Seller Insight
“When we first saw 2 Stow Road, it was little more than a derelict shell, a centuries-old building with a crumbling barn attached,” say the current owners. “But we saw beyond that. We saw a chance to create a home, raise our family, and run a small business in a beautiful Cambridgeshire village. Indeed, it was the barn that first caught our attention, offering extensive space to grow our business.

Over the years, we have lovingly restored and refurbished the 300-year-old house itself with the help of an architect. We rewired it, reroofed it, and added damp proofing, all while carefully preserving its unique charm. Indeed, the house has since been Grade II listed.”

“Each room has its own character, and we have grown into the space as a family,” the owners continue. “With three bedrooms, two lounges, and our favourite space, the dining and sitting room, joined by a small partition — the house has been a warm, welcoming hub for family gatherings, especially at Christmas. There is nothing quite like dozing off by the fire after a big meal, surrounded by the people we love. The kitchen overlooks the garden, where we have grown vegetables, blackcurrants, redcurrants, and rhubarb year after year. We also have three varieties of apple trees, along with a plum and a pear tree, all of which have brought us years of enjoyment and an abundance of delicious fruit. The greenhouse keeps us stocked with tomatoes, and there is plenty of space for outdoor entertaining. The driveway offers generous parking and a garage, ideal for family life.”

The local area has much to offer, too. “Spaldwick has been the perfect village for us,” the owners say, “with friendly neighbours, a great pub, school and access to an excellent GP surgery in nearby Kimbolton, and easy access to the wider countryside. Our children played safely here, joined community events, and went on to great schools nearby. Now it is time for the next family to fall in love with the home we have created here. For those looking for a house with soul, history, and room to grow, 2 Stow Road is the perfect place.”
