OverviewSet in an unusually large, ⅔ acre site in an attractive shore side position enjoying magnificent views across the Sound of Papa to the island of Papa Stour, ‘Hestviken’ is a very spacious, five bedroom detached family home with an integral garage on the ‘sunny’ west side of Shetland. Lerwick approximately 33 miles.In addition to the five bedrooms the 2,380ft² (221m²) accommodation also includes a substantial, 27’ x 17’ living / snooker room complete with full-sized snooker table, a large kitchen / dining room, further living / family room, two bath / shower rooms, a small painting room and useful box room with computer space. An oil-fired boiler provides central heating with under-floor heating to the ground floor and radiators upstairs.The integral garage has an electric garage door and there is plenty of outside space which stretches down to just above the shore, offering potential to grow your own, keep poultry etc.The large snooker room could potentially be sub-divided to create a suite of rooms for a dependent relative (it has a bedroom and small room with water supply off it) and planning permission has in the past been granted for a large sun room extension.General Information‘Hestviken’ is situated off the Huxter side road in the scattered settlement of Sandness on the sunny, west side of Shetland approximately 33 miles from Lerwick.Local amenities in the area include a primary school and local hall, and there is also a woolen mill, a fine beach at Melby, and historic water mills at Huxter. A coastal path runs along the shore below the house providing pleasant walks.Additional amenities are available at Walls, approximately 9 miles to the south, where there is another primary school, a local shop / post office with fuel, health centre and swimming pool for private hire, and also at Bixter (13 miles) / Aith (16 miles) back towards Lerwick, Bixter having another shop again with fuel, health centre, veterinary surgery & garage, Aith being the location for the Westside’s Junior High School (secondary education to year 4) and leisure centre / swimming pool.Further information about the west side area of Shetland can be found at:-Completed in 2010, this timber frame / blockwork clad property benefits from storm resistant uPVC double glazed windows and doors, and oil-fired central heating provided by a high efficiency ‘Warmflow’ condensing boiler in the utility area off the entrance lobby which provides individually zoned under-floor heating throughout the ground floor, and radiators to the first floor.A particular feature of the property is the large amount of built-in cupboard space, including to four of the bedrooms, in both bath / shower rooms, and on the landing.Planning permission was granted in 2019 for the erection of the large sun room extension on the north-west corner of the house accessed via double doors from the dining area of the kitchen. This would add a further 38 square metres living space to the property. This permission has now lapsed but reinstatement would not be expected to be a problem but prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves in this regard by contacting the local council directly. Full details of the permission can be found on Shetland Island Council’s website (search 2018/304) at:-The existing ground floor layout includes a sizeable living / snooker room with a ground floor double bedroom and small painting room with water supply off it (adjacent to the family bathroom). These rooms could therefore potentially be altered to provide a suite of rooms for a dependent relative perhaps (the painting room becoming a bath / shower room, the main living space being sub-divided to form two living rooms), or perhaps holiday accommodation for letting out. Any alterations would however be subject to any necessary consents required and prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves in this regard.AccommodationEntry to the house is via a wooden porch which provides shelter from the weather and leads to a lobby with tile effect vinyl flooring and a half-glazed door to the hall, double doors to the left opening to a handy walk-in utility space (approx. 1.5m x 1.45m) (5’ x 4’8”) with worktop with space below for a washing machine (appliance not included).

Next to the bathroom is the impressive snooker room, a huge 27’ x 17’ space with full size snooker table included, two windows enjoying the fine sea view north across to Papa Stour, a third window also enjoying a great view this time to the east. Two large built-in cupboards at one end provide extensive storage space. Off this room is a small south-facing painting room with sink unit and an east-facing, carpeted double bedroom again enjoying the view east, with built-in double bed (mattress not included) with fitted cupboards to either side.Back off the hall, is the kitchen / dining room, a very bright, spacious room benefiting from three windows enjoying the superb view across the sound to Papa Stour, plus a fourth window to the west.

OverviewSet in around 0.9 acres in a prominent position overlooking the beach, and enjoying spectacular sea views eastwards to Muckle Roe and up the north mainland coast as far as Eshaness to the north, and across to Papa Stour, ‘Melby House’ is a stunning, renovated Haa house offering beautifully presented six bedroom accommodation with all the comforts of a modern home within a traditional exterior. Lerwick 30 miles.Dating from around 1800, although recently remodeled internally, this grade ‘B’ listed, detached property offers substantial family accommodation arranged over three floors, including, in addition to six large double bedrooms (five en-suite), a stunning main sittingroom, a beautifully fitted breakfasting kitchen with ‘aga’, separate hall / living room, bathroom, cloakroom / WC, office and utility / laundry room.The large site includes garden areas to the front and the rear, plenty of parking, a large shed / workshop, plus additional space offering scope for possible further development, perhaps some self-catering pods, or a polytunnel, subject to any necessary consents.If not used as a spacious family home, as most of the bedrooms have en-suites (the remaining bedroom has plumbing in place for an en-suite), the property has obvious guest house / B & B potential offering tourist accommodation in this beautiful setting.General Information‘Melby House’ is situated in an idyllic rural setting at Sandness in the West Mainland of Shetland, the ‘sunny’ westside, at the end of the Melby side road just above Melby’s fine, long and sandy beach where seals and otters can be seen, and across the Sound of Papa from the island of Papa Stour.Sandness is a quite scattered crofting community in an area boasting stunning coastal scenery and walks. Amenities in the immediate area itself include a primary school and village hall, further amenities being available at Walls (approximately 8 miles) where there is a local shop / post office with fuel, another primary school with swimming pool for private hire, and a health centre, or at Bixter (approximately 13 miles back towards Lerwick), another shop, again with fuel, another health centre, vet’s surgery & garage. The West Mainland Junior High School and leisure centre / swimming pool are situated at Aith just three miles north of Bixter.Further information about the westside area of Shetland can be found at:-Melby house is a traditional Shetland Haa house, a former laird’s house, understood to have been built around 1800, the seat of the Scotts of Melby until 1985.This stone-built property is grade ‘B’ listed. It is understood that the roof was re-slated in the early 2000’s, since then the current owners, who acquired the property in 2008, have carried out an extensive renovation project which has effectively created a ‘new build’ property within the traditional exterior, resulting in a property of immense character yet still benefiting from all the comforts of a modern home including double glazing, all windows being conservation style sash & case units, and central heating provided by an electric ‘Gabarron’ boiler housed in a built-in cupboard in the main bathroom which also houses the ‘Megaflo’ hot water tank. A solid-fuel stove in the main sittingroom provides a cosy alternative heat source. A modern extension replaced a previous extension to the south side of the house, adding a utility / laundry room, office and cloakroom.Internally the house has been finished with considerable flair, the interior, though new, retaining a ‘period’ feel throughout. Much of the ground floor has been laid with hardwearing ‘Karndean’ flooring, including the decorative floor in the front porch.The sale will include all carpets and other fixed floor coverings, the curtains and blinds, and light fittings.AccommodationThe formal access to the property is from the roadside to the east, gates opening to a brick paved path flanked by lawns to either side surrounded by established planting and stone dykes, leading to a porch with decorative flooring and a window enjoying the fine view out to the sea. A glazed inner door leads to a striking, generously proportioned, open-plan hall / additional living area, the recessed ceiling being a distinctive feature, and the window, like the porch, again enjoying the sea view.Solid oak doors from the hall lead to an east-facing double bedroom (bedroom 2) to the right, ahead to a lobby leading to the kitchen and another bedroom, and to the accommodation in the side extension to the left. A carpeted stair with oak bannister, and period style paneling below concealing a small under stairs cupboard, leads up to the first floor. The east-facing bedroom (to the right) will be lined out prior to sale, and plumbing and drainage connections are already in place allowing for the installation of an en-suite if required.The lobby to the rear has doors to the kitchen, a lovely family bathroom, the second ground floor bedroom, and a stair up to the main sittingroom. A built-in cupboard provides storage. The breakfasting kitchen is a fabulous double height space, the substantial glazed area to the south-facing roof flooding the room and also the main sittingroom upstairs which overlooks it, with natural light, additional light coming from two south-facing windows both with window seats below. The room is attractively fitted with units which provide extensive cupboard and worktop space beautifully finished with cornices and other detailing. The four oven electric ‘aga’ range (it also has two gas hobs) housed in a recess with tiled splash back is included in the sale along with the ‘American’ style fridge / freezer which also incorporates a wine chiller and is housed in a floor-to-ceiling run of fitted units to the wall opposite. A matching island breakfast bar unit with solid granite worktop provides additional storage. Also separate integral oven, concealed dishwasher & ‘Franke’ 1½ bowl sink.Next to the kitchen, is a family bathroom, attractively finished with painted paneling below a dado rail, the room including a white suite with double ended bath with centre mixer tap / shower fitting, plus a WC and wash hand basin with large wall mirror behind. The bath / shower rooms in the property generally have ‘period’ style fittings in keeping with the original style of the property, the showers mostly having ‘rainfall’ shower heads and separate hand held fittings. A built-in airing cupboard houses the central heating boiler and water tank. Next to the bathroom is a spacious, rear-facing, carpeted double bedroom with built-in wardrobe and a well-appointed en-suite with large shower, WC & wash hand basin, the arched window being an interesting feature.The stair up from the lobby outside the kitchen leads to the stunning main sittingroom which overlooks the kitchen, a very generously proportioned carpeted space, again with lots of natural light, as in addition to the large roof glazing over the kitchen, there is a substantial picture window with upholstered window seat below to the north which enjoys fantastic views to Papa Stour. The impressive fireplace surround houses a solid-fuel stove. Again like the main hall, the ceiling features recessed panels with perimeter spotlighting providing an abundance of artificial light.A second door leads from the kitchen to a large utility / laundry room in the side extension which has further fitted cupboard space including an inset circular bowl sink and plumbing for a washing machine (appliances included) plus a separate unit with an electric induction hob, and plenty of space for a freezer or other appliance. The utility room can also be accessed via the large lobby with attractive black and white tile effect vinyl flooring which runs from the main hall / living space to a second entrance door to the south, the lobby also providing access to a handy office with fitted desk and window again enjoying the view to the sea, a great home working space, plus a beautifully decorated cloakroom with white WC and wash hand basin set on a fitted cupboard unit.Back off the main hall, the carpeted main stair leads up to a first floor landing lit by an east-facing window overlooking the front garden, with doors to two large en-suite double bedrooms, and a handy built-in cupboard. Bedroom 3 to the right is a stylish, dual-aspect room with windows to the south and east, and a lovely en-suite with ‘metro’ style wet wall lined shower enclosure, and a ‘period’ style WC and wash hand basin with mirror with wall lights at either side, over. The chandelier light fitting in the bedroom will remain. The second first floor bedroom also benefits from the fine view east, and again, a beautifully decorated en-suite.Finally the stair continues up to the second (top) floor where there are two further double bedrooms, both a good-size and en-suite, bedroom five ahead having Velux windows to the front and rear plus a further small window to the gable wall. The en-suite to the second room (bedroom six) has a WC & wash hand basin.Rooms Sizes (All approximate)On the Ground Floor:-Main Hall / Living Area4.3m x 7.4m overall at longest point (14’ x 24’4”)Kitchen5.25m x 4.55m (17’3” x 14’10”)Bedroom 13.75m x 3.2m (12'4” x 10’7”)En-Suite Shower Room1.7m x 3.25m at longest point (5’10” x 10’8”)Bathroom2.85m x 2.75m at widest points including cupboard (9’4” x 9’)Bedroom 24.3m x 3.2m (14’2” x 10’6”)Utility / Laundry Room4.4m x 2.25m (14’4” x 7’5”)Office2.6m x 1.25m (8’7” x 4’2”)Cloakroom1.65m x 1.25m (5’6” x 4’2”)Front Porch2.55m x 2.2m (8’4” x 7’3”)On the First Floor:-Main Sittingroom5.15m x 7.2m at longest point (floor area) (23’8” x 16’10”)Bedroom 34.35m x 4m at widest points including en-suite (14’3” x 13’2”)En-Suite Shower Room1.75m x 1.65m (5’10” x 5’5”)Bedroom 44.35m x 3.1m at widest points (14’3” x 10’2”)En-Suite Shower Room2.35m x 1.1m (7’8” x 3’8”)On the Second Floor:-Bedroom 54.35m x 3.95m (floor area) (14’4” x 13')En-Suite Shower Room2.1m x 1.8m (floor area) (6’10” x 5’10”)Bedroom 64.35m x 3.1m at widest points (floor area) (14’4” x 10’3”)En-Suite1.8m x 1.2m (floor area) (5’10” x 3’10”)ExternalAs noted the property sits in a large site estimated to extend to around just under 0.9 acres or thereby, much of it enclosed by stone dykes. The more ‘formal’ garden areas are situated to the front and rear of the house, the front garden being as described with brick paved path flanked by lawns either side leading to the front door. There is a substantial parking area to the south side of the house, steps from here leading up to a large lawned area, and an additional lawn / drying green immediately behind the house.To the north side of the house is a greenhouse (approx. 3.5m x 3.15m (11’5” x 10’3”)), with power supply, a great space for a hot tub, a sheltered decked seating area with views to the sea, and a pergola leading to a large walled enclosure to the north.By the parking area is a detached shed / workshop (approx. 4.5m x 2.7m (14’9” x 8’10”)), again with a power supply. Also included is the grassed area between the parking area and the roadside.Any development of the remainder of the site would be subject to obtaining any necessary consents and prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves in this regard.Council TaxUnderstood to currently be Band D.

Overview‘Wick House’ is a stunning, modern, and unique property set in a spectacular, 1.8 acre site, tree-lined setting, enjoying a fine view to the Bay of Gulberwick in the distance.Built in large part to the owners’ design and specification in 1990, the property provides spacious, five bedroom family accommodation of around 225m² (excluding integral garage and loft) arranged over two floors, and centred on a large entrance hall and conservatory from which one can enjoy the garden and the view beyond.The house contains many unusual features, including a spiral staircase of Brazilian mahogany, an oak-lined study, bespoke solid wood fitted kitchen and a large fireplace surround of Ronas Hill granite.A 30m² loft room over the integral double garage may have potential for upgrading to further accommodation, perhaps for dependent, letting, etc. (subject to consents). The very extensive garden contains a wide variety of trees and shrubs, and includes a lovely small meandering woodland walk along the burn of Wick which runs through the site.This is a spectacular, highly desirable property in an outstanding unique setting, and viewing is essential.General InformationWick House is situated in the popular area of Gulberwick, mainly rural yet only a few minutes’ drive from Lerwick’s many modern amenities, including schools (with available transport), supermarkets, hospital and large leisure centre / swimming pool complex. There is also a local hall, a church, and a beach, all a short walk away.Built for the current owners in 1990, and designed to a high specification in conjunction with well-known local architect Alan McKay, a double garage with large loft space was added in 1996. It is of ‘Scandinavian’ style timber-frame, timber-clad construction below a concrete-tiled roof, the gross internal floor area extending to around 225m² plus 46m² garage and 30m² loft area above.The house is fully insulated, double-glazed, and heated by electric panel heaters. Its south-east facing orientation and conservatory are key features. Heat generated naturally by sunlight in the conservatory is directed throughout the rest of the house by opening screens and doors, and makes a substantial contribution to reducing electricity bills.The loft above the garage has been used as office, hobby and storage space, but could potentially be converted into separate living quarters, accessed privately from outside or through the house itself (subject to consents).The sale will include all carpets and other fitted floor coverings, light fittings and some built-in furniture. Some additional furniture may be available by separate negotiation.AccommodationAccess to the property is from a large decorative gravel parking / turning area to the rear of the house, via a sheltered paved area leading to a recessed front door, flanked by windows to either side. This opens into a large, bright and impressive hall, lit naturally by a double-height window through to the conservatory. The feature mahogany spiral staircase matches mahogany doors and finishings, which contrast with the light laminate flooring. To the right is the generously-proportioned, fully carpeted sittingroom, featuring a stone fireplace surround and large windows overlooking the garden and west side. The fireplace and internal chimney are as originally built, but the fire has not been used for many years and the external chimney stack itself removed (although relatively straightforward to return to use again). Adjacent to the living room is the carpeted study, with walls and shelving made of bespoke oak panelling and finishings, as is the large built-in desk.A glass door leads from the sittingroom into the wood-lined integral conservatory, undoubtedly the central feature of the house. The roof is almost entirely of glass, rising up to double height at the inner side. Architecturally successful, it links all the main living areas of the house. Substantial roof beams allow hanging baskets of flowers to complement those on the generous window shelves. The floor has underfloor insulation, with concrete over, and is finished in terracotta tiles. An external glass door leads to the front patio area.Another glass door on the other side of the conservatory allows access into the kitchen, a larger, bright open space incorporating a small sitting area and a good-sized dining area. The distinctive kitchen units and worktops are of maple and mahogany, and include an inset 1½ bowl sink, integral electric oven and gas hob (set in its own tiled, lowered section) plus dishwasher and fridge-freezer – all included in the sale. The dining area features bench seating below an east-facing window, which enjoys a delightful view of the secluded, tree-lined garden. A built-in shelved pantry provides further storage. Laminate flooring is laid to the kitchen / dining areas. A further door allows access to the main internal corridor.Between the kitchen and hall, a short passage leads to a good-sized cloakroom alcove and a toilet with WC and wash-hand basin (with instant hot water). Also off the corridor is a utility room, with further fitted cupboard space, and sink (also with instant hot water) with clothes pulley over, plumbing for a washing machine and space for a tumble dryer. (Appliances not included in the sale, but may be discussed separately) A built-in cupboard provides additional storage, and houses the electric meters. An external door leads to outside sitting areas in a back garden, with provision for a clothes line.Finally at the end of the passage is the door to a large integral double garage with twin “up-and-over”, electrically operated, garage doors. Two double-glazed windows provide light, and at the rear is a substantial workbench with vice, extensive shelving, power and lighting. A fixed ladder stair leads up to the large floored, insulated, decorated and carpeted “loft” room, with two opening Velux roof windows, built-in storage space in the eaves, panel heating, lighting, mains power sockets and even a telephone point. The carpeted space measures approx. 6.6m x 4.8m, over 30m².Back in the main accommodation, upstairs the carpeted landing, which overlooks the conservatory and allows views out to the sea, gives on to short corridors leading to the bedrooms, bathroom etc. The sw corridor leads to two large double bedrooms and the family bathroom. One bedroom faces the sea with a fine view, is floored with laminate, contains a large eaves cupboard, and has a rather modern feel. The other is extensively finished in pine, as is the built-in bed, and has an arched window with window seat and underneath storage, looking out over fields. In between these is the spacious family bathroom, comprising bath, WC, wash hand basin, heated towel rail and separate shower enclosure with electric shower. The WC and bath are built-in with extensive green tiling surround, and an enormous mirror occupies most of the wall space behind the bath. There is an opening Velux roof light, and tile effect vinyl flooring.The ne corridor leads to a further double bedroom at the back, fully carpeted, with one wall comprising a complete row or wardrobes and drawer units in pine. An arched window, with window seat, looks out over the back garden. The main, front-facing bedroom has dual aspect windows, one facing the sea with the best view in the house, the other overlooking the back garden. Sliding mirror doors conceal a built-in double wardrobe with further clothes space provided by a walk-in cupboard in the eaves opposite. The bed and all finishings are in cherry. Off is a modestly sized en-suite shower room, extensively tiled, with electric shower, WC and wash hand basin with built-in storage below.Between the two wings, opposite the stair, is a small carpeted room suitable as a child’s bedroom, again with arched window and window seat. It is presently used as a hobby room, with desk, drawer unit and extensive shelving, and a door allowing access to an airing cupboard housing the ‘Megaflo’ hot water tank.All upstairs accommodation features coombs, but the height is such that there is very little practical intrusion into the otherwise full-width floor space. Wardrobes in the bedrooms have been altered or made to fit neatly into the coombs, to make the most of the space available, and are all included in the sale.Room Sizes (All approximate)The main ground floor living rooms and hall feature angled walls, to accommodate the staircase, allow easy access to the conservatory, and also for architectural interest. However, that makes it less easy to state simply the dimensions of these rooms, and the following are approximate or average dimensions in these cases.On the Ground Floor:-Living Room 5.15m x 5mConservatory 4.2m x 3mKitchen / Dining Room 5.85m x 4.5mStudy 4.45m x 3.15mHall 5m x 4.5m at widest points including stairUtility Room 2.25m x 1.9m at widest pointsWC 1m x 1.9m (at longest)Integral Double Garage 6.6m x 6.5mOn the First Floor:-Bedroom 1 4.5m x 2.7m extending to 3.55m at widest pointsBedroom 2 4.5m x 2.65m extending to 3.55m at widest pointsBathroom 2.8m x 2.7m at widest pointsBedroom 3 (or Hobby Room) 3.8m x 1.75mBedroom 4 4.5m x 2.4m extending to 3.55m at widest pointsMain Bedroom 5 4.5m x 3.55mEn-suite Shower Room 2.6m x 1.65m at widest pointsExternalThe house is set in 1.8 acres of private and secluded land, well back from the public road through Gulberwick. Access is via a private metalled road, culminating in a tree-lined drive up to the rear of the house, very unusual for a property in Shetland. There is a large paved patio at the front of the house, and paved surrounding paths.The owners of the property have put a huge effort into developing extensive surrounding woodland over the past 30 years, now a haven for migrant birds and other wildlife, yet the house still enjoys a lovely view to the sea.

DescriptionAs the location of Tracey Emin and Sarah Lucas' art shop in the 1990s, this four-storey freehold home and workspace is a real slice of Shoreditch art history.It's rare that people stay put for long in London these days, let alone live in the same place for nearly thirty years. But that's exactly what Brian Gurtler did, and you could say he's the original Mr Shoreditch.28 years ago, the scene on the doorstep of his freehold building on Redchurch Street was very different. The vacant lots with market traders going about their business have been replaced with glittering towers, creative startups and a fiercely independent scene of boundary-pushing retailers, coffee shops, bars and restaurants.Where did it all start? Well, there's a strong argument for saying the Shoreditch renaissance began in this very building. 103 Redchurch Street was formerly The Shop, the 1993 retail home of Tracey Emin and Sarah Lucas from where they sold their early work. It's a moment in time that gives the address a permanent place in local art history.Today, just as Shoreditch has moved on, a new pace of life now beckons for Brian. And we're delighted to have the distinguished task of finding a new custodian for his home. Fusing living and working for any potential suitor, it just happens to sit in what's noted as one of London's coolest streets.Topping out at just under 1500 sq ft and spread over four floors, the shape and form of the interior has changed over the years to accommodate a growing family, as well as a place to work.Starting at the bottom, the layout includes a lower ground floor that could easily become a self-contained studio apartment, while the original shop on the ground floor is now a workspace with a shower room.The first floor has two rooms: A recently fitted kitchen and another room that's currently used as a bedroom, but is equally suitable as a living room. Above this on the top floor are two more bedrooms, and both of the upper floors have their own private balcony area.The thing about this building is what it offers in terms of practicality and usability. More work space required? Just change it around. Prefer extra living space? Well, you get the picture.While Shoreditch has always been a short walk from the City, something you wouldn't have raved about thirty years ago was its connection to the rest of London. But now, the Overground at Shoreditch High Street and the newly opened Elizabeth Line at Liverpool Street have transformed travel times, with the West End, Canary Wharf and Heathrow now all on a direct route.You can also hop on the Northern Line at Old Street, or the Circle, Hammersmith & City and Metropolitan Lines at Liverpool Street along with the Stansted Express and multiple bus routes.Of course, you never really need to leave. When it's time to unwind and socialise, you'll never be bored in this part of town. Dining, drinking, theatre, cinema, music, markets and galleries abound in new and historic venues. In short, there's something for absolutely everyone.Council Tax Band: D (1,519.98) (London Borough of Tower Hamlets)Tenure: FreeholdApprox monthly utility & council tax costs £225Annual council tax £1519.98

The position of the property within the village was also a big attraction as it’s central but very quiet with open fields to the front. I also happen to think that it’s the loveliest lane in the Hemingfords, ” says the owner.“I bought the property in 2017 and the renovations were completed two years ago. It was an absolutely huge project, the biggest i’ve ever done, and I had to move out for 6 months whilst some of the work took place. Originally a 1960s four-bedroom house, it’s been completely refurbished and extended out in all directions. The frontage is now wonderfully characterful with two gables and painted black and white. It was a long haul and i’m very pleased with the result.”“Hemingford Grey is a lovely place to live with footpaths all around and scenic river walks to enjoy. We have a brilliant shop, award winning pub, coffee shop, primary school, sports and social club, and plenty of groups and activities to get involved in. It’s an easy walk or cycle into St Ives and it’s less than 10 minutes to Huntingdon station with regular fast trains into London. It’s a fantastic village in a perfect location and everything is easily accessible.”“The front garden is set back behind security gates, so it’s private and safe for everyone. There’s plenty of parking available and play areas for children to enjoy. The rear garden is low maintenance and totally secluded, so it’s ideal for pool parties, relaxing, and entertaining. Bifold doors open to the back garden, so we all spill outside when the weather is good.”“I tend to spend most of my time in the light and airy kitchen as it’s perfect for dining and chatting on the comfortable sofas. The principal bedroom is my haven of tranquillity and I use the indoor swimming pool every morning. It’s made such a difference to my fitness. The Chestnuts is a brilliant entertaining house where we’ve enjoyed regular family get-togethers to celebrate birthdays and other events, including Why not, it’s Friday! We unwind in the spa, play pool in the games room, and relax together in the peace and quiet of the living room.”Village informationThe Hemingfords (Abbots and Grey) are situated along the banks of the River Great Ouse and are well-known as very picturesque and sought-after Cambridgeshire villages.
