Summary - Queensbury Barns, Moor Road, Fordham CB7 5LU
5 bed 3 bath Barn
Large garden, separate coachhouse and proven short-let income potential.
Five-bedroom flint barn conversion with double-height living spaces
A striking flint barn conversion set on a large plot in sought-after Fordham, recently renovated and offered chain free. The main house blends vaulted, double-height living spaces and period character with a bespoke handmade kitchen, three bathrooms and five bedrooms arranged over multiple levels. Large windows and a first-floor sitting room frame far-reaching countryside views; the southwest-facing garden and secluded courtyard extend the living space outdoors.
The grounds include a separate, self-contained one-bedroom Coachhouse with its own entrance and parking. Built to a high standard around 18 years ago, the Coachhouse has a proven short-let history (circa £85 per night historically) and suits a relative, guest suite or income-generating use, though seasonal demand affects earnings.
Practical points are straightforward: the home is freehold with mains gas heating, off-street parking and fast broadband. Constructed c.1996–2002 and newly renovated internally, the property is move-in ready; however, the exact installation dates for glazing are unknown. Council tax is described as quite expensive, and the area records average crime levels — factors to budget for alongside routine maintenance of period surfaces and large grounds.
Located five miles from Newmarket and close to the A11/A14/M11 links, the house is convenient for commuting and leisure. Excellent local schools and village amenities make the property attractive to families, while the Coachhouse and strong rental potential will appeal to investors seeking a countryside asset with flexible income options.
