Property description
This distinctive property forms part of the historic quarter in the centre of Ely and is a rarely available address within walking distance of the Cathedral and train station. The property has undergone a programme of renovation over recent years and has had a stunning addition of a garden room, providing a superb space to relax and entertain.
On the ground floor is the entrance lobby, with access to the cloakroom/utility with modern two-piece suite and space and plumbing for washing machine. The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a modern range of units with ample work surfaces, integrated appliances, an island unit, space for American-style fridge/freezer, and stairs to the first floor. Featured in the dining room and living room is exposed brick work and stripped floor boards, while the living room also enjoys an exposed brick chimney breast with inset stove providing a delightful focal point. The garden room is the most recent addition to the house and has been completed to a high specification, comprehensively glazed and insulated, with tiled floor and large French doors.
The first floor landing is flooded with natural light and provides access to a large storage cupboard and all three double bedrooms. In the master bedroom, there features a fire place with exposed brick chimney breast. Bedroom 4 is currently used as a study. All of the bedrooms benefit from refitted sash windows and a southerly aspect, again providing light, as well as an airy feel and stunning views over the courtyard and gardens. The family bathroom has a modern three-piece suite.
Outside, the property is accessible via an archway, with the original doors. There is a brick paved patio area and gravel drive providing off-street parking for two cars, with a tap and lighting. There is also access to the single garage with up-and-over door, power and light connected. A second personal door leads through to the garden room.
The rear garden is of particular note, beautifully stocked with an array of plants, shrubs, and trees creating a city oasis. It is enclosed, offering a large degree of privacy. The garden further benefits from two sheds, a manicured lawn, and two patio areas, ideal for alfresco dining and entertaining family and friends.
