Cambridge Road, Ely, CB7

This substantial five bedroomed detached residence is a fine example of the Arts & Crafts style, dating back to 1928, and sits within a plot of almost quarter of an acre (STS) close to the city centre.

Located in a highly regarded area close to Kings School and within walking distance of the railway station, the property offers a rare opportunity for those seeking a family home with character and potential.

The generous accommodation includes an expansive reception hall, a spacious sitting room, and a formal dining room, all of which benefit from the original features and proportions typical of the period. The kitchen/breakfast room offers further space for family living and entertaining. Upstairs, five well-proportioned bedrooms provide ample space for a growing family or for those requiring home office or guest accommodation. Outside there is a driveway and mature garden providing a great space for families and keen gardeners alike.

The property does require modernisation, offering a blank canvas for buyers to create their ideal home. With no upward chain, the house is available for immediate purchase and due to the rarity of this type of property within Ely a viewing is highly recommended.
