    About this property

    • A substantial detached modern house, with generous family accommodation, in this prestige location, developed within the grounds of the former Ely Grange country house estate. The estate is principally accessed by a long approach drive, through a gated entrance next to the Church, right in the heart of this very attractive and sought after village.

      The property is well presented throughout, offering generous family accommodation over three floors. Downstairs, there are three reception rooms with a large conservatory leading off from the sitting room, benefitting from a wonderful country outlook and giving access to a spacious terrace, in turn leading onto the rear garden. Also, there is an impressive kitchen/dining room of approximately 21'9 by 18'0 with outlook to the front. Upstairs, there are up to seven bedrooms, served by two bathrooms and two shower rooms, set over two floors, with three of these ensuite, including the principal suite, which benefits from fine views.

      To the front, a key feature is the secure automated entrance gate, leading to car parking and turning space and the detached double garage. Also, there is a fine countryside aspect from the rear large paved terrace and conservatory, which overlook the formal garden and large paddock beyond, blending together seamlessly, with mature trees framing the borders. In total, overall, the plot reaches about 3.58 acres.

    As a former village resident, I can see this prestige family home represents a rare opportunity. Tucked away from roads, though not isolated and very accessible to the varied village life, including cricket matches on the green, the Church and with its occasional evening music concerts and the village hall, along with the two ever popular pubs, which both offer day time and evening dining.
