SELLER INSIGHT
The pretty, conservation, village of Broughton enjoys a semi-rural location just a few minutes from Huntingdon. It is a welcoming, traditional, village and here in its centre, just next to the church, stands this beautiful, spacious, family home. Built in the 17th century, the cottage was once a local Inn in which its landlord brewed the beer. It then became a butcher’s shop until it was converted into this beautiful home. Its present owners, Brian and Michele have lived here very happily for the past 20 years.
“It was for professional reasons that we were moving, with our young family, from Cornwall to this part of the country. At such times it can be quite daunting to find the right home in a location which fulfils all requirements, particularly on essentials such as travel and education. However, Broughton, our brilliant family home, alongside its location within this lovely village have more than fulfilled all our requirements. The house had been beautifully renovated when we moved in, but we have continually maintained and enhanced our home, always respecting its history. Accommodation is generous and practical, plus having three reception rooms, each with its own character, enables family and guests to enjoy their own space. In addition, we have rooms at each end of the house, ideal for home working or quiet study.”
“Our garden is very special for us and is a haven of tranquillity. We are utterly private with an outlook to the village green and beyond to farmland. We enjoy al fresco dining and relaxation from our garden and, whatever the season, it always brings us joy.”
“Broughton has a strong community with village events taking place throughout the year, one being the bi-annual Open Garden event at which classic cars are displayed on the village green and a vintage street organ has pride of place on our driveway which is very much enjoyed by all. Broughton is also renowned for its excellent gastro pub. We have a wealth of excellent amenities close at hand with Huntingdon being where the railway station is located offering an excellent service into the capital and beyond. In addition, the local road network has been significantly upgraded and journeys to all parts of the country improved. We are also close to the market town of St Ives from which we can travel on a dedicated guided busway into the centre of Cambridge to enjoy the delights of this magnificent city.”
“We have adored our time in this fabulous home, but it has now outgrown our requirements, and it is time for our next adventure. We know that whoever decides to live at Brookside will be as happy and content as we have been.”*
