Seller Insight
“When we began searching for a new family home, we were set on finding something close to Hitchin for the boys’ school,” say the current owners. “But then our agent suggested we take a look at 24 West Road, Gamlingay — and from the moment we walked in, we were blown away by the incredible sense of space, both indoors and out. It was a place where our young children could truly roam and explore, and yet we were only ten minutes from the station and motorway - the perfect blend of countryside and convenience.”
“Over the last four years, we have lovingly renovated this house,” the owners continue, “transforming it room by room with the help of an interior designer who reimagined the spaces and brought our vision to life. The result is a beautifully designed home with a clean, Scandinavian feel. Our light-filled orangery, which serves as the main dining area, is one of our favourite spaces, a solid, glass-walled haven that opens onto a back patio perfect for summer gatherings. We have hosted unforgettable parties here, with neighbours, family, and friends filling the garden, enjoying the barbecue area and the endless green views.
“The garden itself is a true highlight,” say the owners, “with various distinct areas, the patio for al fresco dining, a wooded section, and lush lawns with enough space for a playground and trampoline for the children, all surrounded by mature planting and still leaving room for a greenhouse and vegetable patch. It is a place where the kids have spent hours playing, and where we have unwound on quiet evenings.”
The local area has much to offer, too. “Gamlingay is a welcoming village,” the owners say “with two charming pubs, local eateries, and endless countryside to explore. Trail running routes begin right on our doorstep, and the community is vibrant and active. We will miss the peaceful views from the master bedroom, looking out over gardens, fields, and even grazing horses. For us, this house has been a perfect sanctuary - spacious, serene, and full of life.”
