PROPERTY DETAILS

A Spacious Family Home Surrounded by Nature

If you’re looking for a home that offers both peace and practicality, this four-bedroom gem is just the place! Tucked away on the Norfolk/Cambridgeshire border at Welney, just 10 minutes drive from Littleport and by an internationally renowned wildlife reserve, this property gives you front-row seats to nature’s finest displays—just imagine watching swans in flight from your own garden! And for those times you need a taste of city life, Ely is just 20 minutes drive away, with excellent transport links to Cambridge and London.

Room to Breathe – Inside and Out

This charming home was rebuilt in 2006 to reflect the character of the original Victorian school building from 1847, and it’s packed with warmth and personality. With four double bedrooms (two en-suite), numerous reception rooms, and a layout that flows beautifully, this house adapts effortlessly to modern family life. Plus, with underfloor heating on both floors, you’ll stay toasty in winter without having to battle for radiator space!

As you enter through the gated driveway, you’ll be greeted by a sweeping front garden, home to three magnificent 150-year-old Sequoia trees—still youngsters by their species’ standards! The rear garden is just as impressive, offering a mature and private outdoor space with fruit trees, vibrant wildlife, and plenty of room to relax or entertain.

Flexible Living with a Touch of Character

Downstairs, the home offers a variety of reception rooms to suit every need. Whether it’s the grand sitting room with its large bay window, the open-plan dining area perfect for gatherings, or the extra rooms that could be a playroom, study, or library, there’s no shortage of space to make your own. A second sitting room at the back of the house provides a bright and airy retreat with southeast-facing views over the lush garden.

A Kitchen with Heart

No country home is complete without a cosy, welcoming kitchen, and this one does not disappoint! At its heart is a classic four-oven Aga, perfect for chilly mornings, with an additional hob and oven for summer cooking. White cabinets, granite worktops, and two built-in sinks offer style and practicality, while space for a breakfast table makes it a lovely spot to start the day.

Upstairs Retreat

Head upstairs, and you’ll find four generous double bedrooms, two with their own en-suites. The master suite is a sanctuary of space, with charming dormer windows and views over both the front and back gardens. The family bathroom features double sinks, a large bath, and even a bidet—because why not? Storage is no issue either, with loft access and plenty of room to keep everything in order.

A Perfect Blend of Rural Tranquillity and City Convenience

With its serene location, spacious interiors, and thoughtful design, this home truly offers the best of both worlds. Step outside, and you’re immersed in nature, with birdsong and butterflies all around. Yet, you’re never far from excellent schools in Ely, a friendly local pub, and great transport links—Littleport station is 10 minutes away, getting you to Ely in 10 minutes (with links to Norwich & Peterborough), Cambridge in 25 minutes and London in under an hour and a half.

If you’re looking for a home with space, character, and a connection to nature, this one is waiting to welcome you!
