Seller Insight
Pipers Cottage enjoys an enviable location in Church Walk in Little Gransden village. The Walk is a tranquil leafy lane, with only seven houses, that leads down to the village church. It is a quintessential English village setting that has remained unchanged for centuries.
The present owner immediately fell in love with the chocolate box appearance of the large white thatched cottage and explains that the oldest part of the cottage dates from the mid-eighteenth century with four extensions. The house is full of character and great charm, where a walk from one end of the house to the other is a walk through history.
When the cottage was purchased, it needed some care and attention, and over seven years has been completely renovated, with constant care taken to preserve the original features. A vaulted ceiling was added to the kitchen, the inglenook fireplace was restored, a new bathroom was installed, and two rooms became one small annexe which is used as a day room but with an ensuite can be a further bedroom if needed.
The whole house is appreciated as a most inviting and sociable area. The well-equipped kitchen is a fantastic daily hub, where the vaulted ceiling and skylights flood the room with natural light creating a positive and pleasing ambience. The large dining room has an open fire which adds interest and, when lit, adds a cosy and appealing setting for festive meals. The lounge is in the earliest part of the house, where the six-foot inglenook gives the room a definite wow factor. It is the perfect, serene setting for destressing after a working day.
The large, private and bird-busy garden is laid to lawn and is a blank canvas for the next owners. It is a most pretty setting and it has been a pleasure to enjoy al fresco meals on the patio outside the Day Room with the garden before you or open the doors to the room and invite the garden in.
Little Gransden and its neighbour Great Gransden are both friendly and active villages. You can walk to the local pub from the house, and the Great Gransden village shop is a mile away. The area abounds in bridle pathways and the local woods are well known for their annual bluebell displays. Gamlingay, with a primary school, is three miles away and there is easy access to Cambridge, St Neots, Biggleswade and Sandy, which all have good rail services into London. The owner says Pipers Cottage has given a unique and superb life style in a lovely setting. It has been a great privilege to be a part of its long history.
