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.

A truly magnificent five-bedroom Victorian residence, The Limes is an exceptional country home nestled within the idyllic Cambridgeshire village of Offord D'Arcy. Steeped in heritage and architectural elegance, the property offers an exquisite sense of grandeur, beautifully balanced with the ease and comfort of contemporary living. Approached via a long, sweeping gravel driveway and secured behind automated wrought-iron gates, the sense of arrival is both private and quietly impressive. As the house comes into view, its handsome façade and refined arched portico create a striking first impression, setting the tone for the scale and sophistication that lies within. Set within approximately two acres of exquisitely maintained grounds, The Limes enjoys a peaceful and secluded setting. Internally, the home is bathed in natural light, with tall sash windows illuminating the beautifully proportioned rooms. At its heart, a graceful curved staircase rises beneath an elegant roof lantern, forming a captivating architectural centrepiece. Extending to over 3,000 sq ft, the accommodation offers a superb balance of formal and informal living. The principal reception rooms are particularly impressive, featuring full-height walk-out bay windows that blur the line between indoors and out, while the exceptional ceiling heights enhance the sense of volume and refinement throughout. The kitchen breakfast room has been transformed by the current owners to create a warm and sociable hub of the home. Centred around a classic AGA and complemented by a generous island, it is a space equally suited to everyday family life and relaxed entertaining. A standout feature is the beautifully appointed garden room/orangery, perfectly positioned to enjoy views across the formal gardens. Opening onto a glass-covered terrace, it provides an elegant setting for year-round entertaining. The space also benefits from previously approved planning permission, offering further potential for enhancement. Dating back to circa 1860, The Limes was originally constructed as the Rectory to neighbouring St Peter's Church. Although later divided in 1969, the property retains the majority of its original accommodation along with an abundance of period character. Its rich history includes associations with RAF Graveley Airfield during the Second World War, and the grounds have long played host to the much-loved village fête, often accompanied by nostalgic RAF flypasts. Offord D'Arcy itself offers a quintessential village lifestyle, complete with a welcoming public house, local shop, and equestrian facilities. The nearby village of Buckden provides additional amenities, while the market town of St Neots (less than five miles away) and the city of Cambridge (approximately 20 miles) offer a comprehensive range of shopping, dining, and excellent rail connections into London. For families, Offord Primary School is within easy walking distance, with well-regarded secondary options including Longsands Academy in St Neots and Hinchingbrooke School in Huntingdon. A number of highly regarded independent schools are also accessible, including Kimbolton School. Seller Insight When we first found The Limes, we knew it offered something special: a wonderful sense of space and calm, while still being brilliantly practical for everyday life. With both Huntingdon and St Neots stations within easy reach, it was the ideal base for commuting to London, and for more than 30 years it has been a home that has truly grown with us. An historic former rectory, once used as a children's home during the war, this is a home that was full of character and memories before we even arrived, and we have loved adding our own memories to its story. One of the things we needed from the outset was flexibility, and having two large en suite bedrooms made it perfect when we moved here with my parents in tow. The house has always felt welcoming and generous, with rooms that flow beautifully. We added a skylight on the landing to bring in even more natural light, replaced the kitchen, and updated the garden room, which has become a favourite spot to sit and enjoy the view. The living room is particularly lovely, especially in winter, with the wood burner creating a warm, cosy atmosphere. The dining room has hosted countless family celebrations and is perfectly designed for Christmas gatherings. And there is nothing quite like waking up in the bedroom to views of trees in summer and autumn or looking straight out to open fields beyond when the branches are bare in winter and early spring. The generous garden has been transformed during our time here, and truly feels like having our own private park. We have planted trees and shrubs, created a pond, and shaped parts of it into a haven for wildlife, badgers, deer, foxes and rabbits are all regular visitors. With two patios and plenty of space for barbecues and al fresco entertaining, it has also been fabulous for parties, from weddings to camping and even the church fête. The village itself is incredibly friendly, with a primary school, shop, and an active village hall hosting everything from WI, gardening club and bowls to mums and babies groups. There are wonderful walks across the fields, along the river and towards the nearby nature reserve.

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.

You're first welcomed by a spacious boot room with WC, perfectly designed for busy family life, muddy boots after countryside walks and paws returning from adventures in the surrounding fields. Beyond, over 4,100 sq ft of beautifully appointed accommodation unfolds effortlessly, with a wonderfully connected layout that allows each room to flow naturally into the next while still providing peaceful spaces to escape and unwind. At its heart lies the stunning bespoke kitchen, handcrafted by the renowned local Daventry company, Fraser James.

A full-height Butler's pantry provides excellent additional storage, completing a kitchen perfectly designed for everyday living. From the kitchen, the house flows naturally into a collection of elegant reception rooms, each with its own distinct character and purpose. Many enjoy dual or triple aspects, flooding the interiors with natural light and framing beautiful views of the gardens, the Nene Valley and the surrounding countryside. Whether you're hosting formal dinners, relaxing beside a crackling fire with a good book or curling up in one of the charming window seats, every room has been thoughtfully designed to celebrate the home's original charm. The dining room even retains the original gun room, offering another fascinating glimpse into the Manor House's past. Throughout the home, beautifully preserved fireplaces, exposed beams, sash and mullioned windows, working shutters, the magnificent original staircase and the original front door serve as constant reminders of its extraordinary heritage, while sympathetic renovations ensure the house feels warm, welcoming and effortlessly suited to modern life. Beneath the house, three substantial cellar rooms, including a fantastic wine cellar, add yet another layer to the Manor House's rich history while also offering exciting potential for conversion into additional living accommodation, subject to the necessary planning permissions and building regulations.

With plumbing and electricity already in place, it also presents an exciting opportunity to create a self-contained annexe, guest accommodation or multi-generational living space, subject to the necessary consents. Gardens & Grounds Stepping outside, the gardens become a natural extension of the home itself. Extending to approximately 0.42 acres, the private and predominantly walled gardens have been thoughtfully designed to be enjoyed throughout the seasons. Manicured lawns, mature planting, fruit trees, peaceful terraces and a charming box parterre vegetable garden create spaces for everything from children's games and summer entertaining to quiet mornings with a coffee in hand, all framed by breathtaking views across the surrounding Northamptonshire countryside. A Rich and Remarkable History With a history spanning more than 450 years, the Manor House is a home of considerable historical importance. Originally known as Manor Farm and once owned by the Abbey of Warden, it later became the birthplace of Sir Augustine Nicolls in 1559, who went on to become Lord Keeper of the Great Seal under King James I and Chancellor to the future King Charles I. Beautifully remodelled by Henry Bagley in 1694, the original date stone remains proudly displayed today as a lasting reminder of the home's rich past. Awarded Grade II* listed status in 1954, Manor House has been carefully preserved through the centuries and today offers a rare opportunity to become the next custodian of one of Northamptonshire's most remarkable historic homes.

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.

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.
