A beautifully restored and interior designed Grade II listed farmhouse situated in a private setting in the desirable village of Elsworth.
The owners have meticulously invested into the look and feel of the entire property and its grounds. The house has a truly warm and inviting feel to it providing a real opportunity to enjoy lifestyle living. It features cast iron ornate radiators and valves, period style light switches, marble mantles, a walk in fireplace with huge log burning stove, feature beams and much more. The house has 4 quite different and relaxing reception rooms, each with unique and attractive features, beautiful flooring and lighting with shutters dressing the sash windows.An absolute highlight of the property is the utterly gorgeous and extra-large kitchen, living and dining area complete with underfloor heating below a tumbled limestone floor. The oak cabinetry is mostly freestanding with marble countertops, built in Bosch microwave and high tech Bosch Oven together with a Smeg Classic stainless steel freestanding cooker with induction hob. Understated low voltage lighting complements the natural light from the two impressive Georgian windows. There are inner hallways to the front and rear of the house, restored staircases with handrails, a large study/office with superfast broadband, a fully fitted boot room and utility with Belfast sink, together with a unique Orangery house featuring a large specimen Cheese Plant, Ficus and Palm.The first floor features the large principal bedroom with restored wood plank floors, fireplace, a feature claw foot bath and four further bedrooms. The 2 bathrooms are both luxuriously fitted out with high end sanitary ware.OutsideDirectly outside the kitchen is a large terrace with external feature lighting ideal for entertaining in the summer months. The gardens are separated into specific areas for example the stunning Victorian style Alitex greenhouse, the terraced flower and shrub beds, a wildflower meadow and large wildlife pond with pontoon, large specimen trees (Oak, Scots Pine, Walnuts, Alder, Aspens and mature fruit trees). Double black iron gates lead up a gravel drive with floodlights to a parking area for up to 8 vehicles. A two storey original black Barn could be converted to further accommodation s/t planning consents if required. The Barn features solar panels on the roof and a battery storage unit within the building to provide both a more energy efficient home and an annual revenue contribution. There is also a brick built 2 storey original Granary building with Planning Consent '21/03042/HFUL' for a separate 2 bed dwelling. The new owners may wish this as guest accommodation or to operate as an AirBnB.The existing 2 bed cottage is fully restored, centrally heated with a modern kitchen, usual appliances, log burning stove and laminate floors throughout. There is a good sized fully stocked private back garden.The newly built Alitex greenhouse with cold frame, sun blinds, lighting, power, water and surrounding growing beds is an absolute delight.
Elsworth is an attractive and sought after village located 8 miles west of Cambridge and only a 2 minute walk to Frank's Farm, upmarket rural shopping where there is a craft butcher, artisan baker, a deli and a café. In addition, the village benefits from a recreation ground for cricket and football, two public houses, an infant and primary school, village store and hairdressers. Everyday shopping facilities can be found in Cambourne including a supermarket and petrol station. A more comprehensive range of facilities are available in the nearby historical tourist City of Cambridge which is a leading centre of 'high tech' industry, the internationally renowned Science Park, Advanced Research Laboratories, Genome Centre, Addenbrooke's teaching hospital and Biomedical Campus. Cambridge has an excellent choice of independent and state schools, and there is also a state college in Cambourne.
