Seller Insight
‘From the moment we arrived, Rose Cottage felt like a sanctuary: peaceful, light-filled and completely private,’ say the owners. ‘After relocating from Australia, we hoped to find somewhere that felt like home, and this place has given us exactly that.’

Built in 2014, Rose Cottage is an exceptional Oakwrights oak-framed home surrounded by generous landscaped grounds. Originally created by a respected local builder for their own use, it combines traditional craftsmanship with modern efficiency. ‘The oak frame is incredible,’ the owners say. ‘It has hand-carved detailing, beautiful, vaulted ceilings and exposed beams, everywhere you’re reminded this is a one-of-a-kind home.’

With around 6,000 sq ft across two connected living areas, the layout offers remarkable flexibility. ‘The multiple reception rooms, the mezzanine gallery, the dedicated study and the three sets of bifold doors have made this home perfect for family life and entertaining,’ the owners say. The formal sitting room is a favourite, featuring a reclaimed brick wall and multi-fuel stove. ‘Winter evenings here are perfect.’ But the highlight is the indoor heated pool. ‘We’ll miss it enormously,’ they admit.

The gardens are a standout feature. ‘The outdoor space is a joy, beautiful, expansive and full of life,’ the owners explain. ‘There are over a hundred trees, including those which bear fruit, and we regularly see rabbits, pheasants, birds of prey, and even a barn owl at dusk.’ The house sits 1.5m above ground level, giving far-reaching views of sunrises, sunsets and dramatic skies. Electric gates with video gate control integrated into the CCTV system lead to a gravel driveway, double garage and workshop.

Location has been a major benefit. ‘I commuted into central London and the train service was excellent,’ they say. Set back from Puddock Road behind fencing and hedging, the house offers rural tranquillity yet convenient access to St Ives, Ely, Huntingdon and Cambridge. Community has added to the appeal. ‘Our neighbours are fantastic – supportive and friendly,’ they say. ‘They’re close enough to feel connected but far enough away for complete privacy.’

‘What drew us here was the setting, the oak frame, the eco credentials and the space,’ the owners reflect. ‘We are sorry to be leaving Rose Cottage as it has given our family a wonderful lifestyle, and we hope the next owners love it as much as we have.’
