House For Sale £795,000
A wonderful opportunity to purchase this beautifully presented Grade II Listed, four-bedroom detached, barn conversion in the highly regarded village of Witchford about 5 miles west of Ely and about 15 miles north of Cambridge. The home perfectly balances modern aesthetic with charming rustic elements to create a sympathetic and attractive family home with countryside views.
The property offers spacious and open living areas with a generous garden and numerous thoughtful, and bespoke features. It benefits from several expansive windows, flooding the property in natural light, and bi-fold doors which establish indoor/outdoor living at its finest.
The ground floor highlights contemporary living with high quality finishing with underfloor heating throughout and provides access to the living and dining areas of the home. Upon entering, you find a spacious entryway with a generous storage cupboard and WC which in turn leads to the large front living room. This generous living room is marked by bi-folding doors to the garden and plenty of natural light.
The ground floor follows seamlessly into the modern, bespoke kitchen. You're struck by the large, live edge, walnut countertop which marks the central island, as well as the modern, gloss units and stylish backsplash. Both spacious and tasteful, the kitchen not only looks great, but is a cook's dream! All Neff appliances are integrated, including dual ovens (one steam), dishwasher, fridge, worktop integrated induction hob and Grohe boiling water tap.
The central island is a definite focal point of the kitchen and is perfect for meal preparation, storage, and a family gathering and entertaining space. The room itself is large enough to accommodate a dining table, or perhaps a sitting area. The current owners have adapted the space several times to suit their needs.
There is access to a large utility area with sink and storage units comprised of cabinetry matching the kitchen.
From the kitchen, there is a formal dining room with bi-folding doors encompassing the length of the room and granting access to the garden via a wooden decking area.
Moving to the first floor, via the stunning wood staircase you arrive on the large, pitch-roofed landing which grants access to four double bedrooms. The whole of the first floor includes remote Velux windows with auto-close, proving to be functional, but also encouraging ample natural light.
The primary suit is entered through a dedicated dressing area with custom storage and cabinetry. The primary suite is particularly impressive, enjoying a staggering bi-fold window and Juliet balcony encompassing most of the rear wall, therefore flooding the room with light and views of the surrounding area. This is the perfect place to unwind with a glass of wine in the evening and watch the sunset over the fields behind the property. It also benefits from a large, custom skylight, flooding the room with even more natural light and character. All complemented by its own ensuite with separate shower, WC and hand basin.
The further three bedrooms and family bathroom are all a very generous size and are thoughtfully designed with natural light from both the ceiling and side windows. The family bathroom is sleek and modern and features a walk-in shower and separate bathtub along with a double vanity unit and WC.
Outside, the gardens are enclosed by brick wall, creating privacy whilst being sympathetic to the outer aesthetics of the property. At the rear, there is both a raised wooden decking area and a paved patio which are exceptional spaces for entertaining or simply enjoying quiet, uninterrupted views of the fields behind. The remaining garden is a gorgeously maintained lawn area marked by two beautiful mature trees. Additionally, to the left of the property, there is a large space for a potential double garage STP as well as space for parking several vehicles.
The home is in the highly regarded village about 2 miles west of Ely and about 15 miles north of Cambridge. Ely provides an excellent range of shopping, schooling, sporting, and domestic facilities with a mainline rail service to London (approximately 70 miles) via Cambridge (16 miles). Facilities within the village include an active Village Hall, the church, recreation ground, public house and a 6 day a week bus service. Witchford College is also well regarded in the area.
Ely provides an excellent range of shopping, schooling, sporting, and domestic facilities with a mainline rail service to London (approximately 70 miles) via Cambridge (16 miles). Ely is draped in history. The cathedral is simply magnificent and marks the skyline in every direction. Whilst historic and surrounded by glorious fenland and agriculture, Ely has excellent transport links to Cambridge and London and the surrounding Fenland. The area also boasts several sporting facilities including a highly rated 18-hole golf course, The Hive Leisure Centre, including an indoor swimming pool, a gymnasium, and a squash club; as well as a range of excellent locally owned pubs and restaurants and cafes.
Ely also benefits from the Ely Leisure Village anchored by a Cineworld with family restaurants and takeaways. Not to mention, there are also the most wonderful countryside walks the Fen has to offer including the Country Park. Local education in the area is world-class, as Ely is home to one of the oldest independent schools in the world which is also highly touted. However, it also incorporates excellent state school options from Primary up to Secondary.
