About
A rare opportunity to acquire a Georgian cottage of considerable charm and character, situated in a Conservation Area just a few hundred yards of the High Street and Ely's stunning Cathedral.
Exceptionally well presented throughout the accommodation offers tremendous versatility and includes many fine 'Heritage' features such as cast iron radiators, fireplaces, sash windows and traditional light switches.
The property has been significantly altered and improved by the present owners with notably improvements including the reconfiguration of part of the ground floor to create a study/dining room/bedroom with adjoining shower room, refurbishment of the kitchen, with built in oven and induction hob, re-fitted shower rooms, new gas boiler (fitted 2022) and redecoration throughout using 'Farrow & Ball' paint.
The result is an extremely cosy cottage that successfully combines modern day living with the charm and character of the original period building.
Heating is gas fired to radiators and there is also an air to air heat pump for additional heating and air conditioning.
A delightful, enclosed courtyard to the rear enjoys a southerly aspect and offers a good level of privacy, for which access is via a shared covered side passageway which also provides pedestrian access to the garden of number 11.
There is residents only parking available in Chapel Street and enquiries regarding permits etc should be made to Cambridgeshire County County, Parking Services, PO box 121, Cambridge CB1 2WW.
Tel: 01223-727915 or email: The Council Tax rating is currently Band B and being Grade II Listed the property is exempt from EPC requirements.
Ely is a charming cathedral city with a good range of day to day facilities, excellent sporting activities, schools catering for all age ranges, including the renowned King's School, and a mainline railway station with regular services to Cambridge and London.
