Outside, to the rear, the landscaped west-facing garden is an excellent size, fully enclosed by attractive fencing and mature hedgerows to the left, and a striking curved wall to the right of the property. The wall retains so much warmth in the summer months, that the current owners have managed to grow Mediterranean stone fruits such as peaches and nectarines on trees that are trained along the wall. This quiet oasis offers a wonderful space to sit and enjoy the sunny days. It is laid mainly to lawn, with a large garden terrace spanning the width of the house, providing ample space for garden furniture, eating meals al fresco, playing games and entertaining guests.

**Location - Burwell
**Burwell is a pretty parish village, situated 4 miles from the market town of Newmarket, 10 miles northeast of Cambridge, and lying on the southeast edge of the Fens, with good transport links along the A14 between the Cambridge and Suffolk counties.
Burwell is steeped in history, with two conservation areas, the earthwork remains of Burwell Castle, a scheduled monument, and nearly 60 listed buildings. The Grade-I listed parish church of St Mary the Virgin dates back earlier than the 15th Century and enjoys an active churchgoing membership with events throughout the year. There is also a Baptist church north of the village and a Trinity church near St. Mary’s.
An annual carnival happens in June to raise money for charity, and a parade travels from the south of the village to the recreation ground, where stalls and fairground rides are present. The village has two village halls, 3 public houses including the Fox which often has many Street Food vans in attendance, The Five Bells, and also The Anchor which has been recently purchased and now offers delicious Thai Food. The village also has allotments, a café, a takeaway fish and chip shop, a doctor's surgery, a nursery, a Montessori, a playground for preschool children, and a primary school. Children attend secondary schools in either Soham or Bottisham. There are many sports, arts and crafts, and activities for all the family, as well as lovely walks around the village within striking distance of Wicken Fen Nature Reserve.
If you’re looking to purchase in the area, we highly recommend the vibrant village of Burwell!
