Alexander Chase, Ely, Cambridgeshire

REF:AS01 Situated within the popular Alexander Chase development in Ely, this substantial four-bedroom detached family home offers an impressive amount of accommodation, with generous room proportions, several separate reception spaces, a south-facing rear garden and a double garage with additional storage.

One of the property’s greatest strengths is the versatility of its layout. Unlike many newer homes, where living accommodation is largely incorporated into one open-plan space, this property benefits from a number of individual rooms, allowing families to enjoy both sociable areas and quieter spaces independently.

The ground floor begins with a useful entrance hall, leading through to the main hallway and a separate study. The study is positioned towards the front of the property and provides an ideal working-from-home space, although it could equally accommodate a playroom or snug depending on individual requirements.

The living room is particularly well-proportioned, with a feature fireplace and double doors opening through to the dining room. This arrangement allows the two rooms to work independently or together, particularly when entertaining. The dining room itself is another generous space, enjoying an attractive bay window arrangement overlooking the rear garden, with French doors opening directly onto the patio.

The kitchen is positioned towards the rear of the property and incorporates a central island, a range of fitted cabinetry and integrated appliances. An adjoining utility room provides additional workspace, laundry facilities and direct access outside, keeping the more practical elements of everyday life separate from the main living accommodation. A ground-floor cloakroom completes this level.

Upstairs, the spacious landing provides access to four bedrooms, including a particularly substantial principal bedroom with fitted wardrobes and a private en-suite shower room. The remaining bedrooms are served by a separate family bathroom, whilst additional built-in storage and access to the partially boarded loft provide further practicality.

Outside, the south-facing rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn, with a paved patio, pergola and established shrubs and trees. There is plenty of space for outdoor seating, entertaining and family activities, with the benefit of a southerly aspect.

A particularly valuable feature of the property is the extensive storage and garaging provision. The double garage benefits from power, lighting and additional loft storage, whilst a separate substantial storeroom provides even more flexibility for hobbies, equipment or general household storage. The driveway offers generous off-road parking, adding to the overall practicality of the home.

Alexander Chase remains a popular residential location within Ely, offering convenient access to the city centre, local schools, everyday amenities and transport connections. Ely itself is renowned for its historic cathedral, attractive riverside, excellent selection of independent businesses and mainline railway station, with services towards Cambridge and London.

Altogether, this is a particularly spacious and versatile detached home, offering the sort of room proportions, storage and separation of living accommodation that can be increasingly difficult to find, particularly in more recently constructed properties.
