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. The village is home to the traditional Wheatsheaf public house, St Peter's Church, a Methodist Church, the popular Knotts Farm Shop and Farm Park, and a large Village Hall which hosts the annual Tempsford Show.

House with garden and terrace Huntingdon (United Kingdom)

Set in a peaceful and idyllic location with views over the neighbouring church and river, this period residence features well-presented accommodation with good ceiling height and a rich history. The two principal reception rooms are dual aspect and offer wonderful views of the garden and charming inglenook fireplaces. The kitchen has been sympathetically extended with a breakfast room, flooding the space with natural light and connecting the indoors and outdoors. Two staircases provide access to the first floor and study space. Upstairs, the four double bedrooms are all dual aspect, with most overlooking the garden and/or the river and church. 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.

Contemporary house with garden and terrace Rushden (United Kingdom)

An exceptional opportunity to acquire two individually designed detached homes, occupying an impressive private setting extending to approximately 4.7 acres. 84 and 84A Avenue Road were designed and constructed by the current owners in 2019 for their own family occupation. Drawing upon more than 54 years of experience within the construction industry, considerable attention was given not simply to appearance, but to the integrity, comfort, longevity and efficiency of the buildings. The result is two beautifully considered three-bedroom homes offering an unusually high standard of construction, together with extensive landscaped gardens, approximately 4.2 acres of paddocks, garaging, equestrian facilities and highly versatile ancillary accommodation. For families looking to live alongside one another whilst retaining independence, the arrangement is particularly compelling. Equally, the combination of two separate homes, land and outbuildings creates a lifestyle opportunity that is extremely difficult to replicate. The Homes Both properties have been designed around comfortable modern living, with generous accommodation and aluminium windows and bi-folding doors creating a natural connection between the interiors and surrounding grounds. Behind the contemporary finish is a particularly impressive construction specification. Built using traditional brick and block construction, the homes incorporate fully insulated 150mm cavity walls, concrete ground floors and reinforced concrete first floors. The latter were specifically chosen to minimise vibration and improve sound insulation between the floors. Reinforced concrete staircases provide a similarly substantial feel, eliminating the movement and creaking often associated with more conventional staircase construction, while acoustic floor and ceiling construction further reduces noise transmission between levels. It is a level of consideration that reflects the fact these properties were never constructed simply for resale; they were created by experienced construction professionals as long-term homes for their own family. Heating & Energy Efficiency Comfort and efficiency were integral to the original design. Both properties benefit from wet underfloor heating throughout, with individual room thermostats allowing temperatures to be independently controlled. Combined with the highly insulated construction, this creates an efficient and comfortable environment throughout the seasons. Approximately 12kW of solar PV serves the properties, of which approximately 4kW remains on the original Feed-in Tariff, providing a valuable annual income. The owners advise that, historically, the Feed-in Tariff income attributable to 84A has covered its annual electricity and gas costs under normal occupancy. Gardens & Grounds The setting is one of the defining features of this remarkable offering. The properties occupy approximately 4.7 acres in total, comprising around half an acre of beautifully landscaped formal gardens and approximately 4.2 acres of paddocks with Planning Permission for a Menage. Electric entrance gates provide an impressive sense of arrival, opening onto extensive concrete-paved driveways and pathways continuing towards the stable yard. Secondary gates further along the driveway provide additional separation between the residential and ancillary areas. The grounds have been thoughtfully equipped with external power points and water supplies, while a purpose-built rainwater harvesting well collects water from the roofs for use in garden irrigation. Together, the formal gardens and adjoining paddocks create an appealing balance between landscaped outdoor living and open space, with obvious appeal for those with equestrian or country lifestyle interests. Stables, Workshop & Ancillary Accommodation A substantial brick and block stable complex further distinguishes the property and incorporates stables, a tack room and workshop. In addition, there is a fully constructed ancillary room currently utilised as an office and fourth bedroom. Finished to a particularly useful standard, it incorporates underfloor heating, a shower room, WC, wash basin, storage and mains services. This creates an excellent degree of flexibility for those working from home, accommodating guests or requiring space for hobbies and other uses, subject to any necessary consents. Internet connectivity has also been extended beyond the houses into the principal outbuildings, including the office/stable complex. Garaging & Parking Both homes enjoy their own garaging and generous parking provision. No. 84 benefits from a double garage with an EV charging point and Wi-Fi connectivity, while No. 84A has a single garage and its own EV charging point. The extensive paved driveway provides substantial additional parking and continues through the grounds towards the stable complex. A Rare Lifestyle Opportunity What makes 84 and 84A Avenue Road particularly special is not one individual feature, but the combination they provide. Two separate three-bedroom detached homes allow different generations of a family to live alongside one another whilst retaining their own independence and privacy. Add to this approximately 4.7 acres, paddocks, equestrian facilities, workshops, ancillary accommodation and an exceptional underlying construction specification, and the result is a proposition quite unlike the conventional modern home. Whether sought for multi-generational living, equestrian interests, home working or simply the freedom afforded by owning two homes and land within one setting, 84 and 84A Avenue Road represent an exceptionally rare opportunity. Location Avenue Road is situated in Rushden, providing convenient access to the town's extensive everyday amenities while the scale and grounds of the property create a notably more private lifestyle. Rushden and neighbouring Higham Ferrers offer a broad selection of shops, schools, leisure facilities, restaurants and everyday services, while Rushden Lakes provides an extensive choice of retail, dining and leisure opportunities. The location is also well placed for access to surrounding Northamptonshire countryside and neighbouring towns including Wellingborough, Bedford and Northampton. For commuters, rail services from Bedford and Wellingborough provide connections towards London, while the A45 gives convenient road access towards the wider regional network.

Built in 1580, it is one of those exceptionally rare homes that feels extraordinary at first glance: rich in history, full of character and imbued with a warmth that cannot be manufactured. Despite its distinguished heritage, it has always felt wonderfully easy to live in. Behind its handsome façade lies a private sanctuary where the outside world melts away and the peaceful garden feels a million miles from everyday life. What truly set Bell House apart for us was this remarkable combination of tranquillity and convenience. Within minutes, we could reach the A1, the A14 and Huntingdon station, making connections effortless without compromising the calm of village life. Over the years, we have carefully enhanced the house with enormous respect for its heritage. The roof has been completely renewed, original wooden floors and pamment tiles lovingly restored, fireplaces reopened and a former cowshed transformed into a beautifully appointed guest suite. Every improvement has been guided by longevity, comfort and a desire to preserve the soul of the house. The interior were thoughtfully designed by well-known interior designers Joanne Lindsay and Jane Keisner. Bell House has witnessed the happiest chapters of our family life. Our children spent carefree summers picking fruit from the garden, sleeping in the treehouse, racing along a zip wire through the orchard and cycling through the village ford. The garden itself is magical: sun-filled from morning until dusk, with magnificent sunsets and spaces equally suited to quiet reflection or lively gatherings. Entertaining here has always been effortless. Intimate candlelit dinners have stretched long into the night, while fundraising events and celebrations for over a hundred guests have flowed seamlessly through the four reception rooms. Yet, when the house is quiet, our favourite retreat remains the principal bedroom and dressing room: indulgent, comforting and utterly peaceful. “Bell House doesn’t seek to impress; it charms everyone who walks through the door.” offering history, warmth and a setting in which memories are made and treasured for generations.

The gardens extend around the house and open out towards wonderful views over the surrounding countryside and a small paddock, creating a particularly tranquil and private setting. A range of useful outbuildings further enhance the property, including a garage, log store and workshop, together with a separate office with its own WC. There is also generous off-street parking, making Oak Barn particularly well suited to family life and those requiring space for home working or recreational pursuits. Old Hurst is an attractive and characterful Cambridgeshire village with a strong sense of community. Village life centres around the church, which hosts a variety of activities including coffee mornings, singing and craft groups. The village's original red telephone box has also been given a new lease of life as a popular book exchange. A particular local attraction is Johnsons of Old Hurst, a renowned farm shop and butchers, complete with a steakhouse restaurant and tea room serving locally sourced produce. Families are well catered for too, with a children's play area, farm walk and an eclectic collection of rare-breed animals. For everyday amenities, the market town of Huntingdon is approximately a 15-minute drive away and provides an extensive selection of supermarkets, shops, restaurants and public houses. Seller Insight The connection between the house and its surroundings has always been important to us. We added bi-fold doors to both the sitting room and dining room, bringing in more light and opening the principal living spaces directly onto the garden and the landscape beyond. The south-facing garden has been designed to be attractive but relatively easy to maintain. We replaced the patios, introduced raised beds and added a substantial gazebo, which has effectively created an additional living space. Furnished with sofas, a television and fridge, it allows us to spend much of the day outside while remaining sheltered from the strongest sun. Inside, the kitchen-diner is the room we use most. The large central island makes it a very sociable space, while the addition of a sofa means it works equally well for cooking, dining or simply sitting together. It has been particularly well suited to having our adult children and grandchildren to stay, with enough space for everyone to gather comfortably. Old Hurst itself has been an equally important part of our enjoyment of the house. It is a small, friendly village where we have made some very good friends, and Johnsons of Old Hurst with its farm shop, steakhouse, tearoom and zoo, is only a couple of minutes’ walk away. What we will miss most, however, is the setting. There is something quite special about looking out over uninterrupted fields and countryside while still feeling entirely private. It is that combination of expansive views, peace and seclusion that has made Oak Barn such an enjoyable place to live. Village Information Old Hurst is a small village lying approx. 5 miles from the market towns of Huntingdon and St Ives which offer a variety of high street and local independent stores, bars and restaurants, supermarkets and a wide range of sports and leisure activities. Within the village is the pretty parish church of St Peters which dates from the 13th century and is Grade II* listed. Johnsons of Old Hurst is a popular farm shop with coffee shop, woodland walks, farmyard animals and zoological gardens/tropical house; ideal for family outings. Although there are no schools within the village there is a good selection of well-regarded primary schools in the nearby villages of Warboys, Wyton-on-the-Hill and Houghton to name a few and well-regarded secondary schools in St Ives, Huntingdon and Ramsey. There are also regular bus services to Huntingdon and St Ives. Huntingdon has a mainline train station with fast commuter links into London King’s Cross in approx. 45 minutes and both Huntingdon and St Ives offer the popular guided bus service to Cambridge city centre.

This versatile building lends itself to a wide range of potential uses, including a detached annexe, home office, or leisure space. The current owners have previously submitted a pre-application planning enquiry, which received a favourable response for conversion into a separate dwelling. Seller Insight Conveniently located in historic Barkway village, this elegant Georgian home has been lived in and loved by the same family for over thirty years. The family were looking for a spacious home, large enough for family life and with the added benefit of an annexe that would accommodate an elderly parent, whilst still being connected to the main house. The Oak House ticked all the boxes, and the owners describes the immediate welcoming atmosphere and charm the family experienced when they viewed the property. Over the years each room has been enjoyed and appreciated, with all the spaces thoughtfully suited to both everyday living and entertaining. The living room and library combine to make a favourite space and have a definite wow factor, and the owners say first time visitors always exclaim: Stunning!. This is where you can relax by the glow of the wood burner or read and work contentedly in the library area. The garden room provides a delightful link between the house and garden and is the perfect place for breakfast and a morning coffee with the garden as a pretty background and perhaps give guests a pre-dinner drink before moving through to the dining room. It is a home which can comfortably provide hospitality and the owners recall memorable parties, including an event when a marquee was installed in the garden and guests drifted happily between house and garden. Externally, the garden is a real extension of the living space. There are charming areas to sit and relax either under the pergola, in the shade of an apple tree or enjoying al fresco meals around the twelve-seater table by the barn at the end of the garden. The barn is a substantial building and currently used as an office with sauna, shower facilities and a mezzanine sitting area, yet large enough for conversion into a separate dwelling. The owners will miss the comfort, space and character of the much-loved home but the time has come to downsize and move nearer to family. The house is ready to welcome its next family and create a new chapter of memories.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a home of such character, scale and setting, where period charm and modern comfort exist in perfect harmony. 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.

Approached through impressive wrought iron electric gates and along a long, sweeping driveway, the house reveals itself amid an extraordinary landscape of mature woodland, meadows and meticulously maintained gardens. From its elevated position overlooking the charming village of Wistow, the property enjoys far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside, with spectacular sunsets providing a fitting end to the day. The grounds are undoubtedly one of the property's defining features. Thoughtfully designed and immaculately maintained, they offer an extraordinary variety of landscapes and spaces to explore, including a beautiful arboretum, established orchard, ornamental duck pond, perennial flower gardens, productive fruit and vegetable gardens, apiary, aviary, woodland, meadows and an extensive network of pathways. Paddocks, stables, barns and immaculate dog kennels further enhance the property's appeal, providing superb facilities for those seeking an equestrian, canine or smallholding lifestyle. The house itself offers generous and versatile accommodation arranged over two floors, combining traditional country-house character with modern comfort. A series of distinct reception rooms provides flexibility for both formal entertaining and relaxed family life, while the impressive open-plan kitchen, living and dining space forms the natural heart of the home. Designed for contemporary country living, this substantial room provides an exceptional setting for everyday family life, entertaining and enjoying the ever-changing views across the grounds. Additional ground-floor accommodation includes a utility room, shower room, WC and private office, together with a separate dining room, elegant drawing room and conservatory. The combination of reception spaces allows the property to adapt effortlessly to both intimate occasions and larger gatherings. On the first floor are five well-proportioned bedrooms, including two with en-suite facilities, together with a family bathroom. The bedrooms provide peaceful private spaces from which to enjoy the rural setting, while the overall arrangement makes the house equally well suited to family occupation, entertaining and hosting guests. Externally, the property continues to impress. A substantial triple garage provides secure garaging and valuable storage, complemented by the property's extensive barns and ancillary buildings. Solar panels with battery storage further enhance the estate's modern credentials, contributing to its energy efficiency while complementing the self-sufficient character of the property. The extensive grounds create an almost private world of their own, offering opportunities for leisurely walks, gardening, keeping animals, entertaining outdoors or simply enjoying the peace and privacy of the countryside. Whether strolling through the arboretum, tending the productive gardens, watching wildlife beside the duck pond or relaxing on one of the property's patio areas as the sun sets over the farmland, Pointers is a home designed to be experienced as much as admired. Rarely does a property offer such a compelling combination of beautifully presented accommodation, exceptional grounds and extensive lifestyle facilities. Pointers is more than a country home; it is a complete rural retreat, offering privacy, tranquillity, space and an enviable connection with the landscape. For those seeking an exceptional country lifestyle, this is a property with the space, setting and facilities to make that aspiration a reality. Seller Insight There is a particular feeling you get when you realise you have found somewhere that could become entirely your own. For us, that was Pointers. We arrived to find a house with no immediate neighbours and 15 acres of land around it and immediately saw the possibilities. It was a blank canvas, somewhere we could create an easily maintained, natural refuge for wildlife, while making a home for ourselves and our dogs. I grew up in the countryside and, as a child, learnt to notice and appreciate nature and animals. That connection has always stayed with me, and at Pointers we have been able to create the kind of environment we love. Every tree, hedge, pond, paddock and walkway has been planned and planted by us, with the aim of making the land beautiful while encouraging as much wildlife as possible. What was once a bare stubble field has become a rich and varied habitat, with small woods threaded by paths and rides. The ponds have become a particularly special part of the landscape. There are two: a formal, fenced pond close to the house, complete with a waterfall and ornamental ducks, and a much larger flight pond towards the southern end of the property, which attracts an abundance of wildfowl. Visiting ducks and geese regularly nest on the island in the middle of the pond, adding to the feeling that the wildlife here is very much part of everyday life. There is something new to discover every day. We have an outstanding variety of butterflies and moths, as well as dragonflies, slow worms, grass snakes, foxes, badgers and deer. The birdlife is particularly wonderful, with swallows, barn owls, raptors, game birds and countless other species making use of the land. Quiet evening walks often bring the chance to see deer moving through the paddocks, while the ponds provide a constant source of activity and birdsong. We are passionate about pointing dogs, so having space to train them was another important part of creating Pointers. The paddocks have also provided a wonderfully useful setting for sheep, horses and ponies, and have even been borrowed by a local farmer for cows and calves. Over time, the land has become home to an extraordinary variety of wildlife and mammal species, while still remaining a practical and enjoyable part of the way we live. The house itself has more than doubled in size since we bought it, evolving alongside the landscape. It has become a spacious and comfortable family home, with generous reception rooms, a large kitchen and living area overlooking the surrounding farmland, and bedrooms enjoying views across the gardens, paddocks and countryside. Sitting slightly elevated on a natural rise, Pointers enjoys an amazing open outlook, with views extending well beyond the property's own land across the surrounding farmland and countryside. The elevated position means these far-reaching views can be enjoyed from both the ground and first floors, adding to the wonderful sense of space and seclusion. There are plenty of practical spaces too, including the garages, workshop, utility, stables and purpose-built kennels, which have all made the property work beautifully for the way we have lived here. Looking back, we feel incredibly fortunate to have had the opportunity to take a neglected property and create not simply a home, but a whole environment, one that continues to surprise and delight us with its wildlife, peace and sense of connection to nature.
