6 Bed Detached House, Motivated Seller, Ely, CB6 2RB £650,000

The rear LIBRARY is a serene hideaway with integral bookcases surrounding two walls and currently has a large desk by the two windows that face out to the garden.  Aiding the cosy feel is the inset gas fire surround and the wood flooring. 

Entering the UTILITY ROOM which has a tiled floor, a roll top work surface plumbing for washing machine and tumble dryer, bass and eye level storage units and further storage. Over the years this has become the main entrance for my clients and their family and friends.

You then enter the KITCHEN which has the potential to be a standout feature of this property in the centre of the home. As well as access to the conservatory, utility room and to the outside carport, it has a range of base and eye level storage units, ample roll tip worksurfaces, a peninsula workstation with two inset one and a half sink drainers, a recessed range cooker with extractor hood over and ample space for additional appliances. 

Another door leads from the kitchen to the SNUG, with stripped wooden floorboards and a sash window to the front. This has previously been used as a breakfast/dining room and you also have a door to a secondary entrance hallway and a downstairs cloakroom with WC and wash hand basin. From here there is a door to the covered carport at the rear. This is also the location of a second stairway that rises to the galleried landing with the primary staircase at the opposite end.

At the top of the stairs, the galleried landing presents you with a charming sitting area that offers views  over the churchyard.  There is then a connecting corridor along the upstairs with a door half way down allowing for a simple way to divide the property if you were considering adapting it to an annexe, or areas for multi-generational living.  

At this end we have BEDROOM THREE (which is currently used as a sitting room with dual aspect to the front and rear) and BEDROOM FIVE with a front facing window. 

The “main” bedroom on this side is BEDROOM TWO that boasts a double  closet, a further single closet providing plenty of storage space without the need for extra wardrobes. There is also an ornate fire surround, a picture rail and sash window to the front.

Before the connecting door, we have the simple but elegant FAMILY BATHROOM, which has an iron bath with claw feet, a low level flush wc, and vanity wash hand basin with a cupboard beneath. In addition there is also a walk-in double  shower cubicle with tiled surround. There is a frosted sash window to the rear.

Through the connecting door we can turn right to the rear of the home where there is a separate WC and a SHOWER ROOM with wash hand basin and a sash window to the rear. 

Next to this is BEDROOM 6 with a secondary glazed window to the rear providing views over the fields. This room has a storage closet, which  has the Valiant boiler (fitted 2013) providing domestic hot water and heating, and an airing cupboard. 

Back to the main landing and BEDROOM FOUR has a sash window to the front and again boasts a double storage closet and a single closet. 

The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM could almost be its own suite with two double storage closets and space for seating and an ottoman underneath the large sash window to the front.  Extra light is provided by a sash further window with views of the garden and fields beyond.

OUTSIDE

If the inside seems to offer up secret rooms and surprises, the outside more than matches it for standout features. 

The large undercover CARPORT could conceivably be an extra patio terrace or be adapted as a second garden if this side of the house were to be used as an annexe or alternative living for multi-generational purposes.  This is also where you will find the GARAGE that has an up and over door to the front, a side entrance and side window. On this side you will also find the large WORKSHOP/STUDY that has its own entrance and cloakroom with toilet and handbasin. This makes it ideal for working from home and is independent from the rest of the house.

The REAR GARDEN is like a secret retreat with different levels including a terrace, and a lower lawn with a shed in the far corner.    KEY INFORMATION Property Type                                  Detached Bedrooms                                         6 Council Tax                                       Band G Square footage                                3817 square feet (approximately) EPC Rating                                       Not Applicable Age                                                   Around 1690 Last sold date                                   2000 Title Number                                    CB240736 Plot size                                             0.2 acres Heating                                             Gas Central Heating Tenure                                               Freehold LOCAL AREA Local Authority                               East Cambs District Council Flood Risk River & Seas                  Very low Flood Risk surface water               Very low Conservation Area                          Yes CONNECTIVITY Estimated broadband speeds: Standard                               17mbps Superfast                              291mbps Ultrafast                                1000mbps Cable/Satellite TV availability BT                   Yes Sky                  Yes Mobile Signals (based on calls indoors) EE                   Green 3 (Three)        Green O2                  Green Vodafone       Green        Green -           Likely to have good coverage.        Amber -         You may experience some problems.        Red -              You should not expect to receive a signal.

However, making these arrangements can be tricky and complicated, juggling work and home life commitments, or simply finding enough time if moving into a new area and traveling some distance. Booking a Remote Viewing Tour puts YOU firmly in control. Arrange a day and time that is convenient for you to “look around” and I will arrange for my client to go out and then be at the property at the appointed time to walk you around the house using WhatsApp or Facetime. The Viewing Tour can be as quick or as long as you like, making sure you have a good look round, focussing on the rooms that are important to you. This will hopefully help you decide to arrange a normal viewing at a later date or after office hours.   HAVE YOU GOT A HOUSE TO SELL: If you are thinking of moving and have yet to put your house on the market, or if you are on with another estate agent and have yet to find a buyer, I would welcome the opportunity of sharing my 30 years of estate agency experience with you.
