Church Street, Deeping St. James, Cambridgeshire, PE6

Carefully shaped over decades to balance its historic origins this four bedroom character cottage with riverside views is situated on one of the most sought-after roads in Deeping St James. It has grown organically, with thoughtful extensions ensuring that the living spaces still honour the building's original soul with modern practicality.

Exposed beams overhead and original brickwork ground the home in its heritage. Unlike a modern build there is a natural flow here, a sequence of rooms that offer both areas for gathering like the sociable Family Kitchen and quieter corners for retreat such as the Lounge and Sitting Room.

Upstairs, you'll find four double bedrooms, the family bathroom and a separate WC all well proportioned for family life, including a fantastic Principal Suite overlooking the garden and river views beyond plus benefiting from an Ensuite Shower Room.

The journey through the house eventually leads you to its finest asset: the garden. The lawn leads down to the water's edge where the pace of life slows significantly. Here, a private timber deck and a well placed summer house offer a vantage point over the river, providing a quiet space to observe the local wildlife. It is a rare, tranquil spot that feels entirely removed from the bustle of the day.

The location of the cottage manages to feel both private and perfectly positioned for the best that Deeping has to offer. Just along the road, a local cafe provides an easy spot for a morning coffee, while the The Waterton Arms is only a short walk away for an evening meal. With a private driveway for off road parking and plenty of additional space on the street for visitors, the practicalities are well covered.

Kitchen Diner

5.35m x 4.8m - 17'7" x 15'9"
The composite, country style front door leads into the Dining Kitchen, a spacious and sociable kitchen with charming exposed brickwork and a glazed door leading out to garden patio. We're certain this will be the hub of the home! Complete with cream cabinetry, solid wood worktops, a Butler style sink and space for a range style cooker. The current table comfortably hosts 8 - 10 people and there is even still room to accommodate a sofa or maybe two wing chairs for your morning coffee spot. This space is unbelievably welcoming yet practical throughout.

Inner Hall

4.32m x 2.24m - 14'2" x 7'4"
Found between the Kitchen and Sitting Room, this practical space offers the stairs to the first floor with the Downstairs Cloakroom tucked away beneath. A window to the garden provides a framed view as you come down the stairs and space beside it could be used for a mini library or maybe built in boot room area.

Sitting Room

3.38m x 2.84m - 11'1" x 9'4"
This cosy Sitting Room is a tranquil spot to sit with a good book. A fully glazed door leads out from here to the garden, so you can enjoy the view in peace. This would also make a great Study space and has gorgeous character features too such as an internal window to the inner hall and wooden original doors.

Lounge

5.42m x 3.76m - 17'9" x 12'4"
Next, you come to the Living Room - this surprising home has so much to offer! Stoke up that wood burning stove for those winter evenings and the feature fireplace is a wonderful focal point that brings further charm to the home. The original Entrance to the cottage is also here which can still be used to welcome guests rather than the Kitchen, otherwise it's bonus storage!

Downstairs Cloakroom

Tucked away under the stairs, accessed from the Inner Hallway, it's super handy to have a cloakroom downstairs complete with a hand basin and WC.

Landing

The staircase splits left to the Principal bedroom suite and right to the three further bedrooms, family bathroom and WC. Exposed brick and beams add further interest to this endearing space.

Principal Bedroom

5.38m x 4.8m - 17'8" x 15'9"
Your sanctuary awaits... providing plenty of space for a king size bed, wardrobes and further furniture, plus those riverside views can be enjoyed through two large windows to the rear aspect. Like the rest of the home, character features are showcased here too with the exposed brick of the original external wall.

Ensuite Shower Room

A slice of convenience and luxury this modern shower room is fitted with a corner shower cubicle, low level WC and wash hand basin.

Bedroom 3

2.95m x 3.85m - 9'8" x 12'8"
Sitting to the front of the home next to the bathroom this bedroom is currently presented as a single bedroom, though it could easily accommodate a double bed and has built-in wardrobes too for extra storage.

Bedroom 2

2.95m x 3.85m - 9'8" x 12'8"
The next bedroom along the landing is the another double bedroom painted in a light pink hue with a vaulted ceiling and glorious view to wake up to in the morning!

Bedroom 4

2.27m x 2.89m - 7'5" x 9'6"
Wow, what a view! This maybe the fourth bedroom in size, but it still makes an impact... Currently a creative hobbies room there's built-in over stairs storage and enough floorspace to be a generous single bedroom if required.

Family Bathroom

2.34m x 2.28m - 7'8" x 7'6"
The family bathroom is neutrally decorated and fitted with a shower over the bath and a hand basin, a practical space that serves the three bedrooms on this side of the home. The separate WC is found next door, making the bathroom feel light and spacious.

WC

It's super handy to have a separate WC from the family bathroom to avoid the queues building up in the morning rush!

Garden

We know you will spend many happy hours out in this generous and established garden which reaches all the way down to the Riverside. You'll find a tranquil summer house and decking to relax with a glass of wine and watch the wildlife! The garden boasts plenty of storage and seating areas to capture the sunshine all throughout the day including a patio area by the kitchen, space to store the logs by the sitting room and even a green house and vegetable patch to grow your own produce! Real country living!
