AVAILABLE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN OVER 75 YEARS
AN IMPOSING VICTORIAN HOUSE SET IN GARDENS AND GROUNDS IN A QUIET LOCATION YET CLOSE TO THE TOWN CENTRE AND RAILWAY STATION

THE PROPERTY
Millcourt is an imposing Victorian town property built in 1860 with a fascinating history. Having once been associated with a former mill nerarby, the house played a part in wartime Soham, hosting the town’s police station in the main entrance hall.

Having been in the current family ownership for over 75 years, the property has now reached the point of requiring modernisation with an exciting opportunity to re-configure and extend (subject to the necessary consents).

Built of buff brick under a hipped slate roof with UPVC double glazed windows throughout, the well-proportioned accommodation extends to 3,019 sq ft benefitting from good levels of natural light and enhanced by retained original features such as stripped wood floors, ornate heavy timber beams to the formal rooms, deep architraves, fireplaces and picture rails.

The imposing entrance hall has heavy timber beams with access to the garden room and inner hall housing an impressive staircase to the first floor. A formal dining room adjoins together with a formal sitting room with ornate carved timber cross beams and feature oak paneled fireplace surround with an inset mirror. The kitchen has fitted timber wall and floor units with worktops, sink and space for appliances. There is an adjoining laundry whilst adjacent to the kitchen is a utility room/pantry.

The first floor is arranged around a large galleried landing. The large principal bedroom has views to the front and former fireplace. There are three further double bedrooms, a family bathroom and separate shower room.

OUTSIDE
Millcourt has a gated tarmac in/out driveway with extensive parking and large covered car port with an array of adjacent garden store rooms (two integral to the house), with a separate store/workshop to the rear. Lawns encompass the front and side extending to the rear with well-stocked borders and mature holly and beech hedges providing shelter and secluded areas and a vegetable garden. The front of the house boasts a magnolia, yew tree and an impressive wisteria adorning the front façade.
