Summary - 44 COLLINS HILL FORDHAM ELY CB7 5PE
3 bed 1 bath End of Terrace
Characterful 3-bed cottage with garden room, parking and modern kitchen.
Three bedrooms in a refurbished period cottage
A well-presented three-bedroom period cottage on Collins Hill, recently refurbished to a modern standard while retaining character features such as exposed beams and a traditional flint façade. The open-plan kitchen/diner includes integrated Bosch appliances and quartz worktops, and the living room provides a comfortable, light-filled family space. A separate garden room (office/gym) and raised deck extend the usable footprint for home working or outdoor entertaining.
Practical benefits include mains gas central heating with a modern boiler, triple glazing, an off-street parking space to the side, low flood risk and a low council tax band. The property totals about 947 sq ft and sits in a popular village location with good road links to Ely, Newmarket and Cambridge and local shops, pubs and schools close by.
Notable constraints are the small rear garden and compact plot, and the house’s solid brick walls (as built) with no assumed wall insulation — further insulation work could improve energy efficiency despite the current EPC C (70). Accommodation is arranged over two storeys with one family bathroom, which may feel limiting for larger families. Buyers should also note standard ceiling heights in parts of the living room and the property's period construction when considering accessibility or major alterations.
Overall, this cottage will suit first-time buyers or couples seeking a village home with character and modern fittings, plus investors keen on a low-maintenance rental near strong commuter links. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the updated finish and flexible garden-room space.
