Welcome to Quarry Master's Cottage, a stunning period home dating back to the 1800s. Nestled peacefully in a quiet Isleham cul-de-sac, this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of history that has been beautifully extended and updated for modern family life.
This four-bedroom detached home is absolutely overflowing with character and charm, boasting original wooden floorboards, exposed brickwork, and warm wooden beams that add to the historic feel. At the heart of the ground floor lies the expansive, open-plan living and dining room, centred around a beautiful wood burner—the perfect place to cosy up in the evening.
The cottage-style kitchen maintains its historic feel with original stone flooring, a small breakfast bar, and a charming stable door which serves as a convenient main entrance to the home. Crucially, the thoughtful layout offers annexe potential on the ground floor with two separate bedrooms, a bathroom, and its own entrance—a fantastic solution for multi-generational living.
Upstairs holds the true showstopper: the principal bedroom suite. This large private sanctuary includes extensive built-in storage and leads seamlessly into your own dressing room, complete with high ceilings and exposed wooden beams. This luxurious journey culminates in a stunning en-suite, featuring a large walk-in shower and a freestanding bath, perfectly framed by the vaulted, beamed ceiling.
Outside, you are greeted by a large, secluded front garden with a lush lawn and mature trees. The private driveway, which offers parking for three-plus cars, also features a useful brick-built shed. This is a house that has to be seen to be believed; a property that effortlessly blends historic charm with everything a growing family needs. We highly recommend you view Quarry Master's Cottage to see it in all its glorious detail.
Isleham is more than just a place on a map; it's a way of life. Here, you'll discover a close-knit and welcoming community where neighbours become friends and a peaceful pace of life is the norm. You'll love having The Merry Monk just a short stroll away, the perfect spot to meet up with friends or simply enjoy a quiet evening away from the kitchen. The village is well-equipped with local shops and a primary school, making it an ideal setting for families. While the village offers the peace of rural life, it's also perfectly positioned for convenience, with the bustling market towns of Newmarket and Ely just a short drive away. This home allows you to enjoy the best of both worlds: a tranquil retreat with the benefits of a thriving community and easy access to wider amenities.
