Location, location, location.... Sitting on Market Street in the very heart of the city, this property places you within a short walk of virtually everything Ely has to offer; the cathedral, the market, the riverside, the mainline station and the full range of the city's independent shops, cafés and restaurants are all on the doorstep in a way that simply isn't possible from a residential street on the outskirts.

The apartment itself is a spacious and well-presented second floor flat that has been finished throughout to a clean, contemporary standard. A generous entrance hallway with a large storage and utility cupboard and skylight above that draws natural light down into the space and sets a practical and considered tone from the outset. The hallway flows into an open plan kitchen, dining and sitting room that is the principal living space of the property. White high gloss kitchen units with dark worktops and a full complement of integrated appliances; oven, hob, fridge freezer and slimline dishwasher, give the kitchen a sharp, well-specified finish, while the dark grey carpet and white walls throughout the living area create a contemporary, cohesive feel that is easy to live with and straightforward to furnish. The space is well proportioned and works comfortably as both a sociable cooking and dining area and a relaxed sitting room.

Both bedrooms are doubles, one a generous main bedroom and one a small double equally well suited as a home office or guest room, and the four piece bathroom is a genuine highlight, comprising a separate shower enclosure with dark speckled panels, a full-length bath with matching dark splashback, WC and a dark vanity unit with basin. It is a well-finished and generously specified bathroom for a property of this size and sits well with the overall contemporary aesthetic throughout.

Step outside and Ely's weekly Thursday, Saturday and Sunday markets are on the doorstep, as is the Farmers' Market on the second Saturday of each month and Foodie Fridays throughout the summer. The city's food and drink scene is within a short walk in any direction, Draymond Sons on Forehill for craft ales brewed in-house; the Poets House for refined dining; the Almonry Restaurant in the cathedral grounds for a proper occasion; and Amelie Café, the Ely Grazing Company and a growing collection of independents for the more everyday but no less enjoyable options. The riverside adds another layer entirely, a walk along the Great Ouse, a drink at one of the waterside pubs or simply watching the boats go by on a summer evening is the kind of uncomplicated pleasure that city centre living makes genuinely accessible.

The mainline railway station is within comfortable walking distance, placing London King's Cross at around seventy minutes on a direct service and Cambridge under twenty minutes away, a combination that makes this a practical and well-connected base for commuters as well as those who simply want to enjoy everything Ely has to offer from the most central address possible.
