Description:
Set in a peaceful position with a beautiful open aspect to both the front and rear, this enchanting, detached cottage is understood to be one of the village's more historic homes, with origins believed to stretch back several centuries. Having undergone a thoughtful and high-quality renovation, it now offers a rare blend of character, comfort and style in a truly special setting.
The property is approached via a wide gravelled frontage, enclosed by a low picket fence and offering generous parking. Its charming exterior and secluded feel are matched by the atmosphere inside, where a wealth of period detail has been carefully preserved. The main living space is a lovely dual-aspect lounge diner with exposed beams, a traditional open fireplace and an open-tread staircase that rises to the first floor. The proportions are generous, and the layout works equally well for relaxed evenings or entertaining.
To the rear, the kitchen has been stylishly updated with fitted cabinetry, integrated appliances and a breakfast bar, while a sunroom beyond offers a quiet place to sit and enjoy the garden, with double doors opening directly onto the patio. The ground floor also includes a standout bathroom suite with freestanding roll top bath and electric shower over, a dressing area with vanity and mirror, and a tucked-away utility space.
Upstairs, the cottage offers two comfortable double bedrooms, both with front-facing windows and plenty of natural light. Bedroom two includes built-in wardrobes, and both rooms enjoy a calm, inviting feel in keeping with the rest of the home.
Outside, the rear garden is laid out with a paved seating area ideal for outdoor dining, a lawn and a selection of mature planting including shrubs and ornamental trees. A timber-built outbuilding, fitted with light and electricity, provides excellent space for a workshop, studio or garden office. Side access links the front and rear for convenience.
Surrounded by open land and with lovely views in both directions, this is a peaceful and very attractive home that offers something truly special. Combining historical charm with well-considered modern living, it is ideal for those seeking a distinctive and welcoming village property. Early viewing is strongly advised.
Location Information:
Christchurch is a small and well-connected village set within the Cambridgeshire Fens, offering a quiet rural lifestyle while still being within easy reach of larger towns and transport links. Surrounded by open countryside and wide skies, it's a place where life moves at a gentler pace, with a strong sense of community and a pleasing mix of period and more modern homes.
The village itself offers a handful of everyday amenities including a primary school, active community centre and a popular local pub. There's also a recreation ground and regular local events that bring neighbours together throughout the year. For day-to-day needs, the nearby town of March, around 7 miles away, provides a wider range of shops, supermarkets and leisure facilities, along with a railway station offering direct services to Ely, Cambridge and Peterborough.
The historic market town of Wisbech lies just under 10 miles to the north and offers a further selection of shops, schools and services, as well as a number of attractive Georgian buildings, riverside walks and cultural highlights including The Angles Theatre and the Wisbech & Fenland Museum. For those who enjoy being outdoors, the surrounding area is full of opportunities for walking, cycling and exploring nature, with the Fens offering a unique and striking landscape that changes with the seasons.
Ely and King's Lynn are also within comfortable driving distance, offering access to a wider range of national retailers, restaurants and rail links to London.
