SOUTH HOO COTTAGE Pages.indd 3 03/07/2019 12:01 Seller Insight Originally standing as an 1880’s farm cottage, this detached property, which sits in a rural location South West of Kimbolton, has been extended to make a wonderful family home full of period charm and modern convenience. ‘When we bought the property we felt that we had been given stewardship of a small piece of English history and although it was in need of some tlc its potential was undeniable. So we completely stripped back and restored the original two-up two-down cottage and added a new wing to make a good-sized family home. For us it was important to ensure that the house was restored sympathetically and that the history of the house remained intact, so we retained the chimneys, fireplaces and exposed old beams and walls where possible and scoured salvage yards for the right materials to ensure the house looks old and feels settled in its surroundings.
