Welcome to Mile Hill Cottage, a beautiful and spacious four/five bedroom detached bungalow with views over Ely City, a gorgeous courtyard garden, and fully maintained expansive gardens included.
This well laid-out property comprises; entrance hall with space for coats/shoes, a large open-plan L- shaped kitchen and dining room which includes a large dining table and chair set, fridge-freezer, dishwasher and aga. A large understairs cupboard for extra storage is accessible from the kitchen, and on from here a door leads through to a separate utility room which comes with a washing machine, sink, and more storage. Coming through the utility room there is then a spacious shower-room. Off the dining area is a glass door through to the back porch which in turn leads onto the enclosed courtyard garden.
The property boasts two reception rooms, the first is a “snug” area with a woodburner (permission to use to be discussed), and the second is a spacious and bright living room with windows overlooking the sunny front garden. Upstairs offers landing access to all five bedrooms and family bathroom. The master bedroom is painted in blue/purple tones and comes with bespoke fitted wardrobes. Three additional bedrooms are all fairly similar in size and would support a double bed (one of which has a sink basin included for ease), and a further fifth bedroom/study is a single size and would act as a nice office space. The family bathroom is a four piece suite to include a large shower cubicle, clawfoot bath, sink unit and toilet, with patterned tile flooring and a heated towel rail.
Outside there are allocated parking spaces available for tenants to the left side half of the car park bay opposite the property, with the other half used by the neighbouring local business.
The courtyard garden next to the property is gated, private and secluded with views over the neighbouring field and has been landscaped to create a cosy sunny spot for peaceful enjoyment. There is access from here to the brick shed which provides tenants with additional storage. The front garden is laid with grass and offers stepping stones between the pathway to the front door and the side gate. Opposite the property, to the side of the gravelled parking area, is a little cut through which leads onto the expansive biodiversity area. Here there is plenty of space for use, including drying clothes on the supplied lines, but please note this area of the garden is not for exclusive use of the house nor is it fully enclosed.
The rent price for this unique cottage is deliberately set at around £250 pcm below market value as the Landlord is seeking a suitable tenant who is happy to take on a few responsibilities which come with sharing land with a neighbouring local business. Tenants will need to ensure the shared gates are open during the business’s opening hours, and closed correctly when out of opening hours. The parking area is shared with the business, but tenants will have space to park up to two cars. The electricity charge for the property will be invoiced separately from the rent to the tenants to pay, as the meters are located inside the business’s main building, but benefit from the solar installation to the property. Water costs are included in the rent price. Gardening of the adjacent open field garden is carried out routinely by the landlord, although it is predominantly left as an area of biodiversity.
