Seller Insight
“We had always loved this picture postcard house, so it was a dream come true for us to finally own it, ” say the current owners of 31 The Avenue. “One of the most loved houses in March, this is a wonderful home with masses of character and a feel good atmosphere. Wonderfully picturesque, the view of the front of the house is beautiful throughout the seasons with the two Cherry Blossom trees.”
Built in approximately 1824, the house has been lovingly refurbished by the owners in keeping with the original character of the property. “The old stables have been converted into an annexe with bedroom, bathroom and lounge, ” they say, “while in the main house, many traces remain of the buildings original use. For example, the Scullery used to be the meat room, and the kitchen still has the original bread oven in a cupboard which has been kept as a memento for the house. The kitchen and downstairs cloakroom and scullery all still have their original brick floors, while upstairs, the original wooden floors have been restored in all the bedrooms and on the stairs too. The house benefits from two working fireplaces, one in the lounge and one in the upstairs bedroom, making it wonderfully cosy in winter, while the new Edwardian Glass Roof Conservatory allows us to enjoy the beautifully landscaped gardens all year round. The patio in the rear garden is sunny all day long, providing the ideal setting for al fresco dinners in the summer months.”
The location of the property has much to recommend it, too. “March Station is just 5 minutes’ drive away for links to all international airports and major stations up and down the country, ” say the owners. “Neale Wade Secondary School is 2 minutes’ walk away, as is Cavalry Primary School, with supermarkets and shops also nearby. We are just 30 minutes from the cathedral city of Ely and the historic university city of Cambridge, too.”
