WALNUT LODGE “When asked what we truly love about our home, we always reply: the location, the garden and the layout of the house,� say the current owners of this superb four bedroom chalet bungalow sat within 3/4 acre of orchard gardens.

We are both keen cooks and the large kitchen/breakfast room has been great for friends to sit around the island and share some drinks and nibbles while we cook.�

Seller Insight We love the openness of the house,” say the owners, “its layout being extremely flexible. During our time here, the upstairs room has been a bedroom, a study and now serves as a second TV room. Guests are housed at the opposite end of the house to the master bedroom, which is nice when family or friends stay over as they are afforded some privacy.” “We are the first house in a no through lane,” the owners continue, “a couple of hundred metres from a minor road. Surrounded by fields on all four sides it means that our country garden is not overlooked and traffic noise is non-existent. It is a very safe location for our cats, too. With a large patio and grass stretching through the mature apple trees, it has been wonderful for entertaining in the summer months and has been much enjoyed by our grandchildren for the annual family Easter Egg hunt. The garden has been very productive in terms of fruit and vegetables and our large greenhouse typically produces more tomatoes, chillies, peppers, cucumbers, etc. than we can use by ourselves. Also the large walnut tree means we have given away bags of walnuts to friends at Christmas time.” The situation of the property is quite simply fantastic, offering both beauty and convenience. “While we feel we are very much in the countryside,” say the owners, “the nearest pub lies within walking distance via a footpath at the end of the lane. The village also has a convenience store, as well as primary and secondary schools. Royston is only a few miles away with more shops, supermarkets, restaurants and a 38 minute train service to Kings Cross.”*
