Seller Insight
"It was the ultra modern design, set in a private, semi rural, and peaceful location with excellent rail and road links, that won us over," say the owners of this eco friendly home. "The stunning views across the fields and out towards St Neots sealed the deal."
Since moving in four years ago, the owners have made several thoughtful upgrades. "Built in the style of a Huf House and based on Kingspan designs, we loved the home as it was and didn t need to change much. However, we added an Okopod garden room with solar panels and full air conditioning, which we ve set up as a home gym." Enjoying time outdoors, they add, "We also recently landscaped the front and rear gardens to make the most of the space. The garden is now fully child and dog proofed, with plenty of room for entertaining."
Outside, the substantial, south facing gardens are easy to maintain and largely laid to lawn, with mature trees adding to its charm. The rear garden is bordered by fields on two sides, with a beautiful line of trees creating the most stunning outlook. Whatever the weather, you feel connected to nature watching the sunset from the raised decking area is a real joy.
