Individually designed contemporary home in a well-served village.

Enclosed by a brick wall providing exceptional privacy, this modern home is accessed via double powered wrought iron gates that open onto a generous driveway and garage. At the centre of this unique property is an open-plan living dining area with a bespoke glass-enclosed staircase, doors to the garden, and a wood-burning stove. The luxury kitchen with solid woodwork surfaces is also part of the open-plan ground floor, making it perfect for entertaining and daily living. A separate utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor. Upstairs, a large landing would make an ideal space to work from home. The principal bedroom suite boasts a dressing room and en suite. The second bedroom also benefits from an en suite, while the two remaining bedrooms share a family bathroom. The deceptively large garden wraps around the side and rear of the property, providing a spacious patio and lawn.

Within the village and walking distance, there is a wide selection of amenities, including a well-regarded primary school, two pub restaurants, a doctor's surgery, and a butcher's. A large park with tennis courts is also in the village, along with a plethora of country walks. For the active, nearby Grafham Water offers cycle routes and water sports. St. Neots, a short drive away, provides further amenities and a train station with regular services to London Kings Cross.

Seller Insight
The present owners Gerald and Liz built the house fifteen years ago. As a self-build project, Gerald was able to ensure the house was built to their exact specifications and finished to the highest standard. The house is a spacious, contemporary, chic and comfortable home and they have loved the lifestyle it has given them.

They enjoy the whole house but say a wow factor is the elegant glass stairwell in the centre of the house, whilst the open plan living area, flooded with light, is perfect for family relaxation. The wood burner ensures cosy winter warmth and in summer open the patio doors to invite the outside in. With its space and inviting ambience the house is brilliant for entertaining. The kitchen is slightly separate and is well designed for a keen cook and easy entertaining. The current owners enjoyed hosting summer al fresco meals for friends on the patio: which is when the pizza oven is put to very good use.

The four double bedrooms make the house an ideal family home. The main bedroom with its dressing room and en suite is the perfect adult sanctuary and the second en suite bedroom allows for easy guest accommodation.

The walled garden and the electric gates at the end of the driveway ensure total privacy and security. The garden is mainly laid to lawn and is a pleasing place to sit and enjoy the peace around you.
