"The property sits tucked away on Honey Hill, at the end of a long driveway, so a good distance from the road, and at the back and to the side of the garden there's nothing but mile upon mile of rolling farmland so the views are incredible. We're just moments from the centre of the village, which is a lovely place, but when we're sitting outside gazing at those views and enjoying the utter peace and quiet, we often say that we feel as if we're living in the middle of nowhere. It's totally idyllic.""The house is a Potton self-build, built by the previous owners seventeen years ago, and although it was constructed to a very high standard, its true potential had not been fully realised."The layout has remained much the same, apart from the addition of a fabulous sunroom that creates an amazing sense of connection between inside and out. Two new bathrooms were also added upstairs, a gorgeous Tom Howley kitchen was fitted, the lighting was upgraded, parquet flooring was laid Essentially, every inch of the house was refurbished and all to an incredibly high standard. Outside I had a garage with one-bed annex built as well as a beautiful home office, and the garden was completely re-landscaped by Stephane Lustig, a fantastic landscape architect who totally reimagine the space and filled it with an array of plants that create a riot of colour in the spring and summer months. When the sun is shining the whole garden becomes this gorgeous extension of the living space, with areas for relaxing, eating with friends and we also had a very luxurious outdoor kitchen installed. I can honestly say that living here is like being on a permanent holiday, and our friends love coming here too, and whenever anyone visits, the first word out of their mouth is always, 'wow'.""I love the kitchen, but if I had to pick a favourite room it would probably be the sunroom. It's gorgeous in winter when the log burner is roaring away, but it really comes into its own when the sun is shining. We can push back the bi folds, blurring the line between inside and out, and therefore, as I said before, the garden essentially becomes this amazing extension of the living space.""Fen Drayton is such a lovely village, and my partner and I were immediately welcomed into the community when we moved here. There's a little school, an active village hall, tennis courts and football fields, and the village pub is a real hub of the community. We've also relished the fact that we're surrounded by beautiful countryside making it a dog-walker's paradise!""The home office is a really lovely feature of the property. It's positioned at the far end of the garden, next to the pond, and it has a wrap-around terrace where we have yet more seating and a fire pit, and inside there's a log burner so it can be used all year round.""This is a house quite unlike any other; it's absolutely stunning, and the property as a whole has a special something about it that everyone notices the minute they come through the gates," says the owner. "It's a place where we've enjoyed an exceptional quality of life, and we're going to be really sad to say goodbye."Village informationFen Drayton, located between Cambridge and St. Ives, is a quaint village faturing a lively pub 12 miles from the beautiful University city of Cambridge.
