Seller Insight

We have lived in the village for many years and this property was on a much larger scale to anything that we have had before. The huge garden and sheer size of the rooms was a big part of the attraction for us and we knew it would be a wonderful home for our family,” say the owners.

“The property is set right in the middle of the village and is surrounded by beautiful countryside where we can walk for miles along the public footpaths. The nearest town is Shefford which has a wide range of amenities including a supermarket, shops, restaurants, and pubs. Our children attended primary school here in the village where we also have a family run bakery, pub, convenience store with Post Office facilities, church, and village hall that hosts all kind of events.”

“We had the rear garden extensively landscaped to include areas for relaxing and dining. It’s fully enclosed, private, and not overlooked at all, so it’s great for parties and outdoor cinema events. We like sitting by the pond on a summer evening with a glass or two of Pimms and our claim to fame is that we featured on Liza Tarbuck’s Radio 2 show from that very spot! The firepit is an enjoyable feature and we’ve spent many nights camped outside with our children which has been a lot of fun. We repurposed the old agricultural barn at the bottom of the garden into an amazing party space with power, surround sound, cinema screen, and a well-stocked bar.”

“The property is perfect for day-to-day family life and entertaining. We host our family in the formal dining room at Christmas and it never feels crowded, even with 15 of us around the table, a high chair, and the tree! We also hosted a 50th birthday party in the garden along with over 100 guests, marquees, BBQ, and music and drinks from the barn bar. We tend to spend most of our time in the kitchen as we chat and cook together, and the lounge is a welcoming place to curl up in front of the fire. The study is ideal for working from home and we also really appreciate the primary bedroom suite with the spacious dressing room and ensuite; it’s brilliant on those early start mornings as we don’t disturb the rest of the family who are still fast asleep.”*
