Seller Insight 5 Maltings Lane has been our home for the past 12 years. 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 “Clematis Cottage has been our home for the past 10 years, and from the moment we first saw it, we fell in love with its character. We’ve always loved quirky homes with history, and this beautiful thatched cottage is full of beams, personality, and unique features that really have to be seen to be appreciated.” “Over the years, we’ve lovingly modernised the cottage while staying true to its history and character. One thing we’re especially proud of is how bright and airy we’ve made it. When we first moved in, parts of the house felt quite dark, so we added sky lanterns and opened up the space to let the light flood in. We also added an upstairs bathroom, a walk-through wardrobe that I absolutely love, and a utility room which has made family life so much easier.” “My favourite room has to be the living room. The sky lanterns and the wall of windows overlooking the garden make it feel so peaceful and connected to the outdoors.” “The garden itself has been such a huge part of our life here. It’s incredibly private, with open fields behind and tall trees surrounding it, making it feel calm and secluded. There’s also rear access to the garden, which is really practical for parking and entertaining.” “Clematis Cottage has always been a wonderful home for hosting family and friends. It’s become known as “the Christmas house”. We have a cosy dining room we jokingly call “the parlour,” complete with a fireplace, and at Christmas it feels truly magical.” “One of the things that has made living here so special is the sense of community. The village has such a warm and friendly atmosphere. The Wheatsheaf pub has recently been lovingly restored by a resident, and there’s a real effort to bring everyone together with events, craft clubs, beer evenings, and traditions like the yearly Tempsford Show. It has a lovely village feel whilst still being incredibly convenient, with easy access to Sandy, St Neots, the rail links, and the A1 which makes living here the best of both worlds.” What I’ll miss most about Clematis Cottage is the garden and the life we’ve built around it. My workshop is out there, and it’s been my little haven for creativity and peace. We’ve also been lucky to have such wonderful neighbours, and it’s the people, and the feeling of this home that we will really miss.” Village Information Tempsford is a well-regarded Bedfordshire village with a strong sense of community and a range of local amenities.

At the far end of the plot, a raised decked area—affectionately known as the gin terrace—offers a peaceful spot to enjoy open countryside views across neighbouring fields and back towards the main house. Elsewhere on the grounds, you’ll find a dedicated children's play area and a chicken run tucked within a woodland copse, adding to the property's charm and family appeal.  To the rear of the house, a newly laid timber deck runs the full width of the property, and leads you to the heated swimming pool.  This 12m x 8m pool is heated via an air source heat pump and benefits from an electric cover. Partially covered by a wooden pergola, this outdoor entertaining space connects seamlessly to the master suite, lounge, and kitchen-diner through multiple sets of patio and bi-fold doors, creating a strong indoor-outdoor flow and tying the garden beautifully into the heart of the home. Location Old Walkern Nursery enjoys a prime position at the very top of Froghall Lane, offering privacy and tranquillity while remaining just a 10 minute walk down to Walkern’s charming High Street. This picturesque East Hertfordshire village, nestled along the River Beane, is home to a vibrant and friendly community. Local amenities include a Budgens convenience store, welcoming local pubs, a well-regarded primary school, and a variety of clubs and societies that contribute to the village's lively atmosphere. The property is ideally situated just 4.5 miles east of Stevenage town centre and less than 5 miles from the mainline railway station. Stevenage lies on the East Coast Main Line, offering high-speed services to central London — with journey times as fast as 23 minutes to London King’s Cross and 28 minutes to St Pancras International. For road commuters, Junction 8 of the A1(M) is a short 5.4-mile drive away, providing excellent connectivity to the wider motorway network. Nearby towns including Hertford, Hitchin, Welwyn, Ware, and Stevenage offer a broad range of shopping, dining, and leisure facilities. The area is also well served by an excellent selection of both state and independent schools, including Heath Mount School (6 miles drive), St Edmund’s College (11 miles drive), Haileybury (13 miles drive), St Christopher School in Letchworth (9.6 miles drive) and Kingshott in Hitchin (7.2 miles drive).

Waters Edge is an exceptional residence occupying 0.71 acres of wonderfully private grounds in the sought-after village of Hemingford Grey. Discreetly positioned behind electric gates and approached via a large gravel driveway, the property immediately creates a wonderful sense of privacy and seclusion, with mature trees, expansive lawns and established planting creating an oasis that feels completely removed from the outside world. The current owners purchased the property and undertook a substantial extension and redesign, creating a beautifully considered home that combines generous modern living with distinctive architectural character. Extending to approximately 2,820 sq ft, the accommodation is introduced by an impressive entrance hall with a striking galleried landing above, setting the tone for the individual character found throughout the house. At the heart of the property is a superb open-plan kitchen and dining room, with stone work surfaces and generous proportions making it an ideal space for both relaxed family life and entertaining. The ground floor also provides a particularly characterful hexagonal sitting room, where the proportions create a wonderful sense of space and individuality, together with a wood burning stove adding to its charm. A separate snug provides a more informal retreat, while the study offers an excellent dedicated space for working from home, complemented by a useful utility room and boot room. Upstairs, the impressive hexagonal principal bedroom provides a wonderful private retreat and incorporates a dressing room and en suite facilities. From the bedroom, glimpses towards the lake behind the property can be enjoyed through the mature trees, particularly during the winter months when the foliage is less dense. Three further bedrooms and additional bathroom facilities provide excellent accommodation for family and guests. Outside, the property becomes particularly impressive. Large areas of lawn are framed by mature trees, providing a great level of privacy and ensuring that the property is not overlooked. A substantial terrace wraps around the rear of the house and leads towards the heated outdoor swimming pool, creating a wonderful setting for summer entertaining. Positioned alongside the pool is a dedicated outdoor kitchen, making this an enviable space for parties, long lunches and relaxed family gatherings, while allowing the gardens to become a true extension of the living accommodation during the warmer months. The grounds also include productive vegetable beds and a wealth of mature planting, while the lake situated to the rear brings an abundance of wildlife and adds to the peaceful, natural character of the setting. A substantial triple garage provides excellent garaging and storage, with a large room above which has previously been used as an office and offers considerable flexibility for those working from home, creating a studio or requiring additional recreational space. A separate garden store provides further useful storage. The combination of the beautifully redesigned accommodation, distinctive architectural features, exceptional privacy, extensive gardens, heated swimming pool, outdoor kitchen and additional garaging makes Waters Edge a particularly rare proposition. Situated within the picturesque village of Hemingford Grey, an area renowned for its attractive village setting along the banks of the River Great Ouse, the property also benefits from the excellent village amenities including village shops, post office, primary schooling, sports facilities and well-regarded village pub. The surrounding countryside and river valley provide an outstanding environment for walking and outdoor pursuits, while Huntingdon and St Ives are both within easy reach for a wider range of shopping, dining and leisure facilities. With Cambridge accessible via the A14 and Huntingdon railway station providing fast services to London King's Cross, the location also offers an excellent balance between rural living and connectivity. Waters Edge is ultimately a home that offers much more than generous accommodation; it provides a wonderfully private lifestyle setting where sophisticated family living, entertaining and an appreciation of the outdoors come together in a truly memorable way. Seller Insight Waters Edge has been our home for the past 34 years. What first drew us here was its incredible location, right beside the lake, along with the huge potential. Over the years, we extended the property and trebled its size, creating a home that has truly been designed around the way we live, relax and spend time together. Since living here, we have transformed almost every part of the property. We added a swimming pool, completely landscaped the gardens and created a wonderful outdoor living and kitchen area. One of the things we have always loved most is how light the house feels. The design is full of character. From the quirky hexagonal lounge and master bedroom, which are always a talking point, to the gallery hallway, there is a real sense of individuality throughout. It's perfect for open-plan family living and entertaining, while still offering quieter, tucked-away spaces. We have particularly loved the convenience of having two kitchens, which has been invaluable when hosting. There is a wonderful flow between indoors and out, and every part of the house has been carefully considered, with plenty of storage and practical touches to make family life easier. Perhaps surprisingly, one of our favourite rooms in the house is the hallway. It is such a large, welcoming space and has truly become the hub of our home. With the wood burner going, we have spent so much time there together as a family. It connects all of the rooms and creates such a sociable atmosphere. The garden is also one of the things I will miss most. Looking out over the lake, with the garden wrapping around the house, we are lucky enough to enjoy both beautiful sunrises and sunsets. The house and garden are filled with sunshine throughout the day, and there is something very special about hearing the geese on the lake. We have hosted countless celebrations here, including our daughter's 30th birthday, complete with live music and food vans. The house and grounds lend themselves so beautifully to entertaining. More importantly, though, this has been a real family home. It has always been somewhere our children's friends have always felt welcome which we have loved to witness over the years. The community here is also something very special. The pavilion is a wonderful asset, the Greyhouse is fantastic and has everything you could need on your doorstep and the annual regatta is such a brilliant event. Being beside the lake brings so many opportunities for beautiful walks. What I think I will miss most is the sunshine. There is always a feeling of light and warmth in this home, and that is something that has meant so much to us. It has been the backdrop to 34 wonderful years of family life and we can only hope its next family will love it and make it their own just as much as we have.

DESCRIPTION A beautiful detached grade II listed period cottage of substantial proportions that has been lovingly renovated and updated in the last 25 years by the present owners. Throughout the home it is clear that no expense has been spared with many bespoke fixtures and finishes found throughout the house. The accommodation sympathetically blends period character with contemporary features all of which is complimented by the quite stunning views over the surrounding countryside. Thatched Cottage is quite simply one of those homes you fall in love with. Whilst the main house provides generous living space with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, a large living room, dining room, a snug or garden room, utility room and a stunning kitchen/ breakfast room there is also a good size self contained annex that can just as easily be separate accommodation, as it can be integrated within the house. The annex is ideal for those who those who work from home or may wish to earn additional income from letting or Air BnB. STEP INSIDE The large Oak front door opens into a charming, good size dining room which is double aspect to the front and rear. 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.

The principal bedroom and second bedroom are particularly spacious and full of character. Two bathrooms serve the bedrooms. The very private and beautiful gardens complement the charming rear facade perfectly. Well-stocked borders sit alongside lawns, paths, and patios. A substantial wooden pergola draped in fragrant climbers is a wonderful spot for entertaining and relaxing. The large garage with an integral door provides parking and utility space. Seller Insight Built in the mid-1500s, The Old Cottage and surrounding land was once owned by renowned artist, Walter Dendy Sadler, and has featured in some of his paintings. He designed the gardens himself which, to this day, retain the same infrastructure in the flowerbeds and trees. We stood in the garden and were struck by the beauty, and it was this, along with the characterful, large rooms and sense of history that all came together and simply blew us away, recall the owners. The location was also very appealing as transport links are excellent. The setting is truly idyllic with unsurpassed views of the river, meadows, garden, churchyard, and church tower. Lake Ashmore, in the village, is perfect for open swimming. The village has lots going on and it's a great place for people of all ages to enjoy everything it has to offer, including the annual regatta where our sons earned their rowing skills and a love of the water for which we will be forever grateful. Just take a step out of the front door or through the garden gate and you will find yourself immersed in nature. From our garden gate we can access the river to drop ourselves in for a quick dip or canoe. The garden is secluded and not overlooked, so it lends itself to entertaining and we have naturally become the 'go to' place for work parties and gatherings with family and friends. The jasmine-covered pergola is a wonderful feature and we're surrounded by the divine scent whilst dining or relaxing in the swing chair. The addition of the breakfast room has been quite transformative in how we have lived in the house and it has been much loved by all. Panoramic views of the garden, trees, and length of the beautiful old part of the property provide a scenic backdrop for a room where we can sit and be at one with the scenery. We tend to gravitate towards the older part of the house as it has a very special ambience and characterful features, such as the double-sided inglenook. We've celebrated christenings and birthdays here, as well as our annual Christmas party when the dining room setting comes into its own. There are many serene spots in the house where we sit and lose ourselves in the peace and views of nature which are interrupted only by the occasional barge passing quietly by.
