Longchamp Drive sits on the Kings Avenue development on the north side of Ely, a well-established modern neighbourhood that has become genuinely popular with families, in part because of its proximity to local schools, but also because it sits within comfortable walking distance of a city centre that has considerably more going for it than most people expect before they arrive.

This is a proper three storey townhouse with real space across all three floors, and the layout rewards those who take the time to understand it. The entrance hall is well organised from the outset, with a downstairs WC and a generous storage cupboard with shelving taking care of the everyday clutter before you've even reached the main living space. The kitchen is fitted with a range of cupboards, built-in oven and gas hob, with space and plumbing for a washing machine and fridge freezer. The sitting and dining room on the ground floor is where the property really opens up, a genuinely spacious room that gives you real flexibility in how you use it, with an electric fireplace, a large understairs cupboard with fitted shelving, and patio doors leading out to the garden. It is the kind of room that a family can actually spread out in, or that a couple can furnish generously without it feeling overdone.

The first floor delivers two large double bedrooms, both with fitted wardrobes and shelving, and a family bathroom, well proportioned rooms that work hard and feel comfortable. The top floor is the principal bedroom suite, and it is worth the climb. A large double bedroom leads through an archway into a separate dressing room lined with built-in wardrobes, a feature that makes a genuine difference to daily life, and an en-suite shower room with shower cubicle, WC and basin completes the top floor with the kind of privacy and independence that a busy household or a couple who values their own space will appreciate.

Outside, the garden offers a pleasing mix of lawn and patio with a brick-built raised BBQ, the kind of outdoor space that earns its place on a warm evening. A gate from the garden leads through to driveway parking in front of the single garage, which benefits from electric sockets and provides useful additional storage or workshop space.

Ely is a city that tends to surprise people, particularly those who haven't spent much time there. The food and drink scene is well above what the size of the city might lead you to expect, with Draymond Sons on Fore Hill brewing their own craft ales on site, the Poets House delivering genuinely good food in a relaxed setting, the Almonry in the cathedral grounds for something more special, and a growing collection of independent cafés and restaurants filling out the picture. The weekly markets on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday bring fresh produce, local traders and a genuine community atmosphere to the Market Place, and the riverside, with its walks along the Great Ouse, picnicking on Jubilee Gardens and occasional live music, adds a dimension to city life that most places of this size simply don't have. The cathedral, Oliver Cromwell's House and Ely Museum give the city a historical depth worth exploring, and the independent shops, galleries and antique dealers along the High Street give the centre a character that chain-dominated high streets have long since lost.

For commuters, the mainline station places London King's Cross at around seventy minutes on a direct service and Cambridge under twenty minutes, and the A10 provides straightforward road access to Cambridge, Huntingdon, Newmarket and King's Lynn.
