4 bed detached house for sale

Black Horse Drove, Littleport, Ely CB6

We are delighted to present to the market this deceptively spacious and versatile family home, situated on the outskirts of the popular town of Littleport and just over 200m walking distance to the Great Ouse River, providing excellent walks and scenic views.

Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate everything this unique property has to offer. Originally two cottages, the home has been thoughtfully combined to create one substantial residence, providing generous and flexible accommodation throughout. The property comprises an entrance hall, wet room, dining room, spacious lounge, home office, conservatory, refitted kitchen/breakfast room, utility room, lean-to, four double bedrooms, and a refitted family bathroom.

Externally, the former garage has been converted into a useful storage area but could easily be reinstated as a garage if required. To the front, there is ample off-road parking for approximately five to six vehicles. The beautifully landscaped rear garden features a timber pergola, attractive water feature, and enjoys open field views to both the rear and side, creating a wonderful outdoor setting.

Set within a plot of approximately 0.4 acres (sts), this impressive home is offered for sale with the added advantage of no onward chain.

Agents Note

Please note that the property was subject to a subsidence claim originally dating back to 2004. We are advised by the vendors that the claim was in relation to three new additions to the house, namely the single-storey kitchen, conservatory, and front porch. All three had ‘settled’ and were showing signs of stress where they were connected to the main house. We are advised the main house was unaffected. The original repair work was deemed to be sub-standard and the claim was re-opened in 2012 and the necessary work carried out. A certificate of Structural Adequacy was issued in 2013 stating the cause of the damage being due to root induced clay shrinkage. Mitigation measures were undertaken as well as superstructure repairs and redecoration.
