Seller Insight
We knew Upwood Manor was something special before we had even reached the front door. Driving down the sweeping driveway, the sense of arrival was unforgettable. The space, the gardens, the setting and then the wonderful view of the house itself immediately captured our imagination. Having moved from London, we were struck by the scale of everything, from the grand hallway to the high ceilings and generous rooms, and the feeling that this could become an exceptional family home.

Over the years, we have lovingly transformed the property, modernising it throughout while preserving the character, elegance and proportions that first drew us here. Every room has been improved, with updated heating, plumbing, wiring, flooring and finishes, alongside a reconfigured layout that better suits modern family living. The kitchen and bathrooms have been completely replaced, and thoughtful alterations have enhanced both comfort and practicality.

The house has been the perfect setting for family life. The magnificent hallway remains one of our favourite features, creating a wonderful first impression every time we walk through the door. Equally special is the connection between the house and garden. The sitting room opens directly onto the patio, creating a seamless flow for entertaining and allowing guests to move effortlessly between indoors and out.

Outside, we have created spaces that have brought us enormous enjoyment, including a superb office and entertainment area with raised decking and a hot tub. Countless summer gatherings have been enjoyed here, while the adjoining 1.8-acre field adds a rare sense of freedom, privacy and countryside living. The sunsets, perfectly framed down the length of the garden, are simply breathtaking.

Upwood itself is a peaceful and friendly village with a welcoming pub, local schooling and excellent connections to Huntingdon, Peterborough, Cambridge and London. It offers the best of both worlds: tranquil rural living with convenient access to everything you need.

Above all, Upwood Manor has been a warm, happy and much-loved family home, filled with wonderful memories that we will cherish for years to come.
