The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with an abundance of mature trees and planting and a paved patio area. There is also a path offering access to the river. Seller InsightIt was the kerbside appeal that attracted us initially. We'd had a quick chat with the agent about the property, however it wasn't right for us when we did our first drive by. We did really like another house on the same road though and when we spoke to the office the following day, we realised that we'd looked at the wrong one and it was actually the house that we wanted that was for sale, so it all worked out perfectly in the end, say the owners.And when we saw the correct property, we fell in love with the spacious rooms and large garden. We could see the potential to create our ideal family home and set about making the necessary changes. We knocked down part of the house to the side and created a new extension to properly balance out the look and layout. My study is in this new part and it's a calm environment where I like to spend time, not only to work from home, but also to read my books.The property sits in grounds of over half an acre. We have space to park up to 10 cars at the front, which is useful when we're entertaining, whilst the rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with mature trees, bushes, beautiful flowers, and a natural area that attracts a wide range of wildlife. The garden is a fun place to be where we've hosted BBQs, a baby shower, birthdays, and family get-togethers where the children chase each other around the central island and hide in the bushes.We spend a lot of time in the large open plan kitchen / living area. It's equally as good for large gatherings or for sitting peacefully by the log burner enjoying the views of the garden. The lounge is a cosy space where we watch tv and relax but I think my favourite place would be the veranda. It's a covered spot in the garden that offers shelter even on the rainiest of days. On our first day here, I got a chair, sat down with a cup of coffee, and enjoyed the smell of summer in the rain. Heaven.We enjoy easy access to the surrounding road network, bus service, and train station from where we can visit National Trust properties and our friends and family around the country. We have some excellent facilities within walking distance and there are some lovely pubs and restaurants a little further afield.

House with pool and garden Huntingdon (United Kingdom)
Period home set in a truly unique waterside plot including a river meadow island. Cambridge and London are within easy reach. Tucked away at the end of a sought-after no-through lane on the edge of a charming village, Watermill House is a rare gema period home nestled within a breathtaking riverside setting of almost 10 acres, including a private water meadow island. With Cambridge and London easily accessible, this is countryside living without compromise, the well served village is just a short walk. From the moment you arrive, the magic of this home begins to unfold. A gravel driveway leads to the wisteria-draped front façade, where the house sits elegantly at the water's edge. Here, privacy and tranquillity reign, and the only sounds are birdsong and the gentle flow of the river.Inside, the house is filled with character and charm. There are four inviting reception rooms, including a study with parquet flooring and a wood-burning stove, a beautifully light sitting room with a walk-out bay window, and a vaulted ceiling garden room that invites the outside in. Many rooms enjoy uninterrupted river views or open directly onto the gardens, making this a home that truly connects with its surroundings.Upstairs, there are five generously sized double bedrooms, served by a stylish family bathroom. The principal suite enjoys its own ensuite and a picture window that perfectly frames the river open countryside beyond.Outside, the grounds are a haven of natural beautysweeping lawns, a wildflower meadow, a thriving orchard, and a productive kitchen garden all play their part. Two bridges, maintained by the Environment Agency, provide access first to a smaller island and then on to the main river meadow island, ideal for private picnics, wild swimming, or simply escaping the everyday.Mature trees, open countryside, and flowing water surround the property on all sides, offering a lifestyle that feels worlds away from the hustle and bustleyet with easy access to nearby towns, city connections, and excellent schools.Additional features include a secondary driveway, garage, workshop, and storeall contributing to the property's practical appeal.Seller Insight Set along the tranquil banks of the River Great Ouse, Watermill House is a distinguished Grade II listed home dating back to the early 18th century. 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. Much of the villages are in a Conservation Area with many thatched cottages and barns and other architecturally important buildings such as the Grade I listed church with its spire being a landmark for miles around the Ouse valley. Hemingford Abbots has excellent facilities: across the road from the Axe & Compass pub is the purpose-built Village Hall and playing field. The playing field with open grassland is equipped with modern children's play equipment. The village shares many facilities with neighbouring Hemingford Grey: village shop, post office, primary school and sports pitches and the award winning Cock pub. Between the two villages there are a variety of clubs, societies and activities such as the annual Regatta and biennial Flower Festival. Transport The Hemingfords sit between the towns of Huntingdon and St Ives where a wider selection of shops, restaurants and leisure facilities are available. The newly modified A14 provides quick and easy access into Cambridge and links to the A1, M11 and the national motorway network. Huntingdon has a railway station, approx. 10 minutes' drive away, with fast trains into London King's Cross in approx. 50 minutes and links to the North via Peterborough whilst St Ives offers the Guided Busway service to the Cambridge Science Park and city centre. Education There is a good selection of primary schools including: Hemingford Grey Primary and Houghton Primary, both Ofsted rated: Good.

House with garden and terrace St. Neots (United Kingdom)
Individual architect designed home in a charming village with a generous southwest facing garden. The current owners oversaw the construction of this distinctive home, which has been finished with exacting attention to detail and luxurious fixtures and fittings including Villeroy and Boch sanitary wear. The reception hall provides a dramatic first impression with its vaulted ceiling, bespoke oak staircase, galleried landing, and bifold doors looking out to the rear garden and open views beyond. A cloakroom and cloaks area offer convenient facilities and storage for guests and occupants. Perfect for formal dining and entertaining, this space can also serve as additional living space for busy families.The generous kitchen/breakfast room shares garden views through an oversized picture window and glazed doors that open onto the rear terrace. It features luxurious stonework surfaces, a central island, and high-end integrated appliances. The large utility room is ideal for dog owners and outdoor enthusiasts, providing a practical laundry space.The large sitting room, bathed in light through full-height glazing, offers a more intimate and private space. The study is perfect for home working but is also large enough to serve as a snug or playroom. A ground floor guest suite bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe and en suite completes the ground floor, adding flexibility and futureproofing.Upstairs, the principal bedroom is particularly special, boasting a vaulted ceiling that extends over a balcony with apex-height glazing. An en suite and walk-in wardrobe create the feel of a luxurious hotel room. The second bedroom also has an en suite, while the third and fourth bedrooms share a family bathroom.Outside, the landscaped rear garden backs onto open countryside. Large lawns are surrounded by well-stocked borders, and the timber cabin would make an excellent gym, hobby space, or study. At the front, the gated drive opens onto ample parking and turning space, providing access to a double oak framed cart lodge.Seller Insight The development of the property was born out of the fact we simply couldn't' find the house we were looking for, says the owner. We'd been hunting for one that offered energy efficiency, light and comfort but were unable to find anything that ticked all the boxes. Therefore, we decided to build our own, and ultimately, we were able to create a really exceptional family home, one that has everything we wanted: five-bedrooms, five luxurious bathrooms, lots of light, lots of space to lavishly entertain our family both children and grandchildren and the eco efficiency that had been lacking in the many houses we'd previously viewed.We enlisted the help of Matt Lowther of Workshop76, a fantastic local architect who designed and project managed the house build. He took on board all of our wants and ideas and created a really stunning design for the house. It has been built on a rock-solid foundation with thirty-two piles to support the two apex wings, and also the atrium and galleried landing that connect them. It's incredibly well insulated and therefore has an EPC rating of A, and we installed an air source heat pump, meaning the energy consumption for such a big house is relatively low. The large Rationel aluminum windows and glazed doors flood the rooms with natural light, and the open layout creates a fantastic feeling of space. Standout features for us are the open-plan kitchen and living area, a very sociable space, and the real hub of the house, and we also love the huge and very luxurious master suite, which has sliding doors that open out onto a really large balcony, where we've spent many an evening with friends having a glass of wine and watching the sun go down.A combination of sliding patio doors and bi-fold doors have been added to create a really nice sense of connection between inside and out, and we have a beautifully manicured south-facing garden with space for relaxing and entertaining. The flowers are calming pinks, purples and reds, and there is a vegetable patch at the back. We also have a log cabin with power and lighting that offers children a place to play, and a shed that provides plenty of space for storage.We will be sorry to leave this beautiful house and indeed the village, but we need to relocate for family reasons. We will miss the absolute comfort and quietness that the house offers, but also the community within Eltisley who have embraced us as a 'family' so much so that we were told they do not want us to move! We've loved socialising at the social club and have formed a loving relationship with most of the villagers. It will definitely be a wrench to leave.Village information Eltisley is a charming village with a picturesque green with a cricket club established in 1854, thatched pavilion with bar, 13th century parish church, primary school, and popular public house/restaurant The Eltisley. Cambourne, approximately 3 miles to the east, offers an excellent range of shopping facilities including a supermarket, banking facilities, GP/dental/pharmacy facilities and a selection of cafes and restaurants. Transport Eltisley is situated approximately 5 miles east of St Neots and 12 miles west of Cambridge and a short drive to the A428 provides easy access to the A1 and A14 with links to the wider national motorway network. The proposed A428 road improvements will divert much of the existing traffic away from the village and will be a real bonus for the area as well as improving local journey times. The short drive to St Neots railway station provides fast links into London King's Cross in under an hour and links to the North via Peterborough.

Combining timeless character, exceptional craftsmanship and modern convenience, it offers a rare opportunity to acquire one of the area's most captivating period homes.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. The village also benefits from a museum and archive collection celebrating its rich local history.Historical landmarks include the remains of the 13th-century moated manor known as Gannocks, the former RAF Tempsford airfield, which played a significant role in the Second World War, and the attractive Millennium Garden Sanctuary. Located at the entrance to the garden is the RAF Tempsford Memorial, unveiled by HRH The Prince of Wales (now King Charles III) in December 2013 in honour of the men and women who flew secret wartime missions from the village.

Stepping into the kitchen at the heart of the house, instantly felt special. As a converted barn it has real character, but it is also warm, light and wonderfully practical. This room has been the centre of our family life: everyday breakfasts, long conversations, and countless parties. It is a true entertaining space and has seen everything from housewarming celebrations to relaxed Christmas dinners.One of the things we have loved most is the sheer size and layout. With four teenage children, everyone was able to have their own space. Two bedrooms sit on one side of the house, giving our eldest children a sense of independence, while the large bedroom above the garages complete with en suite and dressing room, became the perfect retreat for one of the boys. Above the kitchen is the main bedroom, glass-fronted and overlooking open fields. Waking up to the sunrise here is something I will genuinely miss.The garden has been just as much a part of our story. There is a large lawn with a magnificent walnut tree at its centre, complete with a swinging chair; an above-ground pool that goes up every summer; and a pergola at the far end that is perfect for drinks on a summer evening. We have hosted live bands in the garden for birthdays and celebrations, while day to day the house remains incredibly peaceful, not at all overlooked.Molehill Barns feels secluded, but never isolated. We share a secure courtyard with a small number of neighbours, creating a lovely, supportive community. Two pubs are within walking distance, Potton village is just seven minutes away, and with Sandy and Biggleswade stations close by, commuting into London has always been easy.
