Combining generous, flexible accommodation with a secluded setting, it is ideally suited to modern family and multi generational living, while remaining conveniently close to the city’s amenities, schools and transport links.

A welcoming entrance hall immediately conveys the impressive scale of the house and links the main reception spaces.

A further spacious living room provides excellent flexibility as a family room or informal entertaining space; wood flooring, a second inset log burning stove and sliding doors to a raised terrace create an easy connection with the garden that promote effortless indoor outdoor living.

At the heart of the home is an impressive split level kitchen/breakfast room, comprehensively upgraded in 2023 and designed as a central hub for family life. It is fitted with an extensive range of contemporary wall and base units, quartz work surfaces and a large central island providing additional preparation space and storage, along with a Quooker tap with Cube for instant boiling, chilled and sparkling water. A high quality suite of integrated Miele appliances includes double ovens, a steam oven, dishwasher and induction hob. A vaulted ceiling with multiple rooflights floods the space with natural light, while French doors open directly onto the patio and frame attractive views across the garden towards the swimming pool. Generous fitted storage further enhances everyday practicality. Additional ground floor accommodation includes a front facing study ideal for home working, a well equipped utility room with external access, a useful pantry cupboard and a conveniently positioned cloakroom.

Upstairs, a spacious landing leads to six well proportioned bedrooms and the family bathroom, offering outstanding flexibility for a growing family or guests. The principal bedroom suite is a luxurious private retreat with vaulted ceiling, generous proportions, a dressing area with fitted wardrobes and a stylish en suite bathroom featuring both a bath and walk in shower. A second double bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and its own en suite shower room, well suited to older children, guests or extended family. Four further double bedrooms provide ample additional accommodation and are served by a modern family bathroom with a large walk in shower and contemporary fittings.

The rear garden is a particular highlight, enjoying a high degree of privacy and offering a safe, enclosed environment for family recreation. A raised patio terrace provides an excellent space for outdoor dining and entertaining, overlooking the main lawned garden. The swimming pool has been refurbished by the current owners and enhanced with a Fast Lane swimming system, allowing resistance swimming for both leisure and fitness and adding a strong lifestyle element to the outside space.

In addition to its existing accommodation, the property offers notable future potential. There is scope for the development of an additional dwelling with independent access, subject to the necessary planning consents, which could suit a dependant relative, dedicated guest accommodation or more expansive multi generational living. This provides appealing long term adaptability for buyers wanting the option to evolve the property over time.

With its expansive, light filled interiors, secluded yet highly convenient setting, recently upgraded kitchen, refurbished performance swimming pool and meaningful scope for further development (subject to consent), Bell House presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and versatile family home in one of Ely’s most desirable and accessible locations.
