets the sun in the morning and it's perfect for entertaining guests and family in the summertime. The kitchen is also a great space and again is just excellent when we have visitors. It really becomes the heart of Glebe House and is always buzzing with energy. The garden is also very versatile, and there are two big sheds at the bottom, one of which has been used as a gym and dance studio over the years while our children were growing up.
"We have decorated and renovated every room in Glebe House, and we always said about converting the loft which is a very big space. This might be something the new owners would like to do, to put their own stamp on things.
"Litlington as a location is so peaceful and quaint. It's got everything you need; it's quiet, there are lots of walks, and the house is right next to recreation grounds and fields, so it's very ideally situated. In Bassingbourn, the village over from us, there is a new sports facility just opened up, and then also you have the added benefit of being a stone's throw from Royston, with all its shops, restaurants, cafes and supermarkets. You've really got the best of both worlds here.
Location Located in the highly popular and picturesque parish village of Litlington, Cambridgeshire, the property is just 14 miles from the city of Cambridge and 5 miles from the town of Royston. There are lots of countryside walks and many social activities for all ages to enjoy. There is a traditional village pub serving homemade food and a church dating back to the 13th Century, offering regular services. Litlington also benefits from a pre-school, shops, post office and village hall.
Royston mainline train station to Kings Cross in 35 minutes is only 3 miles to the South. The town of Royston offers banks, a library as well as a mixture of high street shops, a Tesco Superstore, an Aldi and M & S Food Hall.
There are good road connections with the A1/M at Baldock 6 Miles to the West and the M11 9 miles to the east (approx). Luton and Stansted Airports are both within 40 minutes drive.
