Seller Insights

“We completed the house build a year ago; it is in a secluded and quiet spot at the top of a private drive with everything within walking distance. As we are in the middle of a Conservation Area this determined the construction and design and comprises limestone and brick and has been built to a high standard throughout. We have an air source heat pump supplying underfloor heating on the ground floor and radiators on the first floor and the hot water. The house is exceptionally well insulated.

“The house is light and airy, particularly the open plan kitchen dining living room which has windows at each end and both bifold and French doors onto the garden to the side of the house. The triple aspect windows light up the room throughout the day.”

“The bedrooms are all double and three are especially spacious; the layout is very flexible with the option of one or two bedrooms downstairs. At present, as we have our daughter and granddaughter living here too, one of the bedrooms is being used as a sitting room, but equally it could be a study or home office. It works well for multi-generational living!”

“We have lived in the village for over 30 years. All three children went to the village school which is excellent with a lot of outdoor activity space, there is a good medical practice aligned with Ancaster, and both village pubs are popular for their food. There is a well run village hall, a popular social club and playing fields where our son grew up playing football and cricket, with an adjoining park with children’s playground equipment. It is a very friendly village with a diverse age range from the very young to the very old. If you have a dog, there are plenty of lovely places to walk.”
