Description

Hockeys are delighted to introduce Cedar Barn—an outstanding and highly individual Grade II listed residence, believed to date back to the mid-1800s. Originally an agricultural barn, this remarkable property was sympathetically restored and meticulously renovated in 2010, blending original charm with contemporary comfort.

Set behind traditional weather-boarded elevations and a classic pantile roof, Cedar Barn enjoys a peaceful and private setting in the heart of the village, complete with a detached double garage, sweeping gravel driveway, and beautifully landscaped gardens.

Step through the front door into a breathtaking double-height entrance hall, where exposed timber beams, a galleried landing, and an abundance of natural light immediately showcase the barn’s architecture and thoughtful restoration. This striking space makes a memorable first impression and offers a seamless transition to the rest of the home.

The living room is warm and inviting, rich in character and charm. Original exposed beams and oak flooring are complemented by a log-burning stove, set within a brick fireplace—an ideal focal point for cosy winter evenings. With generous proportions and garden views, this room is perfect for both relaxing and entertaining.

The kitchen expertly blends rustic style with modern practicality. Painted shaker-style units are topped with solid wood worktops, and a classic Belfast sink sits beneath a window overlooking the garden. A recently installed dishwasher and washing machine, along with a range cooker, complete this stylish and functional space. The open-plan layout flows into the dining room, where French doors lead out onto the terrace—perfect for indoor-outdoor living in the warmer months.

A cloakroom/WC and a useful storage cupboard add further practicality on the ground floor.

Upstairs, the galleried landing offers a stunning view over the entrance hall and leads to four generously sized bedrooms, each featuring original elements such as exposed beams, vaulted ceilings, and picturesque views of the gardens.

The principal bedroom is a calm and elegant retreat, with space for a super king-sized bed, built-in wardrobes, and a beautifully finished en suite shower room featuring high-quality fixtures and contemporary tiling. The second bedroom also comfortably accommodates a super king-sized bed, offering generous proportions ideal for guests or family. The remaining bedrooms are served by a luxurious family bathroom, complete with a freestanding roll-top bath, traditional-style fittings, and natural stone finishes—perfectly in keeping with the barn’s character.

Outside, the grounds have been thoughtfully landscaped to enhance the property’s natural charm. A substantial paved terrace is ideal for al fresco dining, while an ornamental pond adds a sense of tranquillity. Enclosed by an attractive brick wall, the garden features manicured lawns, mature shrubs, and vibrant borders—perfect for entertaining or peaceful enjoyment.

Isleham is an attractive village surrounded by open countryside with great local facilities and a splendid community. Facilities include a range of shops, community centre, sporting facilities, post office, primary school, fine dining restaurant and three public houses plus playparks for the children and much more. Conveniently located close to the historic horse racing town of Newmarket and Soham with great secondary school and bustling town centre both of these large towns include a huge range of further amenities, bustling high streets, and superb transport links via the train stations.

Why Newmarket?

Newmarket, a small but thriving market town rich in history, is located just 12 miles northeast of Cambridge and is world-renowned for its deep connection to the horse racing industry. Nestled within the lush landscapes of Suffolk, this town has been a centre of equestrian activity since the reign of King James I in the early 17th century, earning it the title 'the centre of horseracing in Britain'. A little fact for the historians amongst you: the first recorded race meeting actually took place in 1622...so a few years back now.

Home to over 3,500 racehorses, more than 60 horse training stables, and two large racetracks (the Rowley Mile and the July Course), not to mention the famous Jockey Club, Newmarket hosts some of the finest horseracing in the world. The town is also home to the National Stud and the National Horseracing Museum, preserving its rich heritage for future generations to come. However, if music is more your thing, there are several popular live music events throughout the year.

Newmarket's history, combined with its modern amenities and beautiful architecture (Grade II listed buildings are dotted everywhere), make it a desirable blend of old and new.

Transport Links

The historic market town of Newmarket is located between the university city of Cambridge and Bury St Edmunds on the Suffolk/Cambridgeshire border. It has excellent access to the A14, A11 and M11, making the commute to London a breeze (...that may be an exaggeration). For those not so keen on commuting by car, the town's railway station has direct services to Cambridge, Ely, and Bury St Edmunds, with connections to London King's Cross and London Liverpool Street available via Cambridge.

For international travel, Stansted Airport is approximately 30 miles away, offering flights to numerous destinations across Europe. Whatever your reason for travel, you have a number of flexible options.

Social Scene

Newmarket has a wide range of social amenities, including hotels, public houses, restaurants, and leisure facilities; there is even a golf club for those with a passion for being outdoors on a weekend. There really is something for everyone, and we haven't even covered the social events and evening classes in the area...of which there are many.

The town has well-maintained parks, such as the Severals, which is a popular spot for families, dog walkers and joggers alike. The Newmarket Leisure Centre is also a hub for sports and fitness enthusiasts, offering a swimming pool, gym, and sports courts for the health-conscious amongst us. If you prefer arts and culture, the Kings Theatre, a small but vibrant venue, hosts a range of performances, from amateur dramatics to live music. Maybe you want to indulge in it all, and we wouldn't blame you!

Schools

If you are moving to Newmarket with children (or hoping to have them) and looking for schools, the area provides several educational options, making it an attractive location for families. The town has a mix of primary and secondary schools, both state and independent. Houldsworth Valley Primary Academy, in particular, has received extensive positive feedback for its nurturing environment and has become a popular choice among residents. There are also several independent schools in the surrounding area, offering a variety of specialised programs. Take your pick.

Eateries and Shops

Newmarket's town centre has a crazy number of eateries, public houses, and shops that cater to a variety of palates. From traditional British pubs like The White Hart to modern cafes such as Nancy's Vintage Teashop, there is an eatery for every taste. The town also has several fine dining establishments, including the award-winning The Packhorse Inn, serving contemporary British cuisine.

For those who enjoy a bit of retail therapy, the Guineas Shopping Centre is the main retail hub, featuring a range of high-street brands and independent boutiques. Whether you want a butcher, baker or candlestick maker, Newmarket has you covered. The popular local market is held on Tuesdays and Saturdays, between 9am - 3pm, and hosts a variety of different stalls, ranging from fruit and vegetables, cakes, jewellery, flowers and fine food and drink; trust us when we say we have tested every single one of them - well almost!

So, is Newmarket the place for you to lay down some roots? It seems like a fantastic choice for us! But then again, we are biased...
