WILLOW END“We moved to Willow End in 1998 because my husband worked in St Neots,” says Jackie, “and I think what most attracted us to this house in particular was the location. It’s absolutely beautiful and appears to be very rural, but it’s actually just moments away from the fabulous shops and amenities of the town.”

Vendor Insight Around twenty years ago the house was extended, and essentially doubled in size,” says Jackie, “and then last year we

embarked upon a total renovation which included adding a double-height extension to the front of the house, a single-storey extension to the back and a large double brick built garage. We also modernised each of the bathrooms and put in a lovely new kitchen, which is now a fabulous space where we can cook, eat and entertain, and the patio doors allow everyday life to spill out into the garden, weather permitting. The whole house is now wonderfully spacious and looking absolutely beautiful.”

“Our main motivation for carrying out the work was to update the heating system,” continues Jackie, “which is now extremely economical to run. The system uses a stove burner which burns wood pellets, and it along with the Renewable Heat Incentive grant means that we actually receive more money than we pay to heat the house.”

“Our location is absolutely beautiful,” continues Jackie. “It’s wonderfully peaceful and we have views in every direction; we all just love it here. The children have been able to cycle to school and I can hop in the car and be in the centre of town in next to no time. We also have excellent road and rail links close at hand.”

Favourite room: “I think my favourite part of the house is the master bedroom,” says Jackie. “We’ve added a Juliet balcony, which is south facing, so we can wake up to the most beautiful view of the garden, the willow trees and the fields beyond.”

Favourite aspect of the grounds or surrounding area: “The garden is lovely and a particularly nice place to entertain friends and family,” says Jackie. “We have a summer party most years, children’s birthday parties and lots of social gatherings. If you like to entertain, then this house is fantastic.”

Memorable event (if not another favourite room or unique feature): “We have two staircases in the house,” says Jackie, “one of which leads up to a couple of bedrooms that can serve as a self-contained annexe. One of the rooms has a fully equipped kitchenette, so it would be ideal for a teenager or older relative.”

What they’ll miss most / why they are leaving: “We feel that the time is now right for us to downsize,” says Jackie, “but we will be very sad to leave. It has been a superb place to bring up our children, but it’s now time for another family to enjoy it and all of its many benefits.”


A lovely new kitchen has been fitted, which is now a fabulous space where we can cook, eat and entertain,

and the patio doors allow everyday life to spill out into the garden, weather permitting.”
