About
There is something undeniably romantic about a home built to a precise, singular vision, and Roeswall Manor, a detached residence on the fringe of Burwell is exactly that.
Spanning a colossal 4000 square feet, the architectural design undeniably boasts large generous rooms and expansive family living.
Upon entry, you are met by a vaulted hall where twin staircases sweep upward to a galleried landing, reminiscent of a large country house. The floor plan is a masterclass in generous proportions.
The sprawling sitting room, anchored by a magnificent inglenook fireplace, offers the kind of scale rarely found in modern builds, while a dedicated dining room, study and family room provide the flexible "zones" essential for modern life.
The kitchen/breakfast room remains in its original state, presenting a cavernous footprint ready to be transformed into a sleek, chef-grade heart of the home.
Five bedrooms adorn the first floor, the master a huge room, with a balcony and full en-suite bathroom. The remaining four bedrooms are all doubles, complimented by a family bathroom.
The grounds are are approached via two gated driveways, both sweeping to the front of the house and leading to a double garage.
