Detached house for sale in East Road, Isleham, Ely CB7

A stunning four-bedroom detached property, with a generous garden, in the beautiful rural village of Isleham, in the Fens of southeast Cambridgeshire. This property is perfectly positioned for someone wanting village life but who needs easy links to the A11 and A14. Isleham sits directly in the centre of Ely, Newmarket and Bury St Edmunds but is less than 20 miles from Cambridge. This makes it perfect for commuters or those that like to be close to more urban areas for work or leisure. It brings the best of both worlds. And schools? East Road is in the catchment area for Isleham C of E Primary School (0.6 miles), and children over 11 usually attend secondary school at nearby Soham Village College. Both schools were rated ‘Good’ in their most recent Ofsted inspections.

The property is positioned in a quiet cul-de-sac, set back from East Road. The graveled area at the front of the property has significant parking space, and to the left is a single garage, with electric door, and a secure gate leading to the rear garden. This property is truly pleasing to the eye, and anyone would be proud to call it home.

Once inside the house, you are greeted with a long hallway; directly in front of you are stairs leading up to the first floor, underneath which is a large under-stairs cupboard. This entrance area has plenty of space for a shoe rack and coat hooks – ideal for a family coming in from the school run. The sense of light and space hits you immediately upon entering the property; it truly does have the wow factor.

As you enter the property, the first room off the hallway is a sizeable rectangular-shaped living/dining room to your right, which overlooks the front of the property. This room is a great size, and with its neutral décor and large windows on two of the walls, the feeling of light continues to impress. There is also a built-in gas fire. The lounge has practical and attractive wood flooring in immaculate condition, which spills in from the hallway. The design of this space makes for the perfect environment for family life or socialising with friends; a good size table and chairs would fit comfortably alongside the lounge furniture. In fact, the whole property has been maintained and designed to an extremely high standard. The photos don’t do it justice; it’s a home you need to see to fully appreciate.

At the end of the living/dining room is a large conservatory built to a high standard. This room is an extension of the house, not just an ‘add-on’. This room is currently used as a second seating area but could double up as an office, gym or playroom. The options are endless, and the light that floods this room through the glass roof is a luxury, particularly during the summer months.

The next room off the hallway to your left is a good size utility room which sits directly behind the garage. A conveniently designed door leads into the back of the garage, and another leads into the rear garden. This room houses the boiler and has space for all white goods freeing up space in the kitchen. The kitchen is on the other side of the hallway, behind the living/dining room and looks out onto the rear of the property. This inviting and social area has a large breakfast bar in the centre and stools for a social kitchen environment, perfect for family life and entertaining. The kitchen benefits from fitted fridge, oven, hob, and dishwasher, while the cupboards are neutral, but the flash of colour from the tiles gives the whole room character.

The last room downstairs is the shower room with a shower cubicle (of course!), W.C., and a hand basin. There are also built-in storage cupboards, a heated towel rail and a wall-mounted vanity mirror.

Once upstairs, you reach a large landing that leads directly to all four bedrooms and the family bathroom. The first room you see almost directly in front of you is the main bedroom which overlooks the beautiful rear garden. This space is a generous size double and has a significant amount of built-in wardrobe space. Opposite bedroom one, back out on the landing, is a large cupboard; this property has no shortage of storage. Bedrooms two, three and four sit at the front of the property and are all generous size rooms too. Bedroom four is the smallest, but it would still make a lovely single bedroom, playroom or office space...so many options. The last room upstairs is the family bathroom, which has a bath, W.C., and a hand basin. This room has no shower, but one can be added over the bath if required.

Now comes the exciting part...the back garden! This space is any homeowner's dream. Most of the area is laid to lawn and established borders, both of which have been maintained to a high standard. At the end of the garden are raised beds and a place where the shed and greenhouse are tucked away neatly behind a screen. Next to the conservatory is an impressive patio area with plenty of room for garden furniture – and a barbecue! This space is perfect for entertaining or spending time with family outdoors. We said the property had the wow factor, but no more so than the garden. It is definitely a key feature and one to shout about.

The property comes with a single garage that sits to the left of the house and can also be accessed from the utility room inside the property.
