Surrounded by approximately 10 acres of enchanting grounds, it offers a rare combination of period elegance, natural beauty, and privacy all within the heart of the sought-after Cambridgeshire village of Hemingford Grey.We knew it was special the moment we saw it, say the current owners, who have cherished the property for nearly three decades. The setting with its open space, character, and peaceful riverside location felt like the perfect place to raise a young family. It gave us the best of both worlds: a sense of complete seclusion and nature, yet just a short stroll to the village centre, and across the meadows to St Ives.Originally modernised in 1979 by an architect, the house cleverly blends its historic charm with stylish functionality. The River Room is one of our favourite spaces with its double-height ceiling and beautiful natural light, it's ideal for entertaining. The layout of the ground floor flows so well rooms interconnect seamlessly, making it perfect for hosting both intimate dinners and larger gatherings.The dining room offers a particularly cosy atmosphere with its exposed beams, impressive fireplace, and garden views through a large window. Step outside, and the magic of the grounds reveals itself: There's a patio just a few feet from the water perfect for al fresco dining. We've held many garden parties here, with plenty of room for guests and even parking.Beyond the formal gardens lie wildflower meadows, an orchard, a vegetable plot, and a walled garden with a workshop and a charming semi-derelict building an exciting project for someone looking to create a studio or home office, the owners suggest. Two islands, accessible by bridges, add a sense of adventure to the landscape.The river frontage is a true highlight, they add. It includes mooring with landing stage and fishing rights, and watching the kingfishers and otters has been an unforgettable part of living here. The views across the river toward St Ives are simply breathtaking.Located at the end of a quiet no-through lane, the home enjoys a peaceful setting without passing traffic. And the village itself is a treasure: Hemingford Grey has a wonderful community spirit, with a historic church, a sports centre, a fantastic pub, and The Manor one of the oldest continually inhabited houses in the country. There's even an annual regatta, believed to be the oldest inland one in the UK.Village Information The Hemingfords (Abbots and Grey) are situated along the banks of the River Great Ouse and are well-known as a very picturesque and sought-after Cambridgeshire village.

Contemporary house with pool and garden Ipswich (United Kingdom)
Set within approximately 8.5 acres of private woodland and meadow, this exceptional detached 6-bedroom barn conversion offers a chance to embrace a slower, more intentional way of living. Surrounded by nature and defined by calm, space, and light, the property has been thoughtfully designed for those seeking a refined yet minimalist lifestyle, where modern luxury exists in harmony with the landscape, yet with day-to-day amenities and commuter links easily accessible. Once an Atcost Barn, this grain store has been beautifully reimagined into a contemporary home of striking architectural simplicity. Expanses of glass frame uninterrupted views of the woodland, creating a constant visual connection to the outdoors and allowing natural light to pour into the living spaces throughout the day. The special thing about this home is how it invites everyone to gather, whether for an Autumn walk in the woods, tearing about on the meadow in Summer or Christmas lunch for 18 with a 21ft Christmas tree taking centre stage. The home is extremely versatile offering potential to repurpose rooms as needed, with 6 bedrooms including three on the ground floor, there is potential for study spaces, teens lounges, home gym, and multigenerational living. Step Inside Stepping through the substantial entrance hall you arrive at the heart of the home, an impressive, open-plan living space, carefully zoned by flooring, to incorporate the entrance hall, sitting area, kitchen, and dining space. This vast yet cohesive environment is both sleek and welcoming, defined by clean lines, understated finishes, and a sense of effortless flow, with areas cleverly defined and with flexibility for any configuration of furnishing you desire. Four sets of ceiling to floor sliding doors open to terraces with woodland views, extending the living space and providing a tranquil setting for entertaining or quiet reflection. A striking central staircase rises in two directions, enhancing both the symmetry and architectural interest of the interior, while reinforcing the sense of thoughtful design that runs throughout the home. A baby grand piano currently takes the sweet spot below the stairs, but this could also make a wonderful book nook with armchairs and bookcases, or a great place for the dog beds! To the left of the entrance hall sit three ground floor bedrooms, all with ensuites, perfect for guest requiring accessibility or visitors with young children, wanting to enjoy social time but with an ear out for the little ones. To the right is the dedicated home office with cloakroom just outside, carefully positioned at the front of the home to cater for a bit of peace to work. The utility room sits next to the kitchen, with an external door, built in storage, laundry facilities, and of course ample room to decamp muddy paws and children – a necessary practical addition to every country home. The kitchen boasts fabulous appliances including a bank of three Neff ovens and a Neff Microwave, and two islands, one for working space and the other social bar where family can chat with a cuppa to the chef, whilst dinner cooks and the attention to detail here even includes convenient sockets for phones and electricals. The dining zone allows space for an enormous table where 18 have enjoyed family celebrations and Sunday roasts, and in summer the doors open so your after-dinner coffee can be taken at leisure whilst watching the children play or just taking in the scenery. This could also be a separate more intimate sofa space with a smaller table if preferred - the remarkable thing about the whole property is the versatility to personalise the space to suit your lifestyle. Life As You Intended This is more than a home; it is a lifestyle defined by space, simplicity, and connection to the natural world. A place to slow down, breathe deeply, and live with intention, where every detail has been considered to create a calm and quietly luxurious retreat in the Suffolk countryside. The timber frame has been wrapped in 150mls of insulation from floor to walls to ceiling, and a sand and cement render, retaining heat efficiently. The result is a home that feels both grounded and uplifting, perfectly aligned with a growing desire to return to nature and a more balanced pace of life. Sustainability and efficiency are central to the property's ethos. With an Energy A rating, 62 solar panels and back up battery, and an air source heat pump, the home offers a highly efficient, low-cost way of living, allowing you to enjoy modern comforts while treading lightly on the environment. Explore Upstairs Twin staircases ascend to a first floor every bit as captivating as the ground level. To one side, the principal suite is bathed in natural light from expansive sloping rooflights, complemented by a thoughtfully zoned dressing area that flows seamlessly into a sumptuous en-suite, complete with both bath and shower, an indulgent sanctuary, perfect for unwinding in a long soak once the day draws to a close. The second staircase reveals two generously proportioned bedrooms, each with its own en-suite, alongside an impressive games room or playroom, also illuminated by striking sloping rooflights. The current owners' grandchildren have loved this room, designed with versatility in mind, to also serve as a stylish teenage retreat or, for multi-generational living, a comfortable and private lounge for extended family or even a cinema room.. The current owners have made the most of the home when family visits en masse, everyone having the luxury of their own privacy and space, rather like a boutique hotel. With leafy views from every aspect, this floor evokes the serene atmosphere of a treehouse, connecting to its surroundings. Step Outside The home sits in over 8 acres of meadow land and woodland – a totally unique setting for living the country dream with a 220 square metres of terrace providing space for seating, barbecuing, and alfresco dining and even a hot tub for gazing at the stars with no light pollution, if desired. A beautifully crafted timber double garage sits comfortably within its natural surroundings with parking outside up to eight vehicles. Above, a versatile space with kitchenette, shower room, and roof lights has served as a home office, keeping the work life balance by being able to close the door at the end of a work day….. and walk home! It also offers excellent potential as a hobby studio or perhaps an exclusive home gym. In summer, the trees provide welcome shady spot, yet the warm breeze flows through the four sets of south facing, sliding double doors. In winter, the house is enveloped in light as the trees lose their leaves and their silhouettes make beautiful shapes against the sky. A short walk through the woodland leads to open meadows, perfect for those wanting to embrace the good life and enhance sustainable living by keeping chickens and growing produce – there is so much space for greenhouses, polytunnels and the grounds even include a rainwater harvester for supplying the outside taps. Wildlife visitors include fox, badger, and deer with a wide variety of birdlife enjoying the woodland including woodpeckers, jackdaws jays and garden birds so you really feel like you are living with nature. On The Doorstep The picturesque, historic village of Kersey houses an important collection of medieval buildings but is also a vibrant community with an Ofsted rated good primary school, 12th Century church, village hall, pub, and local farm shops. .

The approved “as proposed” plans can be discussed in detail during a private viewing with the current architect owner.VERSATILE ACCOMMODATION & INCOME POTENTIALThe inherent adaptability of this country house is further underscored by The Barn’s successful operation as a high-performing Airbnb, generating an average net income of approximately £4,000 per month since October 2021.

House with garden and terrace London (United Kingdom)
Moments from Primrose Hill, set in a discreet enclave, this four-bedroom townhouse has been comprehensively reworked by Diego Calderon of DF DC Architects. The intervention is considered rather than showy, with a focus on clarity of space, light and flow. An additional storey has been introduced, allowing the house to extend to just over 2,200 sq ft. The ground floor is given over to a wide, open-plan kitchen, dining and living space that runs the full depth of the house. Polished concrete floors bring a sense of continuity, while large openings at the rear draw in light from the patio garden beyond. The arrangement is generous but controlled, with the kitchen anchored by a central island and the dining space positioned naturally between kitchen and garden. Doors open directly onto the terrace, allowing the space to expand easily in warmer months. Upstairs, the first floor is arranged with a sense of privacy. The principal bedroom sits to one side, with fitted storage and an ensuite bathroom. A second room on this level works equally well as a bedroom or study, alongside a separate utility room that keeps the practical elements of the house neatly contained. The top floor is a later addition and feels notably bright. Two further double bedrooms are arranged here, both with built-in wardrobes and their own ensuite bathrooms. The proportions are consistent with the rest of the house, and the layout is straightforward and well resolved. A roof terrace sits above, which is an elevated outdoor space with open views across the surrounding area. At ground level, the rear patio garden offers a more enclosed setting, while residents also have access to well-maintained communal gardens. Throughout the house, underfloor heating and air conditioning have been integrated, and there is off-street parking with an electric vehicle charging point. Quickswood is positioned just off England’s Lane, placing it within easy reach of its cafés and independent shops that Primrose Hill is famous for. Belsize Village and St John’s Wood are all close by. The green open space of Primrose Hill is a short walk away, and both Swiss Cottage and Chalk Farm Underground stations provide straightforward connections across London.
