Briars End, Witchford, Ely, CB6

This substantially extended four bedroom home offers considerably more space and flexibility than its frontage might initially suggest, creating an excellent option for families wanting village life while remaining within easy reach of Ely.

Set in a quiet residential position, the property has evolved into a genuinely versatile family home. The ground floor centres around a generous sitting room, leading through to the kitchen and dining room, while to the rear a bright garden room provides an additional everyday living space with large areas of glazing and direct views across the garden.

One of the property's real strengths is the accommodation created from the former garage. The front section has been retained as useful secure storage, while the rear has been converted into a substantial office and utility room. Currently providing an ideal set up for working from home alongside laundry facilities, the room could equally work as a playroom, hobby room or even an occasional downstairs bedroom, giving the house additional flexibility for teenagers, guests or multi generational living.

The extension continues above the garage, where a particularly generous principal bedroom has been created. This is complemented by a large private en-suite shower room and gives the house a much stronger main bedroom than you would typically expect to find in homes of this style.

There are three further bedrooms on the first floor, giving three comfortable double bedrooms in total alongside a fourth single bedroom which would work particularly well as a child's bedroom, nursery or second home office. A modern family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms, while a downstairs cloakroom adds further practicality for busy family life.

Outside, the block paved frontage provides off road parking, with the retained garage section offering valuable storage for bikes, tools and general family clutter. Gated access leads around to the enclosed rear garden, which offers a good balance of lawn and entertaining space. A decked seating area sits beneath mature trees towards the rear, creating a pleasant spot for summer dining while still leaving plenty of room for children and pets.

For buyers who need bedrooms, work from home space and more than one reception area without sacrificing a village setting, Briars End offers a surprisingly substantial and adaptable home.

Location

Witchford is a well established Cambridgeshire village approximately three miles west of Ely, offering the quieter pace and community feel of village life while keeping the city's shops, transport links and amenities within easy reach. The village itself has a Post Office and village store, pub, takeaway, community facilities and a village hall with a large playing field, while Lancaster Way Business Park on the edge of the village provides further employment and commercial facilities.

For families, one of Witchford's strongest attractions is having both primary and secondary education within the village. The Rackham Church of England Primary School and Pre-School was inspected by Ofsted in October 2024, judged 'Good'.

Witchford Village College provides secondary education for ages 11 to 16 and is currently rated 'Good' by Ofsted.

Nearby Ely provides the broader range of facilities expected from a small city, with supermarkets, independent shops, cafés, restaurants, leisure facilities, the popular riverside, regular markets and the landmark Ely Cathedral.

Ely is also particularly useful for commuters. Ely railway station provides regular services towards Cambridge and London, with journeys to Cambridge taking around 15 to 20 minutes and direct services also available towards London King's Cross and London Liverpool Street.

The result is a location that works particularly well for families who want the schools, space and community of a village without feeling cut off from employment, shopping and transport links in Ely and Cambridge.
