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.

The Old Rectory, a handsome waterside Grade II* listed residence believed to date from 1813, boasts elegant period features, including high ceilings, well-proportioned rooms, sash windows, intricate cornicing, exposed floorboards, and the original kitchen range. The accommodation comprises three reception rooms, five bedrooms, and two bath/shower rooms, offering a wonderful blend of character and space. The Coach House, a charming Grade II listed property converted in 1976, provides further flexibility. It features two reception rooms, three bedrooms, and two bath/shower rooms. A rare addition is the lift access from the ground to the first floor, making it an excellent choice for accessible living. The property also benefits from two independent office spaces, ideal for working from home or creating a separate studio environment. Set within magnificent mature gardens and grounds extending to just under three acres, the property enjoys stunning riverside frontage, providing a truly idyllic setting.

The central village location further enhances its appeal, making it an ideal residence for independent, multi-generational family living. This is an exceptional opportunity to acquire two period homes in an idyllic setting, offering flexibility, charm, and scope for personalisation. Seller Insight As the fifth generation of our family to call The Old Rectory home, it is hard to put into words just how special this place is, say the current owners. Nestled in the heart of the village yet set back from the road in a wonderfully private location, this former Georgian rectory has been the backdrop to countless cherished memories. With its high ceilings, arched windows, and generous reception rooms, it has been a place of celebration, gathering, and quiet retreat. The house sits on an expansive plot, surrounded by beautifully maintained gardens that wrap around the property, the owners continue. The front lawn, once home to a grass tennis court, has hosted everything from village flower festival teas to family weddings. The rear garden extends down through the orchard to the river, where a landing stage and boathouse provide the perfect launch point for punting, rowing, and summer picnics along the water. The Wellingtonia tree, planted in the early 1850s to commemorate the Duke of Wellington, stands as a proud testament to the property's history. Inside, our favourite space has always been the drawing room, with its bay window and French doors leading out to the garden, the owners say. This is where we gathered as a family—four children, then grandchildren—to toast crumpets on the fire at Christmas; or with all of our friends and neighbours for our mother's famous Christmas parties for nearly 100 guests! The kitchen, remodelled in 2013, opens into a breakfast room and yard, linking to the boot room for practicality. Other upgrades include a full rewire in 2018 and a new lead roof on the sitting room bay window just last year. Beyond the main house, the Coach House offers independent living, thoughtfully converted by our architect uncle in 1976 and further enhanced in 2013 with a lift, an expanded kitchen-dining area, and a sitting room with French doors overlooking the river. It enjoys its own peaceful garden, making it a perfect retreat. The local area has much to recommend it, too.

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.

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 gem—a 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 beauty—sweeping 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 bustle—yet with easy access to nearby towns, city connections, and excellent schools. Additional features include a secondary driveway, garage, workshop, and store—all 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.

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.

Recently rethatched village residence where centuries of history, exquisite interior design and exceptional family living come together within beautifully established gardens approaching three-quarters of an acre. Set proudly within the heart of one of a well-served village, Bell House is a home of rare distinction. Dating back to the 16th century and occupying a commanding position on Alconbury's historic High Street, this remarkable residence effortlessly blends period grandeur with welcoming interiors. Extending to more than 3,200 sq ft, the property has been sensitively enhanced and beautifully curated, creating an elegant family home that feels every bit as impressive as its striking façade suggests. Beyond the electrically gated entrance, a generous gravel driveway leads to mature Yew hedging allows a glimpse of the enchanting garden. Mature gardens unfold around the house, creating a wonderfully private setting where established trees, colourful borders, an orchard and expansive lawns combine to provide a picturesque backdrop throughout the seasons. The large lawns and terrace provide ample space for playing children, entertaining or even a marque for large gatherings and celebrations. With open countryside beyond a brook, there is a palpable sense of peace and space that is increasingly difficult to find while being within walking distance of village amenities and easy commutes to Cambridge and London. Inside, Bell House reveals an abundance of character. Exposed timbers, original fireplaces, wide plank flooring and centuries-old architectural details provide a rich sense of heritage, while the interiors have been thoughtfully reimagined to suit modern family life which is reflected in its impressive EPC rating of D, exceptional for a property of its age and heritage. The result is a home that feels both timeless and effortlessly stylish. The principal reception rooms are beautifully proportioned and wonderfully atmospheric. The drawing room, centred around a striking period fireplace, is a welcoming retreat for winter evenings, while the elegant dining room provides the perfect setting for memorable occasions. At the heart of the home, the spectacular kitchen and breakfast room is designed for everyday living and entertaining alike. Bathed in natural light and opening directly onto the gardens, it is a space where family and friends will naturally gather, whether for relaxed weekend breakfasts, summer lunches on the terrace or festive occasions. A stunning garden room further enhances the living space, creating a seamless connection between house and garden. Framed by views across the gardens, it offers a wonderful setting for relaxing, reading, entertaining or simply enjoying the changing seasons. The bedroom accommodation is equally impressive. The principal suite is a sanctuary of calm, complete with a luxurious en-suite bathroom. Three further bedrooms, served by a further en suite and family bathroom provide exceptional flexibility for family life and visiting guests. The layout of the upstairs accommodation allows the fourth bedroom to be an elegant dressing room serving the principal bedroom, or a useful study/office space. An additional self-contained guest suite offers exciting possibilities for multigenerational living, independent guest accommodation, an au pair suite or even a private home office. Outside, the lifestyle offering is exceptional. The extensive grounds invite children to explore, families to entertain and keen gardeners to indulge their passion. Summer parties spill effortlessly onto the terrace, while quieter moments can be enjoyed beneath mature trees or amongst the orchard. From morning coffee overlooking the gardens to evenings watching the sun set across the open aspect beyond, Bell House offers a lifestyle that is as restorative as it is impressive. Despite its idyllic setting, the property remains remarkably well connected. Village amenities, schooling and countryside walks are all within easy reach, while excellent road links place Cambridge, Peterborough and London-bound rail services within convenient commuting distance. There is an active and well loved GP surgery with five resident doctors. Seller Insight Bell House captured our hearts from the moment we arrived. 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.

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.
