Description
Greenleaves cottage is a pretty pre 1900 farmhouse on a very large plot (about half an acre) in East Cambridgeshire next to woodland with views over farmland bordering an ancient Anglo-Saxon monument/Dyke. The farmhouse is within 10 minutes walk of the ‘July Racecourse’ and is conveniently located to commute to London or Cambridge from the A11 and A14.
Uninterrupted panoramic views of the countryside and woodlands are a key part of the living space and the unique selling point for this well positioned little country cottage. A private gated entrance leads to a long driveway, large detached garage and useful restored outbuilding. This annex has an ensuite shower-room and is used as a home office and fourth guest bedroom. An entrance porch leads to a hallway with multiple bespoke matching storage cabinets. The cloakroom/WC has porcelain tiled floors and walls and the dual-aspect sitting room includes a multi-fuel AGA stove using the chimney that runs through the centre of the cottage. The beautifully designed kitchen includes wooden cabinets and all fully integrated AEG appliances with Butler sink - overlooking landscaped gardens. Adjoining is a generous dual aspect Reading room/Library with fully fitted floor to ceiling bookcases. The kitchen leads to an Orangery/dining room extension, a gorgeous room for entertaining with views over woodlands and gardens. The Orangery, with a lantern roof, is flooded with natural light and is a beautiful space surrounded by newly planted olive trees and fig trees connecting indoor and outdoor living with a patio seating area.
The first floor offers three generous double bedrooms, including built-in wardrobes/cabinets. All three rooms have far reaching views. The family bathroom has fully porcelain tiled floor and walls and includes an L shaped jacuzzi bathtub with separate shower. Throughout, the property retains an abundance of character, including Victorian-style radiators, original window sills and traditional ceramic Butler sink, whilst seamlessly incorporating modern comforts such as downdraft extractors, under-plinth kitchen lighting, efficient heating technology and an array of thoughtful finishing touches. Outside, the centre point of the gardens is a magnificent old Robinia pseudoacacia, a deciduous tree with fragrant white flowers in hanging clusters. An ideal hardwood tree for a tree house. The gardens have been professionally landscaped and all fruit trees pruned and many trees/bushes removed and replaced with trees and plants that thrive on chalky soil - fig trees and olive trees, Eucalyptus and Cherry Blossom. A peaceful colourful new garden has been created, with much seasonal interest using scented plants as well as fruit and ornamental trees. The gardens provide uninterrupted, panoramic views across open rolling countryside, offering an idyllic backdrop rarely found. The farmhouse benefits from a well-maintained Victorian engineered septic tank, which is in excellent working order.
Greenleaves cottage is a farmhouse offered to the market chain-free, and is in turnkey condition, freshly renovated and decorated and ready for immediate occupation. Newmarket High Street is a 35 minute walk or a short cycle ride away . The railway station is within easy reach.
