House For Sale £650,000
This striking home is set in an incredible location on the periphery of the popular village of Sutton and within easy reach of the cathedral city of Ely and the bustling market town of St Ives. The property has been extended and greatly improved by the current owner to maximise the stunning views across the rolling Cambridgeshire countryside.
Approaching along the gravel drive, with double garage and lots of off-street parking, you start to get a sense of the peace and tranquillity that a home like this offers. The ground floor is arranged with two very generous living rooms, snug, large dine-in kitchen with stunning views, two large double bedrooms and a family bathroom. Upstairs are two further bedrooms and a bathroom.
The formal gardens are an absolute joy and have been carefully planted and meticulously maintained to offer a haven from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. In addition to this is a three-acre paddock which could be used for equestrian purposes or just as a wild meadow.
Early internal inspection is advised.
Sellers Insight
The present owners say that when they return home to the tranquillity of Four Acres, it is like turning down the volume on daily noise and stress. The house sits in a rich, green haven of cottage garden, flower meadow and arboretum yet are within walking distance of Sutton village. They have the advantages of space and seclusion without isolation.
The Fenland countryside is renowned for its vast skies and staggeringly beautiful sunsets and from Four Acres you can appreciate these wonderful views. When the owners moved in fifteen years ago they knocked two rooms together to create a large living room. With its generous windows and patio doors, you can settle with an evening glass of wine and watch the dramatic sunsets. It is a gentle way to end the day.
Four Acres is a home which welcomes people and the kitchen is a great cooking and entertaining space, where friends gather with drinks to chat with the cook. Open the patio doors in the summer and the decking becomes an al fresco dining room, with uninterrupted views across the meadow. The patio, kitchen and dining room have an easy flow, making the ground floor a most sociable hub.
For down time, the snug has a big stone fireplace and is a cosy winter retreat for reading and watching TV. And like all the rooms the windows act as frames for the picturesque scenery.
The ground floor bedrooms are ideal for elderly visitors and from the living room stairs to the master bedroom, dressing room and room currently used as a work/home office, make the ideal adult sanctuary.
The low maintenance grounds are a breath-taking mix of seasonal colours enticing a variety of birds and wildlife. A barn owl has made his home in the meadow, and woodpeckers frequent the property. There are numerous places to sit and from the furthest point you can look across the wild meadow to the house or out across the stretching fen. To sit under a night sky with myriad stars is contentment.
Sutton is a community minded village with a shop, post office and pub. There is easy access to historic Ely, seven miles away, where there is a frequent train service into Liverpool Street and Kings Cross.
The owners have loved the privilege of having daily access to so much beauty and space. Four Acres is a very special property.
