Character farmhouse living with separate one-bed annexe and strong rental potential.
Chain free five-bedroom flint barn conversion with large private gardens
A striking five-bedroom flint barn conversion set in generous private grounds on the edge of Fordham. Recently renovated to a high standard, the main house combines double-height living spaces, exposed beams and large glazed panels with a bespoke handmade timber kitchen, three bathrooms and a southwest-facing garden that promises plenty of light and privacy. The property is offered chain free and benefits from off-street parking and a private drive.
Within the grounds is a self-contained one-bedroom coach house, built to a high specification about 18 years ago and sitting behind its own entrance. It has been used successfully as an Airbnb (approximately £85 per night) and could provide useful income, independent accommodation for relatives, or a flexible home office/annexe.
The location will suit families and commuters: Fordham has well-regarded schools (including a Good-rated primary and an Outstanding secondary nearby), local amenities, and direct road links via the A11, A14 and M11 to Cambridge, Newmarket, Ely and beyond. Broadband and mobile signals are excellent, and there is no recorded flood risk.
Practical points to note: council tax for the property is described as quite expensive. The home is spacious rather than enormous (around 2,540–2,942 sq ft depending on measurement notes) and some rooms retain traditional barn proportions that may not suit every furniture layout. Overall this is a characterful, flexible rural home with income potential and strong local schooling and transport links.
