Property Insight
Set on a leafy road within about a mile of Newmarket's High Street and half a mile of the railway station, this Edwardian semi-detached home offers around 2,000 sq ft of characterful accommodation arranged over three floors, above a useful basement. The red-brick and rendered elevations, gabled roofline and generous bay windows give the house real period presence, and much of that character carries through inside - high ceilings, decorative plaster cornicing, original fireplaces and wood flooring running across the ground floor. It is well placed for families too, within catchment for both Newmarket Academy and Bottisham Village College at senior level, and close to Newmarket Leisure Centre with its gym, sports and leisure facilities, as well as the racecourses, the town centre and the station.

The entrance hall sets the tone with warm wood flooring that runs through the ground floor. To the front, the living room draws light from a large bay window, with high ceilings, an ornate plaster cornice and frieze, a picture rail and an original wood-surround fireplace with a tiled and cast-iron inset as its focal point. Along the hall, the dining room continues the period theme with decorative cornicing, stripped timber floorboards and a fireplace, and has dual access from both the hall and the garden room. At the rear, the kitchen is fitted with cream units and granite worktops, a range-style cooker with gas hob, integrated appliances and a central island, opening to the side and into the garden room - a striking, light-filled space wrapped in glazing beneath a lantern roof, framed by exposed brickwork and laid to a terracotta-tiled floor, with double doors onto the garden. A basement below adds two store rooms, a laundry area and a cellar.

Upstairs, the first floor holds three bedrooms, a family bathroom and a separate WC. The principal bedroom is a generous double at the front with a bay window and an original fireplace, while the second bedroom is a further double overlooking the garden, also with a period fireplace, and the third a single with built-in wardrobes. On the second floor are two more bedrooms and a shower room, both bedrooms carrying characterful sloping ceilings with restricted head height, and one currently used as a study. Outside, the rear garden is arranged with a paved patio, a lawn and composite decking at the far end, enclosed by mature planting and brick walls, with an outside tap and electric hook-up. A single garage completes the property. A characterful family home in one of Newmarket's established residential streets.
