Here within the centre of the village, tucked away down a quiet lane stands this magnificent property which has been a much-loved home for its owners, Paul and Jude, for the past five years"The neighbouring large Georgian property had been our home for several years, plus we adore this magical, tranquil, location. Our family had flown the nest, and the opportunity arose to convert this Victorian barn. As Paul is an architect, he designed, built and transformed the barn into our brilliant new home. Of course, we utilised professional practical and expert assistance where necessary, but we were totally involved in its high specification, plus procurement of quality fixtures and fittings. We also added an upper floor and included many environmental innovations, particularly those in our, handmade, bespoke, kitchen, but all with respect and in sympathy with the unique history of the barn, whilst adding to comforts and luxuries for today's living. We spend a great deal of time in our open plan living space, which is really bright and welcoming, the space is well thought out and incorporates a kitchen, dining room and living room which has doors to the garden. There is also a separate living room with a neighbouring en suite bedroom which is perfect as an independent space for an older relative or guest.""Our gardens are utterly magical, especially our natural pond which is a haven for wildlife, including fascinating dragonflies and butterflies. We have lots of areas in which to relax and enjoy al fresco dining and which, together with indoor amenities, offers the perfect venue to welcome and share with our friends and family.""Our village does have a strong sense of community and is proud of its convenience stores, two pubs, bakery, plus a thriving village hall, alongside opportunities to enjoy sports. In addition, there is an excellent primary school with a choice of state and independent ones close by. The road and rail network are brilliant with many pretty towns and villages easy to visit. We enjoy visiting Cambridge for its beautiful architecture, museums and galleries. We combine this with a trip to the pretty town of St Ives which is where we access a dedicated bus way which takes us into the centre of Cambridge.""This is a truly magical home and is ready for new owners to enjoy life in this special location and we wish them much happiness and contentment."Village information
