3 bed property for sale

Stocks Hill, Hilgay, Downham Market PE38

Summary
Chain free! A unique opportunity to purchase this sympathetically renovated, three bedroom cottage. This now contemporary home boasts two large reception rooms, kitchen/diner & utility, plus 3 generous bedrooms, 2 en suites & generous front garden.

Description
This recently refurbished three bedroom cottage is positioned in the peaceful countryside village of Hilgay, ideally situated between the towns of Downham Market & Ely, both offering a range of shops, restaurants & mainline train stations with direct links to Cambridge & London Kings Cross. Steeped in history, this charming property dates back to the 1700s & has seen various uses, once three workers' cottages to a public house, before being sympathetically converted into a contemporary family home.

The current owner has carefully preserved many of the property's original features; upon entering, you are welcomed by a spacious reception room, perfect for a dining room or snug, featuring an original inglenook fireplace. A separate, large living room also showcases an inglenook fireplace - here, part of the floor has been raised to almost create two separate spaces, making it ideal as a living space & study. The kitchen has been tastefully updated with modern units and ample space for appliances, all while retaining much of the property's character. This leads into a practical utility/plant room and a convenient WC.

Upstairs, all three bedrooms are generously sized, each showcasing exposed wooden beams and offering a delightful blend of period charm and modern comfort. Two of the bedrooms feature en suite shower rooms, whilst the third is served by the family bathroom.
