"We were looking for a home with character, and although we had looked at many period properties in the area, none of them were quite right," say the current owners of Manor Farm House. "Then when we came through the door of this beautiful Grade II listed farmhouse, we fell in love with it right away. As well as being pretty and picturesque from the outside, the house is spacious and well-proportioned inside. We liked how the space flowed and were impressed by the sheer size of the bedrooms and lounge, which is unusual for a home of this period. We could see that it would work well for our growing family. We feel very lucky to have been custodians of this historic home for 16 years now, and to have made so many special family memories here. We hope the next owners will love it as much as we have!"During their time here, the owners have made various improvements to the property. "We have modernised the house in keeping with its historic character, taking care to retain original features while equipping our home with all the comforts of contemporary life," the owners say. "As this is a Grade II listed building, the only substantial changes we have made have been internal, for example replacing the kitchen and bathrooms and installing new heating, boiler and log burners. The kitchen is now the hub of the home and is where everyone congregates around the warmth of the AGA to do homework, cook or socialise. The lounge is a wonderful social space too, particularly at Christmas time with a log fire burning in the inglenook and a big tree festooned with lights."Outside, the generous gardens serve as an extension of the indoor living accommodation during the warmer months of the year. "We have an outdoor entertaining space flowing directly from the kitchen", the owners say. "This circular patio with a round table to seat eight people has been designed specifically for al fresco dining, and we have other zones such as a separate area for a trampoline and lawns for the children to kick a ball around. When the children were younger, it was great to be able to keep an eye on them out of the kitchen window, too!"Part of the appeal of the property is its setting, within cycling distance of St. Neots station for trains to London and within easy reach of the A1, whilst being at the heart of village life in picturesque Offord Cluny. "The property is rural but not too secluded," say the owners, "with amazing dog walks right from the doorstep as well as easy access to local towns and centres. The village also has a Budgens store, which is very convenient for everyday necessities. The university city of Cambridge is within easy reach for shopping, entertainment and a range of excellent schools in the state and private sector. The property is also within the catchment area for the well-regarded Hinchingbrooke School in Huntingdon, while the primary school in Offord Cluny itself has recently been rated Outstanding for pastoral care by Ofsted."Village Information
