Ivy Cottage is a substantial five‑bedroom detached home set in a semi‑rural hamlet outside Ely, offering almost 3,230 sq ft of carefully extended and newly renovated accommodation. The house combines period character — high ceilings, sash windows and a feature fireplace — with a large open‑plan kitchen/family/dining space that opens to a contemporary patio via bi‑fold doors. Generous reception rooms, a study and a useful boot/utility arrange practical family living on the ground floor.
Upstairs the principal bedroom includes a dressing area and ensuite; three further large double bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the first floor. Bedroom five is on the ground floor with its own shower room, useful for flexible living, guests or home‑office use. The quality finish is evident throughout with slate and wood floors, contemporary sanitaryware and integrated kitchen appliances.
Externally the plot is a major asset: a very large, landscaped rear garden with lawn, extensive patios, mature planting and an enclosed chicken coop, plus a gated approach to versatile outbuildings (workshop/gym/store). The shingled driveway provides ample off‑road parking for several cars. The setting is semi‑rural with pleasant open field views — attractive for buyers seeking space and privacy.
Matters to note: the property’s EPC is D and glazing was installed before 2002. Heating includes underfloor systems and an LPG boiler (buyer to verify fuel arrangements). Council Tax Band D applies. Overall this is a roomy, characterful family home on a substantial plot, offering immediate move‑in condition with scope for any further personal updating.
