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.

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.

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. Education Primary: The Newton Community Primary School (0.2 miles). Ofsted Rating: Good. Pendragon Community Primary School (2.3 miles). Ofsted Rating: Good. Secondary: Samuel Pepys School (4.9 miles). Ofsted Rating: Outstanding.

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.

Extending to approximately 2,734 sq. ft., the accommodation is both generous and flexible, lending itself equally well to busy family life or relaxed, comfortable retirement living. The Accommodation The heart of the home is a beautifully fitted kitchen/breakfast room, featuring bespoke colour-washed oak cabinetry, complementary work surfaces and space for a range style cooker — perfect for family mealtimes or leisurely weekend entertaining. The adjacent dining room continues the period aesthetic with wood effect flooring, exposed timbers and a striking inglenook feature fireplace. A particular highlight is the recently added oak framed garden room, thoughtfully designed using old stock bricks and oak framed windows, including a charming pyramid lantern with garden views. A log burning stove set on a raised hearth, solid oak flooring throughout and glazed doors opening onto a private seating area make this an inviting space for all seasons. A utility cupboard and access to the family bathroom complete this wing. The sitting room and adjoining snug offer further comfortable living space, with the snug providing access to a ground floor shower room and a staircase to an additional bedroom. This configuration lends itself naturally to use as an independent annexe — ideal for visiting family, a live-in relative, or the flexibility that modern family life so often demands. Five well-proportioned bedrooms are arranged across the first floor, including two principal bedrooms accessed via the garden room wing, both benefitting from en suite facilities. The dual aspect principal bedroom enjoys glazed double doors opening directly onto the rear garden, bringing the outside in and offering a wonderfully tranquil start to each day. Outside The property is approached via a sweeping gravel driveway, arriving at a detached double width garage with up and over door, power, eaves storage and an electric car charging point — a practical and future-conscious addition. The formal gardens, extending to approximately 2.36 acres, are a true feature of this property. Enclosed on all sides for complete privacy, the grounds are principally lawned and framed by established borders, broad leaf, coniferous and fruit trees. A pergola and brick built barbeque provide a wonderful outdoor entertaining setting, whilst a custom built greenhouse, summerhouse and garden shed cater to the keen horticulturalist. A small brook meanders through the plot, adding to the peaceful, rural atmosphere. A stable block, currently used for storage, offers exciting potential for further development or conversion, subject to the usual consents. Situation and Schooling Moggerhanger enjoys an enviable position within central Bedfordshire, approximately 2 miles from the A1 at Sandy and 15 miles from junction 13 of the M1, offering excellent connectivity without compromising on village tranquillity. The architecturally significant Moggerhanger House, designed by Sir John Soane, lies within the village itself, lending a distinctive cultural heritage to this already special setting.

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.
