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.

The combination of glass and natural wood blends modern design with timeless style.   Beyond the entrance hall lies a stunning, open-plan kitchen designed with both functionality and sociability in mind. Featuring elegant cabinetry painted in Farrow & Ball’s ‘Dimity’ and crisp white quartz stone worktops, the space centres around a generous island that incorporates a double sink, integrated dishwasher, breakfast bar seating and show stopping Tom Dixon globe pendant lights hang above. A traditional gas fuelled AGA adds charm and warmth, there are two additional electric ovens, a gas hob and a generous walk-in pantry with a second dishwasher, fridge freezer and storage shelves. Bathed in natural light, and with ‘arctic white’ engineered oak flooring throughout, this open plan space is bright and airy, enhanced by a large roof lantern positioned above the generous dining area.  There is a stunning fitted glass cabinet for crockery and glassware as well as displaying photographs and ornamental treasures.  Bi-fold doors seamlessly connect the interior to the covered decked terrace, which leads out to a swimming pool and surrounding seating area — perfect for entertaining or relaxing in the sun. Flowing naturally from the dining space is the open-plan lounge, offering uninterrupted views of the garden through a second set of bi-fold doors. This inviting living area is the ideal spot to unwind while enjoying the peaceful outlook over the pool and landscaped grounds.   Just off the kitchen lies a large utility leading to the back door and offering an extensive run of built-in storage cupboards and ample worksurface. This practical area has a sink and there is space and plumbing for an extra washing machine and tumble dryer, if required; ideal for busy family living. Here, you will also find a smaller laundry room with clothes drying space, a washing machine, tumble dryer, a sink and a purpose-built dog shower area. Returning through the hallway, there is a stylish cloakroom and access to the home's generous reception rooms.  Originally an office, but thoughtfully designed to offer versatility and comfort, this space has been fitted with bespoke walnut shelving, a desk and shelves that surround the TV.  This large reception room now lends itself perfectly to be a TV snug or cinema room, with a remote-control projector and full-size screen and wall mounted air conditioning unit.  The second reception is laid out as a more traditional lounge area, with a stunning almond coloured wood burning stove as the focal point.  The room offers fitted wall to ceiling shelving and bi fold doors open to the decked area and views of the garden.   The next room off the hallway is the show-stopping ground floor master suite — a truly impressive space designed for comfort and luxury. This expansive, air-conditioned room offers a dedicated seating area and a generously sized bedroom, creating a calm and private retreat within the home.  A bespoke walk-through wardrobe provides ample storage, with shelving and hanging space on both sides, leading seamlessly to two beautifully appointed ‘his and hers’  en suite bathrooms — one featuring a large double shower, the other with a freestanding bath, perfect for unwinding. Windows and bi-folding doors with stylish shutters frame the view of the garden and open onto a more secluded patio area, offering direct access to the outdoor space and a peaceful spot to relax in complete privacy.  All the rooms on the ground floor benefit from gas fuelled underfloor heating. Climbing the elegant oak staircase, you’ll find four spacious double bedrooms, each thoughtfully designed with fitted wardrobes, their own en suite bathroom and heated via gas radiators. One of these bedrooms stands out with particularly generous built-in storage, a large, well-appointed shower room and air conditioning making it a strong contender for an alternative master suite, if an upstairs bedroom is desired.  All bedrooms enjoy elevated views over the beautiful rear garden, with the surrounding countryside providing a tranquil and scenic backdrop. The annex is a superb addition to the property, providing flexible living accommodation ideal for extended family or guests. Thoughtfully designed with an open-plan layout, the kitchen and dining area has a utility/pantry cupboard and the lounge is centred around a wood-burning stove, adding warmth and character.  The annex includes two well-proportioned bedrooms and a separate bathroom. With its own entrance and a comfortable, self-contained layout, the annex blends privacy with connectivity to the main home — making it a truly valuable asset. Step Outside Entering the property through secure electric gates, a gravel driveway winds past the house, with block-paved parking area for 2–3 vehicles conveniently located by the back door. Continuing along the drive, you'll find a beautifully constructed oak-framed garage on the right, offering covered parking for four vehicles.  Mature hedging and established trees line the route as you pass a charming two-bedroom annex and approach a substantial storage barn. This versatile outbuilding is approximately 1700 square feet, and divided into four large units, each accessed via a combination of double doors and roller shutters. Equipped with lighting, plumbing, and a kitchen area, the barn is ideal for workshops, business use, or extensive storage needs.  As a point of interest, this barn was previously approved to be converted into a 4 bedroom property, although that consent has now lapsed.   The gravel drive continues in a loop around a central planted roundabout, enhancing the practicality and elegance of the layout.  Set within approximately six acres of landscaped grounds, the gardens are as impressive as the house itself. 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.

SELLERS INSIGHT Twenty-Two Wonderful Years at Ivory Some houses impress you on the day you first see them. The very best continue to reward you every single day thereafter. When we first drove through the gates of Ivory more than twenty-two years ago, we had an unmistakable feeling that we had arrived somewhere rather special. At the time we were returning to the UK after several years living and working in Brussels, looking for somewhere to put down roots for the next chapter of our lives. Like many families making an international move, our priority was finding not simply a beautiful house, but a community that offered an exceptional quality of life, outstanding educational opportunities and somewhere we could truly call home. Bishop's Stortford immediately stood out, and Ivory gave us everything we had hoped for—and so much more. Looking back today, it is difficult to imagine another home that could have been better suited to our family. Over the years, Ivory adapted effortlessly to every stage of our lives. It naturally became a place where friends gathered. The generous gardens, tennis court and games room were always full of life, while the abundance of space meant everyone could enjoy their own independence, with plenty of adult-free corners to call their own. Looking back, some of our happiest memories are simply of hearing laughter coming from different parts of the house and knowing that everyone felt so at home here. Beyond the house itself, the location proved every bit as rewarding. Having worked across Europe and travelled extensively, it was always reassuring to return home to such peaceful surroundings. Yet despite its wonderfully private setting, we were never isolated. Straightforward rail connections from Bishop's Stortford into London's Liverpool Street made commuting effortless when required, while spontaneous evenings in the West End, leisurely afternoons exploring Cambridge or early morning flights from Stansted were all remarkably easy to enjoy. Equally, some of our most treasured moments were much closer to home—a quiet walk through Hatfield Forest or simply wandering the surrounding countryside with the dog before returning to the peace and privacy of Ivory. Looking back, it is that rare balance between accessibility and tranquillity that we came to appreciate more with each passing year. If there is one room that best captures life at Ivory, it is the kitchen. Family breakfasts before work or school, Sunday lunches, Christmas celebrations and countless conversations over coffee have all revolved around this welcoming space. One of the unexpected pleasures has been just how much the surrounding area has enriched our lives. We originally chose Bishop's Stortford because of the exceptional choice of excellent primary and secondary schools, but we soon discovered so much more. Perhaps what we have appreciated most is the balance that Ivory offers. People often ask what we shall miss most. The truthful answer is that it is impossible to choose just one thing. We will miss opening the gates and knowing we are home. We will miss morning coffee overlooking the gardens, summer evenings on the terrace, the changing colours of the seasons and the simple pleasure of living somewhere that has always felt peaceful, welcoming and exceptionally well connected. Looking back over the past twenty-two years, we realise that Ivory has given us something that is becoming increasingly difficult to find—a genuine sense of balance. It has been a place where family life, friendships, fulfilling careers and quiet moments have all found their place. We can think of no finer legacy for a home than that. As we prepare to begin an exciting new chapter in Edinburgh, we leave with enormous gratitude for everything Ivory has given us over the past twenty-two years. Our hope is that its next owners will come to love it every bit as much as we have and create memories of their own that will last a lifetime.
