Property Insight
Set within a gated development in the popular village of Fordham, this individual 5-bedroom detached home offers around 3,157 sq ft of characterful accommodation just a short walk from village amenities. Built in 2007 and presented in immaculate condition, it pairs the practicality of a modern family home with the warmth of exposed brickwork, oak beams and a galleried landing. The accommodation comprises four reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room, a utility room, a downstairs WC, five bedrooms, two en-suites, a family bathroom, a double garage and secure gated driveway parking.

Approaching the property, the brick frontage is set off by black weatherboard detailing and a wide block-paved driveway, with a double garage and gated side access to the rear. Stepping inside, the entrance hall makes an immediate impression, with a handsome oak staircase rising to a galleried landing above, natural stone flooring, and exposed brick and oak that set the tone for the rest of the home.

The kitchen/breakfast room is a natural gathering space, fitted with cream shaker-style units, granite worktops and a central island with breakfast seating, all framed by an exposed brick chimney breast with a range cooker and a feature oak beam overhead. A separate utility room provides further storage and space for laundry appliances, with a downstairs WC close by. A study and a cosy snug offer flexible additional ground-floor space, well suited to home working or quiet evenings in.

The lounge is a particularly spacious dual-aspect room, with a striking brick inglenook fireplace and inset log burning stove as its centrepiece, solid oak flooring and exposed beams overhead. It flows through to the garden room, a bright, fully glazed space with French doors and views across the rear garden - a lovely spot to relax or dine whatever the season.

To the first floor, the galleried landing - with its exposed oak and skylights - leads to five well-proportioned bedrooms, several with characterful vaulted ceilings and exposed beams. Two of the bedrooms enjoy their own en-suites, including a generous en-suite with twin sinks and a jacuzzi bath to the primary suite, while a family bathroom serves the remaining rooms. Throughout, the bedrooms offer comfortable, flexible space for family and guests alike.

Outside, the rear garden offers a private, hedge-screened setting laid mainly to lawn, with a paved patio and a raised timber deck providing plenty of room for garden furniture, dining and entertaining. Mature planting and established hedging frame the space, while the gated development and secure driveway parking add a welcome sense of privacy and security.

Fordham enjoys a rich heritage and has been discovered to be occupied for several thousand years after Early Bronze Age and Iron Age weapons and tools were found. The parish church of St Peter & St Mary Magdalene is a Grade I listed building dating back to the 12th Century and is noted for its fine and unusual 14th Century north chapel, with an upper floor and undercroft. The church continues to have regular services and activities for all ages.

The Crown, The Chequers and The White Pheasant are three excellent pubs/restaurants in Fordham that offer food and drinks in comfortable and friendly settings.

The village’s proximity to Newmarket means residents have access to the town’s many other amenities, such as the train station offering regular services to both Cambridge, London Kings Cross and Ipswich. The A11 and A14 are also very easily accessible and provide access to Cambridge and Bury St Edmunds in less than 30 minutes.
