Named after the previous owner, this much loved semi-detached family home, next door to the local primary school, provides spacious yet cosy accommodation in the heart of the pretty Cambridgeshire village of Offord D’Arcy. Close by lies Godmanchester, a historic and scenic town situated on the River Great Ouse, in the Ouse Valley. There has been a settlement here since Viking times and the town retains much of its Roman history where history buffs can visit Porch Museum, as it is home to many local artefacts and is a treasure trove of information about the history of the town. Also a ‘must visit’ is the university city of Cambridge with its guided walks, numerous museums, including the famous Fitzwilliam, punting on the River Cam, open top bus tours and great shops and restaurants. In fact, to fit it all in, you will need to make several visits, and Cambridge’s network of park and ride systems make this very easy to do. Alternatively you can pop in to Huntingdon and take the train, which also runs to Ely with its magnificent cathedral, or even be in the heart of London in around an hour. Even closer lies Grafham Water, which offers water sports and is a great place for a leisurely stroll, picnic or family day out. Whatever you decide to do, you’ll undoubtedly be pleased to return to Pam’s Plaice and enjoy dinner in the light and airy conservatory, which just seems to bring the outside in, or in the pretty rear garden, while you plan adventures yet to be had. Shop 400 yards. Restaurant 200 yards.

Kimbolton offers a variety of independent shops, restaurants, café, and pubs right on your doorstep. A visit to Kimbolton Castle will tell the story of Catherine of Aragon, who was a semi-prisoner there for four years before her death. Being only 40 minutes from Cambridge, it is well worth taking a day out to see the sights, do a bit of retail shopping, or take a ride on a punt whilst learning about all the historic buildings.
The medieval market town of St Ives is just 30 minutes away. St Ives Bridge is a picturesque crossing over the River Great Ouse, and one of just four bridges in England to have an in-built chapel which can be accessed by foot. Take a riverboat cruise to see the delights of the river. Catch a glimpse of mammals such as voles, shrews, deer, badgers, bats, and foxes at the Holt Island Nature Reserve.
