" This beautifully presented home is set on a private road and offers the potential to create an annexe. Luxurious fixtures and fittings have been used throughout the light accommodation. The five double bedrooms on the first floor are well served by a family bathroom and two en suites. Outside, the is ample parking and mature landscaped gardens.

Sundown is an extremely handsome family home, that enjoys a picturesque location on the fringes of the sought-after village of Arrington. ?The house was built in 2004 by a developer and we were the first people to own it,? says the owner, ?and although it was brand new when we purchased it, I?d say that as well as the lovely setting, what also attracted us was the fact that we could see it had great potential to be enhanced further.?

?As soon as we took ownership of the property we began making changes. We extended the house at the rear, and took down the original conservatory and built a much larger really lovely new one. Not long after that, we also added a section connecting the house to the large double garage, which created a really stunning guest wing ? whenever we have friends or family to stay, everyone wants the wing! Internally, we?ve generally given the layout a much more open feel, primarily by adding bi-folds between the dining area and the living room. It?s now a large and very welcoming family home, and it?s fabulous to entertain in.?

?Even though we have extended the house quite considerably, the garden is still a really generous size,? continues the owner. ?We?ve had the space completely landscaped so there?s an open lawn with raised flowerbeds all the way around. We also have a large gazebo with fly curtains, lights and heating, so it can be used whatever the weather, a hot tub with its own gazebo, and we have a pretty breeze hut tucked away in one corner, which could be used as extra seating, but we see it mainly as a folly. All in all it?s a lovely space for relaxing and entertaining and the grandchildren love it.?

?We love the whole house, but we think that the guest wing has added something really special,? says the owner. ?It has a beautiful en suite bedroom and a gorgeous sitting room with a vaulted ceiling. We currently use it as guest accommodation, but as it has it?s own front door it could be a lovely annexe for an elderly relative or a brilliant space for something like a home treatment business.?

?In my mind the location couldn?t be better,? says the owner. ?It?s a beautiful rural setting, so very peaceful and picturesque, and yet we?re surrounded by some lovely towns and villages. Cambridge is within striking distance and Royston is just 15 minutes away, with good transport links. The house and garden are a real haven, but everything is accessible; we enjoy the best of both worlds.?

?The kitchen is another really impressive part of the house,? says the owner, ?and one that definitely has the wow factor. It has a huge island in the middle that everyone can congregate around, so it?s not only very functional, but it?s also a really sociable space.?

?We intend to downsize, so the space we have here ? both inside and out ? is something that we?ll definitely miss,? says the owner. ?However, we?ll also be sad to leave, because with all the work we have done, we have made the house exactly how we want it and it?s been a fantastic family home. We?ve raised our children here, our grandchildren have loved visiting, and we?ve had wonderful Christmases? It?s been a very happy home.?
