Property Insight
Ensum Brown are delighted to offer for sale this unique and beautifully presented detached family home in the sought-after town of Newmarket. This recently refurbished property enjoys a stunning open-plan lounge/dining room, a conservatory, a kitchen/breakfast room, a utility, a downstairs shower room, 3 well-proportioned bedrooms, a family bathroom and en-suite, private gardens, ample parking, and planning permission for a double storey extension to include an entrance hallway, double garage, 2 further bedrooms and an en-suite bathroom.

Surrey Cottage was formerly a Cart Lodge and was converted into a house around 1967. In 2024, it underwent a full refurbishment, featuring new heating, insulation, and UPVC windows and doors. A significant amount of work has already been completed on the extension, including the installation of footings up to the damp course and the flooring. All fees have been paid to the council for inspections and a full structural engineer’s report, with a full set of plans to be passed over to the next owner. If new owners didn’t want to complete the extension immediately, the area would make a great outdoor patio/entertaining space until then.

The property boasts its own long, private driveway, and the house is nicely tucked away in a beautiful setting with mature, leafy trees and a charming cottage garden. There is plenty of parking for several vehicles, or you could utilise some of the space for more garden once the double garage has been completed.

Upon stepping inside, the kitchen/breakfast room is beautifully designed and decorated space, enjoying windows and double French doors to a lovely decking and garden area, a wide range of modern base and wall units, quartz worktops, an island/breakfast bar for 4+ people, wood flooring, low-energy inset lighting, a range cooker, an extractor hood, an integrated fridge/freezer and dishwasher, and space for other small kitchen appliances. The utility room provides further storage, access to the front, space for large laundry appliances, and access to a downstairs shower room, comprising a shower, WC and sink.

The lounge/dining room is wonderfully open-plan and spacious, benefiting from windows and a door to multiple aspects, a cupboard under the stairs, stunning decor, low-energy pendant and inset lighting, attractive wood flooring in the dining area and plush carpets in the lounge space, and ample room for a variety of lounge, dining and storage furniture. The conservatory offers further beautiful and versatile reception space, with a glorious garden outlook, pretty tiled flooring, and space for furniture.

Upstairs to the first floor, this stunning home continues to impress, with 3 well-proportioned double bedrooms, a spacious single bedroom, storage space, and a family bathroom comprising a bath, a WC and a hand wash basin. The primary bedroom is particularly generous and enjoys a dressing area and its own en-suite bathroom, with a bath and overhead shower, a WC and a hand wash basin.

Outside, the south/south-west facing garden is a lovely size, enclosed by lovely trees and shrubs and offering a wonderfully private spot to sit and relax after a busy day. It is laid to lawn with a spacious decked area, providing room for garden furniture, enjoying meals and entertaining guests. There are established borders with plants and shrubs, a pretty fish pond, access to 2 sheds and plenty of scope for new owners to put their own touches on things.
