“We bought the property in 2009,”

recalls Lynn “We wanted to live in the

countryside and particularly liked the pretty

village of Abbotsley, which is also a very lively

community with lots going on, including a

Scarecrow Festival and a Feast Week. The house

itself had been built in 1974 and was in sore

need of updating; we’re not developers but we

enjoy taking on the challenge of a project and

we could see it had potential.”

“Our first tasks were the replacement of the cloakroom suite, the master bedroom’s en-suite facilities and

the entrance hall flooring,” remembers Steve. “We installed triple-

glazed windows throughout, adding a new walk-in bay window to

the lounge’s front aspect. We also put in new garage doors and

new front and back doors, and we replaced the fascias, soffits and

guttering. There had originally been a separate dining room and

a flat roof conservatory, which we next incorporated into a large

open plan and refurbished kitchen, dining and living area.”

We have taken out the conservatory and replaced it with a high-roofed extension that has Velux windows and underfloor heating. The

extension stretches across the back of the lounge, to which it is now open plan

after removing the French doors that once opened from the lounge to the garden.

The French doors were no longer necessary because of the extension’s triple-glazed

bi-folding doors and the lounge’s open fire, which we’ve recently refurbished with a

brand new limestone surround and granite hearth.”

“The completion of the extension led to the re-landscaping of the garden,” continues Steve. “We built a new natural limestone

patio across the back, which has electric lights and a one-foot high retaining wall with two wide steps leading up to the re-turfed lawn. Visitors often

comment that the way the bi-folding doors open up to the new terrace reminds them of exotic holiday destinations! The combination certainly

makes it a house for entertaining. The patio extends down the side, where there are solar lights. We’ve also renewed the fencing at the front and

the back, adding a new back gate. We’ve also installed a new oil tank.” “Abbotsley is a delightful village to live in. Nearby Waresely Garden Centre

also retails food, fruit and vegetables, but St Neots offers larger scale retail amenities, including a Tesco and a Waitrose, while Cambridge is also

easily accessible. Commuters also use St Neots station, which connects to London Kings Cross.” conclude Steve and Lynn.
