7 bedroom detached house for sale

A beautifully appointed, detached, 7-bedroom period home, boasting around 350 square meters of flexible and enviable living accommodation all of which stand within generous, attractive and private grounds and gardens. The current owners have spent more than 20 years carefully renovating, extending, and adapting the property. Whilst doing so, they have retained much of its original character and charm whilst incorporating newer areas that produce a more modernistic layout, suitable for a more modern lifestyle. Downstairs, there is very much of a traditional feel brought about by the presence of open fireplaces in both the front sitting room and the formal dining room. There are 2 further reception rooms along with the practicalities of a shower room, boot room and a separate laundry room. Then, stretching across the rear, there is the most magnificent, open-plan kitchen and entertaining space extending over more than 10 metres in width. Here, there is a striking, bespoke area for food preparation and storage all covered with granite work-surfaces. This then opens onto a dining space which has patio doors opening directly to the rear patio. Upstairs, the sense of light and versatility continues. The middle floor offers a further 4 bedrooms all served by a spacious, family bathroom. The creation of the main bedroom suite, just as an area of its own, has created 50 square metres of accommodation split between the most amazing en-suite with walk-in shower room, separate dressing room and bedroom that spans over 6 metres with inward patio doors overlooking the rear. Accessed from this bathroom, there is also a terrace where there is seating space to sit and enjoy the tranquillity of the outside. There are then 3 further bedrooms on the top floor. Externally, the gardens have been equally as well maintained with a programme of landscaping having occurred over time. The house stands within these grounds with enclosed, lawns circling, generous areas of patio and mature shrubs and trees set throughout. A high level of privacy is available, and everything is defined and enclosed including the parking areas, double garage and sweeping driveway that is accessed via private gates to the front.Positioned on the edge of the village, all of the local amenities (School, Health Centre, Pub, Post Office etcetera) remain in walking distance including the main line railway station which provides direct access to Ely, Cambridge and London. A truly individual property, presented for sale with no onward chain, and which offers such a wonderful combination of space and privacy, all finished and presented to the highest standards.
