Description

Believed to date from before 1900, this charming detached residence began life as a traditional cottage and has since been substantially extended and thoughtfully adapted to create an exceptionally versatile home of considerable character.

Today the property comprises two separate dwellings arranged within one building, each benefiting from its own utilities and council tax band, together with a modern studio-style annexe situated off the driveway. This rare configuration offers outstanding potential for multi-generational living, independent guest accommodation or supplementary income, while also allowing the accommodation to be combined into one substantial residence if desired, subject to any necessary consents.

Rich in character throughout, the original cottage retains many of its period features, including exposed timbers and traditional fireplaces, which combine with later additions to create a property that is both distinctive and highly flexible.

Main House

A part-frosted double-glazed entrance door opens into the entrance hall, from which doors lead through to the principal reception rooms.

The living room is a particularly welcoming and characterful space, with two double-glazed windows to the front aspect allowing natural light to fill the room. Exposed ceiling timbers enhance the cottage charm, while two decorative fireplaces positioned to either side and a log-burning stove create an attractive focal point and a warm, inviting atmosphere.

A small step leads up to an inner hallway which provides access to a study and utility room, whilst also opening through to the kitchen. The utility room is fitted with tiled flooring and a range of base units with work surfaces, providing space for appliances, together with a double-glazed window to the side aspect. A door leads through to a cloakroom fitted with a low-level WC and wash hand basin.

The kitchen/breakfast room enjoys views over the rear garden via a double-glazed window and glazed door providing direct access outside. The kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of wall and base units with work surfaces over, incorporating a sink and drainer, four-ring hob and double high-level oven, together with integrated appliances and an oil-fired boiler.

From the kitchen, a doorway leads through to the dining room, providing a generous and sociable space for family dining and entertaining. A brick-built fireplace forms an attractive focal point, while a double-glazed window overlooks the rear garden.

A small inner hallway from the dining room provides stairs rising to the upper level and a stable door opening into the sitting room. Positioned to the front of the property, this bright and comfortable reception room benefits from double-glazed windows to the front aspect, creating a pleasant and relaxing space.

The upper level of the main house provides well-proportioned bedrooms together with a particularly spacious family bathroom fitted with a panelled bath, separate shower cubicle, low-level WC and twin wash hand basins with storage below. A double airing cupboard provides additional storage.

Second Dwelling

Positioned to the rear of the original cottage, the second residence forms a self-contained home that can either remain independent or be incorporated into the main house if required.

Accessed from the rear garden, an entrance lobby provides access to a cloakroom and leads into a spacious kitchen/dining room which forms the central hub of this accommodation. Offering ample room for both cooking and dining, the space provides a practical yet sociable environment for everyday living.

From here, an inner hallway provides stairs rising to the upper level and access to a cosy living room, where a fireplace creates an attractive focal point and a comfortable setting for relaxation.

The upper level provides two well-proportioned bedrooms with a four-piece bathroom suite positioned between them. The front bedroom connects to the first house via a small step, providing the flexibility to either maintain the two homes as separate dwellings or combine the accommodation into one larger residence depending on individual requirements.

Annexe Accommodation

A driveway provides access to a converted garage which has been thoughtfully transformed into a modern studio-style annexe.

The accommodation offers open-plan living space incorporating a contemporary fitted kitchen area together with a stylish shower room, creating comfortable and fully self-contained accommodation.

The annexe has previously been successfully utilised as short-term holiday accommodation, demonstrating its potential for guest stays or supplementary income, subject to any necessary consents. Alternatively, it could provide ideal accommodation for a family member, a home office or additional flexible living space.

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...
