Welcome to the epitome of country living in the charming village of Upend. This beautifully renovated and extended four-bedroom farmhouse seamlessly combines modern luxury with the timeless charm of a period house. The entire property is embraced by underfloor heating, ensuring a cozy ambiance throughout. With five bedrooms, three reception rooms, and four bathrooms, this detached house offers a spacious interior for comfortable family living and entertaining. The allure of traditional features is enhanced by contemporary finishes, creating a harmonious blend of old-world charm and modern convenience.

With no chain, this farmhouse is a unique opportunity to embrace a lifestyle of serenity and sophistication. In addition to the main house, there is an array of outbuildings, including The Barn, which is expected to soon have full planning permission for a four-bedroom detached dwelling.

Outside:

Nestled in a rural location, the property provides breathtaking south facing views, offering a tranquil escape. The expansive garden features a patio for outdoor dining and entertaining. Abundant parking adds to the convenience, while large open fronted barns/car ports provide versatile spaces for various purposes. Within the courtyard of outbuildings and shelters is the ‘gym’, which is closest to the property and accessed via a roller door just beside the front terrace. “The Barn” is positioned beside the driveway, idyllically placed to become a separate dwelling or perhaps an annexe to the main house.

Location:

Lower Farm is set in unspoilt countryside, in the charming rural hamlet of Upend. The neighbouring village of Cheveley offers local services with a shop/Post Office, primary school, Church, and public house. The nearby horseracing town of Newmarket provides a good range of amenities including schools, shops, supermarkets, hotels, restaurants, and leisure facilities, including health clubs, a swimming pool and golf club; Cambridge and Bury St Edmunds offer further amenities. There is excellent access to the A14 and A11 (M11). There is a branch line connection from Newmarket to Cambridge and Ipswich. Cambridge, Audley End and Whittlesford offer direct rail lines into London, with the fastest trains taking under one hour. Stansted International Airport is approximately 36 miles.

Agents Notes:

The Barn, positioned to the right of the main house, is expected to have full planning permission at the point of exchanging contracts. At present, an application is being processed. Any questions on this matter should be directed to Luke Johnson at Carter Jonas.
