Chapel Street, Stretham, CB6

A substantial and beautifully extended detached period home, positioned within the highly regarded village of Stretham, just a short distance from Ely. Offering in excess of 2,250 sq ft of accommodation, the property has been thoughtfully reconfigured and upgraded by the current owners to create a superb balance of character, space, and modern living.

The ground floor is particularly well arranged, with a natural flow between formal and informal spaces. A generous entrance hall provides access to a front-facing sitting room with working fireplace, ideal as a cosy retreat or study, while a separate dining room offers a more formal entertaining space.

To the rear, the property opens into an impressive open-plan kitchen/breakfast room, forming the central hub of the home. The kitchen is comprehensively fitted with a wide range of wall and base units, complemented by a central island, induction hob, double oven, hot water tap, and plate warming drawer. French doors open directly onto the garden, creating an ideal connection between indoor and outdoor living. A utility room and cloakroom are conveniently positioned alongside.

Undoubtedly a standout feature is the striking vaulted living room, extending to over 25ft in length and flooded with natural light via Velux roof windows. This exceptional space provides a superb main reception area, ideal for both relaxing and entertaining.

Upstairs, a galleried landing with contemporary wood and glass staircase leads to four well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal suite is particularly well designed, incorporating a dressing area, walk-in wardrobe, and a stylish ensuite shower room. French doors open to a Juliette balcony, enjoying views over the rear garden.

Three further bedrooms are served by a spacious family bathroom, fitted with a freestanding bath, separate shower enclosure, and large vanity basin, all finished to a high standard.

Externally, the property continues to impress. A paved driveway provides off-road parking, with gated side access leading to a generous and private rear garden. The outdoor space has been thoughtfully landscaped to include a large entertaining patio, a further recessed seating area, and a lawned garden centred around an ornamental pond with bridge.

Of particular note is the substantial detached outbuilding, extending to over 35ft, currently utilised as a studio/home office. This highly versatile space offers excellent potential for a variety of uses including workspace, gym, or additional reception.

Further benefits include recently updated windows, doors and radiators, underfloor heating to the principal living areas and bathrooms, and a discreetly positioned oil tank.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a character home of genuine scale, offering flexible accommodation ideally suited to modern family life.
