24 Winchfield is an impressive Potton Timber family home in the charming village of Great Gransden. The present owner explains that after viewing the property it was an easy decision to buy. “The house had an attractive and inviting exterior and sits in a quiet cul de sac, within walking distance of village facilities and primary school. Once inside, the light filled rooms had a welcoming and sociable ambience. It has been a lovely house to live in.”

Great Gransden is a pleasant and community minded village, with The Gransdens Society organising a monthly programme of talks and events. The Annual Show attracts visitors from around the area, and neighbouring Little Gransden holds a prestigious air show. The village has a post office and shop, but historic Cambridge is only a half an hour’s drive for wider cultural, retail and work opportunities. The surrounding countryside has many walks and the local woodlands are a pleasure to wander through every season.

“The nearby A1, A14 and M11 provide links to national motorways and the train station in St Neots, only seven miles away, with a fast and frequent train service into London Kings Cross. Great Gransden is a tranquil village to return to after a hectic working day.”

The house seamlessly combines pleasing character features with streamlined modern living. The owner has loved the sitting room with its large, warm brick inglenook fireplace and beams. “There is nowhere better to be on a winter’s evening than settled before the warmth of the wood burning stove. It is a most favourite room that enables both total relaxation and entertaining.”

“The largely open plan nature of the ground floor creates a sociable centre perfect for family living.
The kitchen is well equipped for the serious cook who can chat to anyone at the kitchen table, and it is ideal for informal kitchen suppers. The dining room is perfect for more formal entertaining. The soft greens of the garden make a lovely backdrop to the room.”

“The garden wraps itself around the house and allows you to follow the sun throughout the day. The patio is a wonderful summer al fresco dining room, and to sit on the lawn surrounded by the beauty of the mature trees and shrubbery is to own a personal oasis of calm.”

The owner has loved this quirky and captivating house that provides an appealing life style. “It is also going to be hard to leave the village and all that offers, but happy memories are some consolation.”
