Seller Insight
“It was the village of Great Gransden that first drew us to 22 Winchfield,” say the current owners of this stunning family home in Cambridgeshire “The village has a reputation for being friendly and welcoming and was just the sort of place in which we hoped to bring up our family. We fell in love with the house itself as soon as we saw it: it is traditional in style with a Potton timber frame, yet perfectly designed for all the comforts of modern life. The house is ideal for everyday life and entertaining alike: we have hosted many large parties here, and our visitors say it is the ultimate cosy Christmas house!”

“Since moving in, we have enhanced the property further by updating the kitchen and bathrooms and replacing a tired old conservatory with a new extension to create a study and family room,” say the owners. “Now, this large living and dining space is our favourite part of the house, opening out onto the garden to enable an easy flow between indoors and out.”

“Outside, sunny patio areas are complemented by a number of shady spots beneath beautiful mature trees,” the owners continue. “Private and enclosed, the garden provides a very safe setting for children to play. The garden backs onto open fields, which is an absolute joy. Once a year, the Gransden Agricultural Show is hosted in the field directly behind our property, and it is such a privilege to feel so closely connected to such a fantastic community event.”

Indeed, the setting of the property offers the best of both worlds, being quiet and peaceful, and part of a vibrant village community. “There is a whole host of activities in the two village halls,” say the owners, “as well as a community café in the village and a friendly pub in neighbouring Little Gransden. Amenities are close at hand too, including a well-stocked local shop and Post Office and a monthly farmers’ market, with an array of shops, supermarkets, and facilities in the nearby market town of St Neots. We love the convenience of the village, which offers swift access to the historic university city of Cambridge (11 miles) for high speed rail links to London Kings Cross and Peterborough.
