Ely Road, Fordham, PE38

A wonderful opportunity to acquire a unique, detached former Gatehouse, steeped in railway history and full of individuality and charm. Constructed in Victorian times to serve the former rail line that passed by, it has been a residential home for many years and occupied by the same family ever since. It now provides accommodation that includes 3 bedrooms upstairs along with 2 reception rooms and a bathroom downstairs. An extension to the rear has occurred which has produced a kitchen/breakfast room measuring over 15ft along with an adjoining utility. The building has clearly been well maintained over time although there is scope to modernise it further. Positioned along a small, Village road enjoying views over fields and farmland, it also enjoys a private, mature plot comprising well cared for gardens (the photograph listed shows an indication as to the boundaries only). In addition, there is plentiful parking, sectional garage and storage sheds. Being sold with no onward chain, this is truly a rare opportunity in which to acquire and enjoy this Cottage in its current form or to transform it into something even more special.
