Where better to curl up in front of the warmth of a woodburner after a brisk walk in the countryside around the village of Gamlingay, than the snug of Hope Cottage. Entertaining weekend guests

who have escaped busy lives for a touch of

rural splendour is not only simple but a pleasure

in this home for all seasons – whether festive

gatherings in the sitting room while the snow

settles outside, or summer parties in the lounge

of the linked converted barn.

vendor


insight The lounge with its vaulted ceiling and access through glass doors to the rear garden and courtyard, will not

fail to impress family and friends alike. They can all stay over with

delightful bedrooms in both the Victorian Cottage and in the barn

conversion. The cottage boasts the best of both worlds, with the

period charm of the mid 19th Century property resting proudly in

an elevated position, and the barn, ideal for versatile modern living.

There’s space in the main cottage for either a playroom or an

office, while the accommodation in the converted barn could

also be used for extended family, use by young people or elderly

relatives, as well as for those who want to work or run a small

business from home.


The owners have thoroughly transformed the property since they were inspired by the possibilities that life in this small but vibrant community presented. For

them Gamlingay had everything that was best about village life

to offer whether walking dogs in the countryside, horse riding, or

going to the village pub, clubs and events. The convenience of a

supermarket, two cafés, and a village college also add to

the attractions.


The town of St Neots with its weekly market and fortnightly farmer markets is great for purchases of local produce to

cook up into fabulous meals back at Hope Cottage. Less than 50 miles from London and only 18 miles to the university city of Cambridge,

Gamlingay is ideally positioned for commuters too. Cambridge with its historic college grounds, punting on the River Cam, browsing the

wonderful array of shops and stopping off for a meal is splendid for a day out with guests, rounded off back at Hope Cottage for a drink

on the patio followed by supper as the sun goes down on the day and another great weekend.
