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 doesnt 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.

House Huntingdon (United Kingdom)
Ideally located within easy reach of major road and rail services and conveniently situated for the Guided Bus service to central Cambridge, this immaculately presented executive home is set within a plot of approx. 0.55 acres and has a mature south west facing rear garden. A brick wall with double timber gates opens onto the gravel driveway which offers ample parking and access to the double garage with a shower room and an office with kitchenette above. Stepping inside, the accommodation is beautifully presented throughout and includes three reception rooms and a brick feature fireplace with log burner to the dining room. French doors from the dining room and a single door from the sitting room provides access to a cosy covered outdoor seating area. The kitchen breakfast living room has a central island, brick fireplace with wood burner, a spacious dining area for casual family dining and a comfortable seating area with French doors opening out to the rear garden. A utility room with access to the garden and a cloakroom/shower room completes the ground floor. Upstairs, the principal bedroom benefits from both a Juliet balcony which overlooks the rear garden and an elegant en-suite shower room. The second and third bedrooms are spacious double rooms with dual aspect windows each with en-suites. Bedrooms four and five are also double rooms and share a family bathroom. A balcony, accessed off the landing, is an ideal place to read or to enjoy a quiet morning coffee. To the front, a brick wall lined with mature hedging and trees provides a high level of privacy to the home and front garden. 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 Insight It 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. It's a wonderful walk or cycle along the river into town or St Ives and Cambridge.

House Huntingdon (United Kingdom)
Beautifully refurbished to an exceptional standard, this substantial town house is ideally situated within a ten-minute cycle of the train station and just a short walk from an excellent range of local amenities, including restaurants, pubs and independent shops. Blending period charm with stylish contemporary finishes, this impressive home extends to over 2,000 sq ft of versatile family accommodation and retains a wealth of original features that celebrate its rich heritage. The current owners have thoughtfully transformed the property throughout, creating a home that is both elegant and perfectly suited to modern family living. At the heart of the house is the outstanding kitchen/breakfast room, beautifully designed with bespoke cabinetry, quality integrated appliances and striking bi-fold doors that open directly onto the courtyard garden. Bathed in natural light, this exceptional space provides the perfect setting for everyday family life and entertaining. The ground floor also features an impressive family/dining room extending to more than 33 feet in length, a cosy sitting room with fireplace, a study and a cloakroom. Arranged over three floors, the well-balanced accommodation includes five generously proportioned bedrooms, complemented by beautifully appointed en suite and family bathrooms, offering excellent flexibility for growing families, guests or those working from home. Outside, the private courtyard garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to make the most of both the available space and sunshine, creating a secluded and low-maintenance outdoor retreat with areas for dining, entertaining and relaxation. A garage and separate workshop provide valuable storage and additional practical space. Properties of this calibre rarely become available in such a desirable central location. 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.

House with garden and terrace St. Neots (United Kingdom)
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.

With its high ceilings, arched windows, and generous reception rooms, it has been a place of celebration, gathering, and quiet retreat.

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 familyfour children, then grandchildrento 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.

The limestone and cherry wood floors, the bespoke curved walls, the stunning principal suite with its incredible dressing room and private balcony, the cinema room, reading snug and generous entertaining spaces all combine to create a home with real personality and presence. We have invested significantly during our ownership, creating a spectacular outdoor kitchen and entertaining area complete with bar, fire pit and seating, as well as extending the pond into the beautiful koi feature that has become the heart of the garden. Watching the koi glide through the water from the living room, terrace or kitchen is endlessly calming and one of the things we will miss most. The house has been the backdrop to countless celebrations with family and friends. The open-plan kitchen, dining and living space flows effortlessly onto the terraces through bifold doors, making indoor and outdoor entertaining feel seamless. The cinema room, complete with its wood-burning stove, has hosted everything from family movie nights to major sporting occasions, while the games room in the annexe has provided the perfect space for guests of all ages. Our favourite place is undoubtedly the principal suite. Enjoying a quiet coffee and fresh pastries on the balcony while overlooking the gardens on a Sunday morning feels wonderfully peaceful. The dressing room is a dream, and the luxurious en-suite creates a true retreat from the rest of the world. Rowan House has given us everything: space to entertain, space to work, space to relax and space to grow as a family. With excellent schools nearby, strong transport links and a welcoming village community, it has been an exceptional place to call home. Leaving will be incredibly difficult, but we hope the next owners will love it as much as we have.

House 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.

Seller Insight Viola has been our home since 2012, and from the very beginning, it's been something truly special. We built this house ourselves with a dream of creating the perfect family home, and over the years, it has become exactly that and more. What first drew us here was the location. As you turn down the private road, there's an immediate sense of calm, it feels like stepping into another world, far removed from the noise and busyness of everyday life. That feeling has never faded. Because we built the house, we were able to create a space that perfectly balances family living with entertaining.

There's plenty of space for everyone, so it never feels crowded- just warm and welcoming. The community here is something quite rare. It's quiet and private, yet always supportive when it matters, it's a lovely balance of seclusion and connection that's hard to find. What we'll miss most is the love, care, and thought that went into building this home. It's more than just a house to us - it's been a huge part of our lives, and leaving it won't be easy.

House 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. Weve 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, weve lovingly modernised the cottage while staying true to its history and character. One thing were especially proud of is how bright and airy weve 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. Its incredibly private, with open fields behind and tall trees surrounding it, making it feel calm and secluded. Theres 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. Its 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 theres 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 Ill miss most about Clematis Cottage is the garden and the life weve built around it. My workshop is out there, and its been my little haven for creativity and peace. Weve also been lucky to have such wonderful neighbours, and its 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.
