Seller Insight Viola has been our home since 2012, and from the very beginning, it's been something truly special. We built this house ourselves with a dream of creating the perfect family home, and over the years, it has become exactly that and more. What first drew us here was the location. As you turn down the private road, there's an immediate sense of calm, it feels like stepping into another world, far removed from the noise and busyness of everyday life. That feeling has never faded. Because we built the house, we were able to create a space that perfectly balances family living with entertaining. We didn't cut corners when it came to comfort, and every detail has been thoughtfully considered. It's a home that feels luxurious, yet completely practical too. Features like the internal laundry chute have made everyday life that little bit easier. We've taken great care of the house over the years, and it's something we're really proud of. The kitchen is without a doubt our favourite room. It's the heart of the home - somewhere we can cook and spend time together while entertaining. In the summer, opening the doors creates a seamless flow into the garden, while in the colder months it still feels warm and cosy. It's a space that just works, no matter the season. The garden was always central to our vision. With its large wraparound patio, it's peaceful and private - a real escape. It's been the perfect place for long summer days and evenings, with the TV, sound system, and outdoor lighting creating a lovely indoor-outdoor lifestyle. This has always been a home made for entertaining and bringing people together. From movie nights in the cinema room when the children were younger, to hosting Christmas with family returning year after year, it's a house full of life and memories. There's plenty of space for everyone, so it never feels crowded- just warm and welcoming. The community here is something quite rare. It's quiet and private, yet always supportive when it matters, it's a lovely balance of seclusion and connection that's hard to find. What we'll miss most is the love, care, and thought that went into building this home. It's more than just a house to us - it's been a huge part of our lives, and leaving it won't be easy.

At the time, our children were still young and I was heavily pregnant with our third, so finding somewhere that felt safe, calm and full of good energy was so important. What truly sold it to me was the privacy - it's tucked away, quiet and unassuming, with only a handful of houses. Unless you live here, there's simply no reason to pass through, which gives it such a secure and peaceful feel. Over the years, we have lovingly modernised the house to suit our tastes, including updating the bathrooms. The master bedroom is a real sanctuary, with double aspect views over the garden, it's such a peaceful way to start each day. My favourite room in the house has always been the kitchen. It's incredibly spacious, opens up beautifully, and has been the heart of so many gatherings. It's perfect for entertaining, with the aga making it especially cosy in the winter months. In the summer, the garden truly comes into its own. Set across around half an acre and thoughtfully divided into four sections, it offers something for everyone. From the large patio with shaded areas, to the swimming pool, which has brought endless joy to our children over the years. Beyond that, there's an open lawn with a treehouse and trampoline, creating a great space for family life. This home has been made for entertaining. The generous room sizes and natural flow make hosting effortless. The kitchen leads into a snug where guests can relax, while the dining space has hosted countless Christmases, it's one of those homes where people naturally come together. There's a real village feel here, with a well-used village hall, a cricket club, and a wonderful primary school nearby. We've loved being able to cycle to local spots, enjoy the nearby pub, visit the working windmill, and take in the beautiful surrounding walks. What I will miss most is the way this home brings people together. The entertaining spaces, the summers around the pool, and the simple joy of the garden - it's all been so special. The pool, in particular, has been a huge part of our family life, enjoyed all year round thanks to being heated, and it's something my children will especially miss.

Seller Insight Period homes have always appealed to us, say the owners. When we first saw this cottage in 2013, we were immediately drawn to the way it had been thoughtfully cared for and sympathetically modernised whilst still retaining its original character. Situated in the heart of Litlington, near Royston, and in a conservation area, this detached cottage occupies a wonderfully private position set back from the road behind a village green. The outlook is very special, they say. From the front of the house we look across to the green, the iconic red telephone box and the historic village lock-up. Although we are right in the centre of the village, the house feels incredibly secluded and not overlooked. Parts of the cottage date back to the 17th century, although it has evolved over time to create a substantial family home that combines period charm with modern comforts. We loved that balance between old and new, they explain. The house has exposed beams, an open fireplace and two wood-burning stoves, but it doesn't feel like a property that constantly needs updating. We've invested carefully over the years, adding a new kitchen, bathrooms, an extra en suite, bespoke cabinetry in the lounge and timber windows and doors throughout, always ensuring the character remained intact. Outside, the gardens have been designed to be attractive yet manageable. The rear garden is completely private, with lawns, rose bushes, a secluded seating area and a small pond, they say. A recently added garden pod, currently used as a gym, and a double garage further enhance the property. The patio doors open onto the garden, connecting the house beautifully to the outdoors during the summer. Our neighbours are very kind, say the owners. We have a good relationship with them and there is a strong sense of community in the village. It's just a short walk to the shop, post office and village hall, with beautiful country walks on our doorstep. There are local clubs, a preschool, nearby train stations, and it is very easy to get into Cambridge by car or rail. We'll miss the warmth of the house most of all, they reflect. We'll miss the birds returning each year, summer days with the doors open to the garden, cosy evenings by the fire and the feeling that this is a home which has welcomed generations of families and will continue to do so for many years to come. Village Information Nestled in the south-west corner of Cambridgeshire, the picturesque village of Litlington offers an enviable blend of rural tranquillity and exceptional connectivity.

Combining character, space and exceptional presentation throughout, 14 Old Court Hall presents a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully restored period home in the heart of one of Huntingdonshire's most sought-after market towns. Seller Insight 14 Old Court Hall has been our home for the past six years, and it's been such a special place for us. What first drew me in was the location as much as the house itself. We had come from a small village with just a pub, and suddenly we were somewhere with so much more: excellent schools, a real sense of community, beautiful parks and the river nearby. From the moment we walked through the door, it just felt right. Over the years, we've lovingly modernised the entire house. It hadn't been updated for around 25 years, so we've really maximised every opportunity. One of my favourite features is the dining room wall, where a local artist created a stunning spray-painted piece, taking inspiration from the curtains in the lounge - it's such a talking point. Working in interiors, I've enjoyed bringing in beautiful designer wall coverings and fabrics throughout, adding personality to every room. My favourite space has to be the main bedroom suite. It feels completely separate from the rest of the house, like a peaceful sanctuary. The main bathroom has a real boutique hotel feel, something guests always comment on. Downstairs, the lounge is cosy and welcoming, with a wood burner and bi-fold doors that open straight onto the courtyard. The garden is low-maintenance, private, and beautifully enclosed. Having parking for two cars in front of the garage, and another behind the gates, in the centre of the village is such a bonus too. This home has been perfect for entertaining. We've hosted everything from BBQs to a garden engagement party with a marquee and live singer with around 80 guests. The community here is incredible, and it's a big part of why we love it so much. We are staying local, which says everything about how much this area means to us. There's always something going on if you want to get involved, and everything you need is right on your doorstep, including excellent nurseries, pre-schools, and fantastic primary schools. The great selection of good restaurants and pubs within a 5 minute walk.

The flagstone floor sets off the room together with the beams and in particular the large cast iron cooking stove that is set into the chimney breast. This is a great room for entertaining friends and family. Doors open into the snug/garden room which is majority glazed with exposed flint and red brick walls, slate floor and amazing views down the garden and the valley beyond. The kitchen/breakfast room has been hand built with a mix of Walnut and Maple units and slate and timber worktops with inset sink, a designer glass prep sink, numerous integrated appliances including two ovens, a microwave, five burner hob, cooker hood, two fridges, a wine fridge, coffee maker and a dishwasher. Bespoke double glazed doors and windows open across the back of the kitchen onto the vast veranda. Throughout the year this brings the outside into the house. A side hallway leads to the utility room and cloakroom. There is a door into the garden and a door opens into the Annex which we'll come to later in the description. At the other end of the cottage, off the dining room, is a further hallway with Oak panelling and windows to the front, off which is a luxuriously appointed family bathroom. The living room is a particular feature of the home. It is full of character being heavily beamed with a large red brick fireplace and chimney breast at one end with a wood burning stove. There are windows to both the front and rear together with French windows opening onto the garden. A rear lobby has a door to the garden and stairs rise to the first floor. Upstairs the master bedroom enjoys a vaulted ceiling and exposed timbers and a door through to a good size en suite. In addition there is a further double bedroom and a single bedroom both of which benefit from bespoke fitted cupboards and bedroom furniture. THE ANNEX So often we see a self contained annex that is a disappointment. This is one that really impresses. There is a good size living room that is full of character with a vaulted ceiling and beams. There is a well fitted contemporary kitchen, a shower room with contemporary suite and a good size double bedroom, again with vaulted ceiling. One of the beauties of the annex is that whilst it is self contained, it can also so easily be brought into the accommodation for those with a larger family. STEP OUTSIDE There is an attractive good size enclosed front garden and to the side of the house is a long driveway with five bar gate that leads into the parking area. There are substantial workshops and garages at the foot of the driveway together with a greenhouse. To the rear of the house is a large decked Veranda that has been cleverly designed and built to form another dimension or 'room' to the house. With the kitchen opening onto it, it is the ideal summer entertaining area. There is a hot tub and numerous places to sit and enjoy the view. The rest of the garden is mainly laid to lawn with numerous shrubs and trees providing year round colour and interest. Beneath the workshop is an additional storage basement area. Across the other side of the garden is an excellent Studio with light power, double glazing, shower room. In all the plots extends to over half an acre. LOCATION Nasty is a pretty, rural hamlet that is well placed for those who are looking for an escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, yet still need to be conveniently placed within easy reach of the A10 and subsequently the nearby towns of Ware, Buntingford and Hertford. Ware is only about a 15 minute drive and provides a good range of amenities with a thriving café culture, pubs, restaurants and a station serving London's Liverpool Street. Education is well served in the surrounding area with numerous private primary and secondary schools. including Heathmount, Duncombe, St Edmunds College and Haileybury. The area is also well known for its first class state education. Footpaths and bridleways are nearby together with many fine golf courses, equestrian and sports facilities.
