Not only that but there are unusually high we have no need to worry about disturbing any ceilings. Glazed double doors open into the dual neighbours with noise!” they declare.

Outside, the spacious garden that stretches out to the open fields beyond, is a haven of privacy and tranquility. With lawns, gravelled and paved areas, shrubs and trees, and a sculptural parterre that boasts roses in summer, there is plenty of interest. “The garden is lovely in both summer and winter; first the snowdrops appear, then daffodils and the cherry tree’s blossom by the pond,” state the owners. “That started off as a fish pond but when the heron took all the fish it turned into a wildlife pond which has been sheer delight! You can sit and watch the activity for hours, whether in the house or outside. We love the jays and woodpeckers, but also there’s a resident family of twelve long-tailed tits, and a trio of ducks who come back year after year.”

The nursery, which occupies several acres adjoining the garden, has separate access from the road, with a heavy goods cross over for lorry access. The car park itself has a hard core base with gravel surface, near which is a log cabin used as a sales office. Trellis screening acts as a boundary, and there are 11 poly-tunnels (one three-span) all on individual concrete blocks holding the hoops, with concrete paths in between each tunnel, and some standing out beds. Due to storm damage the sheeting needs replacing. The many water points are fed by a ¾ inch pipe to the nursery.

The lively village of Farcet is just down the road. “Access to local resources is excellent; there’s a primary school, shop, doctor’s surgery, and church, which can be seen from the house, lovely lit up at night; the community is very active with lots of clubs and classes as there’s a village hall and the Salvation Army. Everybody helps everybody! Within 6 miles there are also three secondary schools including The Academy, Hampton Gardens School and Hampton College. I work in the city which is only a ten or fifteen minute drive (where Peterborough’s train station has a fast service to London via Cambridge), and it’s wonderful to come home to the quiet and rural space here. We are both really going to miss absolutely everything about this place!” concludes the daughter. To arrange a viewing of this property please contact Energy Graph
