SELLER INSIGHT

The hallway opens up in front of you as you first step inside and it was this wonderful sense of space and light that made me immediately fall in love with the house. Sunshine streams through into all of the rooms downstairs and I knew we had to have it by the time we’d walked into the large kitchen / breakfast room. Even now, 18 years later, I still get that warm and welcoming feeling that greets us every time we come home,” say the owners.

“The flexibility of the space has been so helpful. We use two of the bedrooms as a cinema and a library and I think these are two of my favourite rooms. I love having all my books around me and it’s such a tranquil space where I can read curled up on my comfortable chair in peace and quiet. The cinema room is brilliant too as it has a big screen, surround sound, and recliner chairs; we enjoy watching movies in there and use it a lot, especially in winter when we’re not outside as much.”

“We moved the oil tank from its original spot in the garden which has given us a better view and a lovely space for our covered and heated gazebo where we like to sit out until late in the evening. We also re-laid and extended the patio, so it’s now a much more usable space where we can relax and entertain. I’m always pottering about in the garden as I tend to the flowers and borders that have been planted to attract wildlife, bees, and butterflies. Nature is important to me, so it’s always exciting to see birds and hedgehogs in the garden.”

“It’s become tradition for us to host Christmas and family get-togethers as there’s plenty of space for us all to be together and guest rooms with en suite facilities for overnight visitors. We’ve celebrated some big birthdays here with around 50 guests where we easily mingle throughout the house before spilling out into the garden.”

“Roxton is a safe and peaceful little village that offers beautiful countryside and riverside walks straight from our doorstep. There is a little café and Post Office, as well as a range of groups and events, including the ever-popular Flower Show that takes place in summer. St Neots, Sandy, and Bedford are handy for shopping or we can head a little further afield into Cambridge and Milton Keynes for an even wider range of restaurants, shops, and leisure activities.”*

I achieve this by creating positive rapports, based on trust and care, and combined with my attention to detail, I am confident in producing exceptional results.

With access to a network of over 300 F&C locations across the UK and worldwide, this allows me to maximise the exposure of your property, creating strong buyer competition in order to drive the sale price up to its peak. I live in Bedford and have grown up in the Bedfordshire area.
