SELLER INSIGHT

“It was the superb setting of 10 Simcoe Close which first attracted us to the property,” say the current owners. “The location offers the best of both worlds, on a no through road with stunning views over the fields as far as you can see, and excellent transport links by road and rail. Village amenities are all within 10 minutes’ maximum walking distance, amongst them fabulous public and private local schools, numerous local shops including a Coop supermarket, butcher, pharmacy and wine bar, and excellent pubs with live music. There are two railway stations within 15 minutes, with links into London in around 45 mins, as well as trunk road access to the A45, M1, and A14. Yet, Sywell country park is just a 2 minute drive or a 15 minute walk away, perfect for long walks with our dogs.”

“We fell in love with the house itself right away, too,” the owners continue, “its generously proportioned rooms offering lots of space to live, laugh, love and entertain. The family kitchen-diner is the heart of the home, and is where we spend much of our time. We also love the top terrace patio for Sun Downers on a warm summer evening, with the soft garden lights illuminating all of the mature shrubs and plants – pure heaven.” Indeed, the sunny south facing garden serves as an extension of the indoor living accommodation during the warmer months of the year. “The garden has been professionally landscaped, with a focus on low maintenance,” the owners say, “so we can simply enjoy being outside and make the most of time spent entertaining family and friends. Artificial grass has been laid and two patio areas created, one for formal dining and the second as a more relaxed chill out area. There are a number of raised planters, providing additional seating for party evenings and lush foliage for varied texture and light to please the senses*
