Seller Insight
Garland Cottage with its thatched roof, pretty garden, country views and sought after village location, is the quintessential English country cottage. The present owners were enchanted by its original features and period charm which blend seamlessly with the comforts of twenty first century living and the space for family life.
In their time in the cottage the present owners have redesigned the garden, extended the driveway to the road and have done extensive joinery, adding bespoke cabinets and shutters throughout the house and a new front door.
Garland cottage is a wonderful family home, with all of the downstairs reception rooms flowing from one into the other in a circle around the central staircase (the children can run in circles when not outside!). A favourite space is the light flooded and beamed sitting room. It is an all-year room, but with an evening fire and the shutters closed it becomes a cosy winter refuge. The bookcase installed in one of the reception rooms downstairs has also created the library as a peaceful sanctuary where you can read, relax and enjoy the view across the garden.
Garland cottage is brilliant for entertaining, and the owners say it comes alive for parties. Guests usually congregate in the kitchen, (or the large garden in the summer), but the circular flow of rooms creates the ideal space for a great party. For more formal events, the garden room is a superb dining room, where the windows and double doors allows a pretty garden backdrop whilst the patio is a sun filled al fresco dining area.
The large, fenced, garden is a joyous collection of colourful planting, including the back wall of the house, which is covered in climbing roses and jasmine. The fruit trees also provide a generous harvest which have supplied the ingredients for many a jar of cherry jam or apple and plum crumble. It has been the setting for children's parties; complete with bouncy castle. The owners say the south facing garden is a glorious spot which gets the sun all day and the views across the open countryside are a constant pleasure. A gate at the end of the garden leads straight into open fields, perfect for dog walking.
Yelling is a friendly and active community which holds events throughout the year, including BBQ's and flower, gin and beer festivals. The location provides the ability to enjoy the best of town and country living as London is under an hour from nearby St. Neots station, and Historic Cambridge, St Neots and Huntingdon are all an easy drive away. The owners are sad to leave but take away many happy memories of the house, their friends and the happy community they have enjoyed.
