3 Bedroom Detached House For Sale in Sutton St. Edmund

2 3 2

A former farmhouse sitting on approximately 7 acres occupies an idyllic, rural position with a huge array of attractive outbuildings, mainly single storey but also with a large, two storey barn, virtually all built in brick and presented in good order. About 16 miles (30 minutes) northeast of the city of Peterborough and 9 miles (15 minutes) west of Wisbech, the property is in catchment for some excellent schools such as the highly regarded grammar schools in Spalding (15 miles/30 minutes). Wisbech offers sought after independent education at Wisbech Grammar School. Trains from March (15 miles/25 minutes) or indeed, Peterborough where they are exceptionally fast, mean a London commute is perfectly feasible.

The house itself offers three double bedrooms, one en suite, a family bathroom, two reception rooms, a spacious kitchen, utility room and sizeable, half-glazed boot room, entrance hall and small cellar. Whether to run as a smallholding, an equestrian property, an extensive, rural family home or, with the correct planning consents, to develop into business premises or for further dwellings, the potential is enormous.

Amongst the outbuildings, there are two generous stables and open-fronted barns for either storage or with corrals for the animals. A date stone on the coal shed states 1855 but most of the buildings are likely to be older. The huge, two storey barn has big, double doors either side and the space is divided at ground level with a room where stairs rise to the first floor, also divided in two with a much larger space beyond. The adjacent single storey barn with arched entrances was used for milking. Both barns and the stables have concrete floors and the old milking parlour has the original drainage channel. A Nissan hut has a large, high-up window at one end and holds an enormous amount of storage.

On the gravel drive, an open-fronted barn has four bays, ideal for parking cars, each with a security post; another is positioned on the drive near the house. The paddocks contain two field shelters, one with a concrete floor and apron.

Arable farmland surrounds the property providing far reaching rural views from the house and its land. In the far corner of the property’s five acres of paddocks is a delightful haven for birds and wildlife. A large cluster of evergreen and deciduous trees mainly planted by the current owners, now well established, stand round a large pond.
