What the Owners Say

This property has truly been a labour of love for us. When we started construction, we meticulously planned every last detail and are incredibly proud of the fabulous family home we have created. Having the railway station so close by has provided us with a seamless commute into London or Cambridge, and when we were regularly competing with our horses, it was incredibly convenient to have the A120 and M11 within a five-minute drive away. Sadly, our horses are no longer with us, so we have decided to relocate to a property with less land.
