“Before we purchased Beauchamps just over six years ago we were living fairly locally, says Amanda. My husband used to cycle past the house quite regularly and had absolutely fallen in love with it, so when it finally came up for sale we jumped at the chance to own it.”

“The previous owners had lived in the house for over thirty years, so it was in need of updating, but we ended up renovating much of the house and stable yard. We’ve gone through it with a fine

tooth comb, says Amanda, but there are still

plenty of ways that a new owner could put their

mark on the house.”

“This is a magical house, says Amanda, you turn off the road onto the track and all you can see is the tops of the tall chimneys. We have no passing traffic, , so it’s

very tranquil, and yet within five minutes you can be in Buntingford,

which has a lovely high street that sells everything you could

possibly need. “

“We’re also just a stone’s throw from both the A10 and the M11, so it’s easy to get into London, and we have a very good selection of schools in

the local area.”


“In the attic, which was once the servants quarters, we have planning permission to add two bedroom suites and new windows.”

“The garden is beautiful, says Amanda, and very well established, and the unusual thing about it is that we have a moat that runs around three sides of the lawn. When the children were teenagers they would take a rowing boat out and had a lot of fun.”
