About
To make an enquiry please click the email agent or request viewing button on the listing, this will allow us to respond to you as quickly as possible Columbine Road sits on a well-established residential development on the northern edge of Ely; a settled, family-friendly neighbourhood that has matured nicely over the years and offers the kind of quiet, practical residential living that the city's more central streets can rarely provide at this price point.
This well-presented three bedroom mid-terraced home has been thoughtfully updated throughout, with a recently refitted kitchen and bathroom giving the property a fresh, modern feel without losing the comfort and practicality of a home that has been well looked after.
The entrance hall leads into a ground floor that is well organised and makes good use of the available space.
A downstairs WC handles the everyday practicalities, and the dining room provides a dedicated eating space that keeps the sitting room free for relaxing rather than doubling up.
The recently fitted high gloss kitchen is a clean, modern finish with built-in oven, hob and dishwasher, well specified and easy to maintain.
The sitting room is a genuinely pleasant space, dual aspect with a window to the front and patio doors opening onto the rear garden, and a feature wall with panelling to one wall gives the room a considered and characterful touch that lifts it above the standard new build aesthetic.
Hard to overstate how much a detail like that changes the feel of a room.
Upstairs, the landing gives access to a principal bedroom with built-in wardrobes, a second double bedroom, a third single bedroom and a recently refitted bathroom with shower over bath, again, clean, fresh and well finished throughout.
Outside, a good-sized enclosed rear garden provides private outdoor space with direct access to the single garage on the block to the rear, a genuinely useful provision for secure parking or additional storage.
A block-paved driveway to the front provides parking for two further vehicles, making this one of the better-served properties on the development in terms of parking.
Ely city centre is a short drive or a comfortable cycle away, placing the weekly markets, independent shops, riverside restaurants, cafés and the full range of the city's amenities well within reach for evenings and weekends.
The mainline railway station provides direct services to London King's Cross at around seventy minutes and Cambridge under twenty minutes, and the A10 connects Ely to Cambridge, Newmarket and beyond for those who drive.
For families, Ely has a strong range of primary and secondary schools including Ely College and a good range of community and leisure facilities, and the northern edge of the city is well served by local bus routes connecting the development to the city centre and station.
