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 Village centre flats of this size and quality don't come along very often, and this one occupies about as central a position in Sutton as it's possible to find.
With its own private entrance and set on the first floor above the High Street, this well-proportioned two bedroom flat offers a comfortable, low maintenance home in the heart of one of East Cambridgeshire's most well-served villages and will be freshly redecorated throughout prior to the next occupancy, meaning the incoming tenant arrives to a clean, bright and well-presented home from day one.
The sitting and dining room sits to the front of the property, immediately impressing with its generous proportions and two large windows to the front aspect that flood the room with natural light, giving the room an airy, open feel that lifts the whole living space.
It is a room that works comfortably for relaxed daily living and informal entertaining in equal measure, and the level of natural light throughout the day makes it a genuinely pleasant space to spend time in.
The recently fitted kitchen is modern and well specified with white shaker style units with a fitted electric oven and gas hob providing a practical and attractive cooking space with plenty of cupboard storage.
The bathroom is a good size with a fixed vanity cupboard and shower over bath, and both bedrooms are good-sized doubles offering comfortable and well-proportioned sleeping accommodation.
The absence of allocated parking and a private garden is, in this location, a straightforward trade-off for the convenience of having virtually everything you need for daily life within a short walk of the front door.
Sutton's High Street provides a Co-op, pharmacy, Indian restaurant, Chinese takeaway and chip shop, hairdresser and a range of local services, and The Chequers pub is within easy walking distance for an evening meal or a drink without the need to get in the car.
For those who enjoy the outdoors, Snakemoor nature reserve is accessible on foot and provides a pleasant and well-regarded green space for walking.
Ely is six miles to the north-east; close enough for a regular evening out, a trip to the weekly market or a commute to the mainline station, which provides direct services to London King's Cross and Cambridge.
The A142 connects Sutton to Ely, Chatteris and the wider road network for those who drive, and bus services provide a further connection to Ely for those without a car.
For anyone looking for a spacious, low maintenance home in the heart of a well-served village with good connectivity and everything on the doorstep, this flat offers a great deal.
