A rare, extensively extended five-bedroom detached house set within almost two acres of mature grounds, close to Newmarket town and rail links. The property offers close to 5,000 sq.ft of living space arranged over three storeys, with five reception rooms, a large bespoke kitchen/breakfast room and a leisure suite including a gym. The gated driveway, three-bay car-port, tennis court, detached studio/stables and extensive terraces create an ideal family estate for outdoor living and entertaining.
Accommodation is bright and spacious throughout, with a galleried landing, two south‑east facing balconies from principal bedrooms and generous ensuites. Modern comforts include an air source heat pump with oil-boiler back-up, partial underfloor heating, air conditioning in the gym and a four-camera CCTV system. The property is chain free, offering immediate possession potential for a buyer seeking a substantial country home.
Important practical points are set out plainly: the EPC is rated E and some original solid brick walls are uninsulated (as built), so upgrading insulation could be required to maximise energy efficiency. Council Tax sits in Band G and the running costs of a large house with multiple heating systems and extensive grounds should be expected. The house dates from the mid-20th century but has seen comprehensive, high-quality extensions in recent years.
This property suits a growing or multigenerational family seeking space, privacy and country living close to major centres (Cambridge and Bury St Edmunds). It will also appeal to buyers wishing to improve efficiency and add personal specification to an already impressive and flexible home.
