SELLER INSIGHT

The size of the plot was definitely a huge selling point when we initially came across it, but one of the main factors that motivated us to buy it and develop it was the location; we knew it would be a fantastic place to build a family home.” says the developer. “The lane itself is very quiet, and all around there’s virtually nothing but rolling countryside so it feels very rural. However, Gamlingay, which is a lovely village with a good array of shops and amenities –including a well-regarded primary school – is only a stone’s throw away; it takes just twenty minutes to drive into St Neots, and the house is equidistant between Bedford and Cambridge, so everything the new owners could possibly want or need will be very close at hand. It’s also a great spot for a commuter. You can hop on the train at St Neots and arrive in London in under an hour.”

“In terms of the bungalow itself, the design brief we gave ourselves was to build a spacious and bright eco-friendly family home that would be conducive to both busy family life and entertaining, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results of all of our hard work. It has been constructed to an incredibly high standard and we’ve installed an air source heat pump, which powers the underfloor heating, making it much more energy efficient than a standard new-build home. We’ve also added top-of-the range fixtures and fittings so not only does it look absolutely stunning throughout, but it’s also been built to last. And in terms of the layout, we decided to create a sense of separation between the living areas and bedrooms, which works much better, particularly for those with young children. We’ve also added a room that could be anything from a home office or playroom to another bedroom, essentially a room that can be adapted and changed depending on the needs of the family.”

“One of the things that initially drew us to this plot of land was its size, which has enabled us to build a very spacious bungalow but still retain a really goodsize garden – we also loved the fact that it backs onto a field that’s often home to donkeys! Beyond the bi-fold doors that lead from both the lounge on one end of the bungalow and the principal bedroom on the other, we’ve laid a huge patio, and then the rest of the space is laid to lawn. The garden has been left as a blank canvass so that the new owners can decided how they want to use it and then put their own stamp on it.”

“There are so many things that set this property apart from others: the fantastic location, which offers the best of both worlds; the lovely big garden, and also the care and attention to detail that has gone into every aspect of its design and build. We’ve absolutely no doubt that the new owners will love everything about it.”*
