A Characterful Haven with Endless Possibilities | Exning
If you have been searching for a home that combines the charm of the late 19th century with the ultimate in modern flexibility, this beautiful four-bedroom detached residence is a must-see. Originally built circa 1890 as two cottages, the property has been thoughtfully converted into one expansive family home that seamlessly blends historic soul with contemporary living.
The character of this home is evident from the moment you step into the large, welcoming hallway, which offers ample storage for a busy family. You are greeted by vaulted ceilings, beautiful beams, and exposed brickwork that tell the story of the building's heritage. To the front, two elegant reception rooms overlook a private, south-facing orchard garden, home to productive plum, cherry, and walnut trees—the perfect spot for a morning coffee in the sun.
The heart of the home is undoubtedly the stunning kitchen diner at the rear. This space is designed for both the serious cook and the social entertainer, featuring a large electric double oven, a ceramic hob, and beautiful porcelain flooring with underfloor heating. A decorative log burner and striking exposed beams add to the ambiance, while multiple windows flood the room with light and offer views over a secluded courtyard. Practicality is well-catered for with a generous utility room and a stylish downstairs shower room featuring a large walk-in rainfall shower.
Upstairs, the sense of space continues with four well-proportioned bedrooms, including two excellent doubles, served by a well-appointed family bathroom featuring a tub for a relaxing soak.
However, the true "wow factor" lies just across the courtyard in the self-contained annexe, affectionately named 'The Burrow.' This exceptional space offers a large open-plan living area with its own kitchenette and a high-specification bathroom. Whether you require a home for multi-generational living, a dedicated professional office, a guest suite, or a potential income stream via Airbnb, The Burrow provides the perfect solution. Adjacent to the annexe is an oversized double garage with an electric door, offering space for multiple vehicles, a home gym, or even further conversion potential.
Exning is a village that prides itself on a vibrant sense of community, offering a lifestyle that is increasingly hard to find. It is a place where neighbours become friends, evidenced by the much-loved local traditions that fill the calendar, from the excitement of the annual duck races to the various summer fetes held in the village. The community is well-served by a range of local facilities, including a convenience shop, barbers, hair salon, and a local cake shop, alongside the community centre and the historic village church. Unlike most small villages, Exning still boasts 3 thriving public houses each with their own unique charm and character.
For families, the outstanding-rated Exning Primary School and Stepping Stones nursery are just a short walk away, while the surrounding countryside offers a wealth of beautiful walks right on your doorstep. Complimenting its peaceful, close-knit feel, Exning remains incredibly practical, with the extensive amenities and transport links of Newmarket just a short drive away. The village is also perfectly positioned with excellent transport links to Ely, Bury St Edmunds and Cambridge.
Offered chain-free and ready for its next chapter, this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of local history with the versatility to suit any modern family. We invite you to step inside and discover the magic of this home for yourself—it might just be the one you have been waiting for.
