Seller Insight
Situated in a sought-after location in the pretty village of Great Gransden is this lovely four-bedroom Potton home, which boasts a large and extremely attractive garden. “Before moving to this house ten and a half years ago, my wife and I were living in Cambourne,” says the owner. “We’d enjoyed our time there, but over the years the village had expanded quite considerably and as a result it had become increasingly busy. We craved somewhere quieter, not totally out in the sticks, but somewhere we could enjoy peaceful countryside living. We’d actually lived in Great Gransden before moving to Cambourne, and it’s a lovely place with a little shop, a cosy pub and a fantastic sense of community. It was also very convenient for my wife who back when we moved here was commuting into London. She could drive over to St Neots, hop on the train and arrive at St Pancras in just over an hour.”
“In terms of the house itself, we loved the fact that it has all the benefits of a modern home, but all the character and charm of a period property. The layout is very open plan so there’s a lovely feeling of space, and the interior has a cottage style with oak beams, exposed brickwork and a gorgeous inglenook in the main living area. The property as a whole was in fairly good condition when we purchased it, but over time we’ve made lots of changes that have enhanced it no end. We refurbished all of the bathrooms, updated the kitchen, had new flooring laid and we also had a heat pump installed and all the windows are now double glazed so it’s much more energy efficient.”
“The house sits on around 0.2 of an acre so we have a lovely big garden that’s filled with an array of really attractive and very mature plants. We tend to have the trees trimmed back every two or three years to let in the light, but the garden is south-west facing and a real suntrap so those trees provide some lovely shady spots during the hot summer months. During our time here we’ve had a large patio installed, which is a very peaceful place where I like to sit and watch the many birds that visit the garden, as well as the red kites and buzzards that are often hovering overhead.”
“When the family come to visit everyone usually gravitates to the kitchen, but in the evening I like spending time in the lounge. It’s the room with the inglenook and open fire, and when that’s roaring away it takes on a really cosy atmosphere.”
“The house is nicely set back from the road, and to the side of the property is a big open field – where the Great Gransden Show is held every year – so we’ve always enjoyed a good degree of privacy and the outlook from the back of the house is wonderfully leafy and green. However, it only takes around ten minutes to drive into St Neots, and there you can find just about everything you might want or need.”
“We have two dogs and the surrounding countryside is a wonderful place to take them on long walks. However, when it’s raining they tend to get quite muddy so we decided to have a dog shower installed in the utility room, and I must say it’s been an absolute godsend.”
“I’ll be sad to leave the house, it’s been a lovely home, but it’s the village and all of the friends we made during our time here that I’ll miss most,” says the owner.
