Description
From the outside Alder House exudes charm and character, the quintessential chocolate box home. It continues to wow the minute you step foot inside with the abundance of original features you would expect in a property of this nature. From a spectacular inglenook fireplace to stunning herringbone brickwork and original winding staircase.
Alder House has been thoughtfully apportioned to create spaces for all the family. Gather in the bright open plan kitchen to entertain. Retreat to the cosy living room for a quiet evening in front of the fire. Throw open the courtyard doors for a call from the home office. This is a truly versatile property.
The newly fitted high-specification kitchen is stunning and perfectly complements the contemporary oak beamed and glazed extension designed by award winning PIP architects. This beautiful modern living space brings the whole family together and opens out onto the large, countryside garden.
The current owners describe this as an all-year-round home, full of versatile spaces to suit every mood. Taking full advantage of the sunniest spot in the garden is a striking architect-designed outdoor kitchen and sun deck which has featured in popular design magazines. Created from rustic oak beams and stone walling, it has every need covered, with a built-in grill, sink and drinks fridge, a log-burning stove, and a hot-tub with heated outdoor shower.
The generous plot of approximately half an acre (STMS) is mainly a well-established garden, containing a small orchard, wildlife pond, children's play zone and attractive mature trees providing dappled shade across the well-kept lawn.
The upstairs of the home has been as carefully thought through as the rest. To one side of the building, the original winding staircase steps up to a guest bedroom in the eaves, bathed in natural light through the dual aspect windows. The main staircase on the other side leads to a spacious landing, with three well-proportioned bedrooms and two modern bathrooms.
To the front of the house, two of the bedrooms have gorgeous sloping ceilings framed by original beams with cosy window seats and enticing corners to curl up with a good book. The principal bedroom is a true haven, enjoying the morning sun whilst benefiting from generous built-in storage and a stylish contemporary en-suite shower room.
Above the double garage, the self-contained annexe is currently a lucrative holiday let providing additional passive income and also offers generous guest accommodation for family and friends.
This charming, five bedroom detached house is a property designed for all seasons, which enjoys a peaceful location right on the edge of the historic cathedral city of Ely. With direct links to Cambridge and London, it is perfect for someone new to call their forever home.
COVENEY Coveney is northwest of the city of Ely in Cambridgeshire.
Just under 4 miles away England's second smallest city, Ely, boasts green spaces, a charming waterfront and traditional streets to explore. The magnificent Cathedral dominates the skyline for miles around and is one of the country's largest and most beautiful. Known locally as the 'Ship of the Fens' it is famous for its unique Octagon tower, a wonder of the medieval world.
Enjoy sampling the delights of the many cafes and restaurants, visit the art galleries around the waterfront, or simply take time out to relax and watch the river boats pass by. Visit the former home of Oliver Cromwell and his family, perhaps Ely's most famous historical resident, or discover the city's history at the recently redeveloped Ely Museum.
There's a plethora of independent shops alongside the essential high street staples and a weekly schedule of locally renowned markets.
Further afield, the unique unspoilt countryside of East Cambridgeshire is there to be explored. Reclaimed from their natural marsh state, the peat-black Fens are criss-crossed by waterways and blessed by glorious sunsets and big dramatic skies. The towns and villages are delightfully rural, many with riverside locations and their own independent shops and public houses.
Ely has a rail station with excellent national links and an hourly train service running to London. Close by is the wold famous academic centre of Cambridge, with its stunning architecture and majestic college buildings. Also a near neighbour is thriving Newmarket, home of horse racing, and the coastlines of North Norfolk and Suffolk are just over an hour's drive away,
SERVICES CONNECTED Mains water, electricity and drainage. Oil fired central heating to main house and electric heating to the flat above the garage.
