PROPERTY DETAILS

A truly distinct and imposing Victorian double-fronted detached home, steeped in history and standing proudly in the heart of the village. This charming property, dating back to the 1800s, boasts an array of character features, including hardwood double-glazed sash windows to the front and spacious, well-proportioned rooms throughout.

Inside, you’ll find five bedrooms and four reception rooms, offering flexible living space to accommodate family life. The library is a book lover’s dream, complete with plentiful shelving and a feature fireplace that could be reinstated for added ambiance. The sitting room is a relaxing haven with its fireplace and elegant feature wood panelling, while the cosy snug with a wood burning stove creates a warm and intimate space that opens onto the delightful courtyard. The garden room is bright and airy, perfect for bringing the outdoors in.

The kitchen has been recently refitted with new units and worktops which are complemented by a warm terracotta-tiled floor. This leads conveniently onto the courtyard, making it ideal for al fresco dining. A utility room offers practical space, with the option to reinstate a WC to transform it back into an additional cloakroom. There’s also a downstairs toilet featuring its original Victorian door, adding to the property’s period charm.

Upstairs, the home offers five well propertioned bedrooms and two bathrooms, with the family bathroom featuring a walk-in shower, bath, sink with under-cabinet storage, and WC. The second bathroom provides a bath, sink, and WC.

At the end of the house, the large workshop - which in recent years operated as an artisan brewery - with dedicated power supply and plumbing offers endless possible uses including fantastic home office, creative studio, or additional living accommodation.

Outside, the courtyard and garden provide a tranquil escape, ideal for relaxing or entertaining.

With a rich history, this property has served both residential and commercial purposes, having once been a shoe shop and cobblers. With its prime location in the village centre, just steps away from shops, cafes, takeaways, and a historic local pub, the potential for mixed-use or further development remains an exciting prospect.

For commuters, Littleport Station is just a 10-minute walk away, offering direct trains to Ely, Cambridge, London Kings Cross, and King’s Lynn. The A10 is easily accessible, and the stunning Cathedral City of Ely is just a 10-minute drive.

With significant updates made by the current owners yet still brimming with potential for further enhancement, this is a rare opportunity to own a remarkable and versatile property in a sought-after village location. Could this be your perfect blend of history, charm, and future opportunity?
