Manor Cottage is a quintessentially English, chocolate box thatched cottage, bordered by a pretty cottage garden, that enjoys an idyllic location in pretty Papworth St Agnes village. It sits opposite the village green, overlooking the old communal bakehouse where villagers were able to bake their bread. This position, with fields to the rear of the property ensures a tranquil rural setting. When the present owners, Ian and Juliet, pulled up outside Manor Cottage they were enchanted. Juliet explains that when they viewed the property they only got as far as the bespoke kitchen to know that this was to be their new home. They have spent twelve happy years in the cottage.Originally the property consisted of two cottages and was known as the 'the two cottages' on the green, and a previous owner added an oak frame extension. In twenty seventeen the owners rethatched the roof and have also installed a new boiler and oil tank. They have maintained the cottage to a very high standard.Juliet explains that the whole house is a joy to live in, and it is impossible to choose a favourite room. They love the oak framed dining room which is flooded with the morning sun and the bespoke kitchen with its pretty views to the garden. In the dual aspect lounge the open fire creates a cosy winter refuge, and the master bedroom with the original oak beams is like stepping back in history.The original features are a charming part of living in the cottage. The kitchen is in the original part of the house and has wattle and daub walls with details carved onto the oak beams: the master bedroom and landing have the original 17th century floors. These features blend seamlessly with the comforts of modern living, and a great asset is the huge walk in wardrobe in the loft space.The private and stunningly designed rear back garden has an abundant array of plants and shrubs in every season. It is a summer pleasure to sit on the sunny patio for an al fresco breakfast, or settle by the pond for a relaxing, evening gin and tonic. It is a calming green oasis.Papworth St Agnes is a community spirited village and village events are held in the deconsecrated church. Events include a summer barbecue, quiz nights and a craft and heritage classic car day. There are lovely walks round the village and in the surrounding countryside. You feel miles from anywhere but have quick and easy access to neighbouring villages and towns. Historic St Ives, Huntingdon, St Neots and Godmanchester are all a short drive away, and for the commuter there is a fast and frequent rail service into London Euston and Kings Cross, from St Neots and Huntingdon. You have the best of town and country living.Ian and Juliet will miss the tranquillity, the community spirit in the village, the beautiful views, and the life they have enjoyed in the cottage. They take away many very happy memories.Village information
