Seller Insight
“It was the lovely location of 35 Church Street which first attracted us to the property, ” say the current owners, “set in a wrap-around garden in a quiet part of the village and with ease of access to the A1.”
Since moving in, the owners have made various improvements to the property. “We have completed a full refurbishment from top to bottom, ” they say, “including an extension. We have installed sound proofing between the ground floor and first floor, which also retains heat downstairs, and laid all new flooring including Karndean in the hall and kitchen. Now, the new Neptune kitchen is our favourite room in the house – it is the heart of the home and great for entertaining, particularly at Christmastime when we have hosted parties for over 40 neighbours, family and friends.”
Outside, much love and care have also been put into the wrap-around garden. “We fully landscaped the rear garden in 2019, ” the owners say, “and built a second shed during the covid lockdown to supplement the existing shed and greenhouse.”
The local area has much to recommend it, too. “The amenities in Sawtry are excellent” say the owners, “including a Boots, a Co-op, and fantastic doctor’s and dentist’s surgeries. There are well regarded schools nearby, as well as a supermarket, a good chip shop and a Chinese restaurant – so in short, everything we could need! And all this in a quiet location with wonderful neighbours, who have become great friends during the time that we have lived here.”
