- LARK ENGINE HOUSE, , LARK BANK, PRICKWILLOW, ELY, CAMBRIDGESHIRE, 703250, 07/12/2021
Former farmhouse with separate annexe close to Ely.
Description
Lark Engine Farmhouse is an idyllically situated former farmhouse dating back to the very early 1900s. The house sits alongside a single track, no through road adjacent to “Engine Bank” and a fenland river just outside the village surrounded by farmland.
Constructed of Cambridgeshire brick under a slated roof the front elevation has twin matched two storey bay windows which face south. The current owners extended the property to the rear to provide a large additional reception room (Sun Room) which has bi-folding doors to both ends and doors to a utility and ground floor shower room. The large family kitchen also has a sitting area to one end with a further set of bi-folding doors and a shaker style kitchen with painted units, wooden working surfaces and a two oven Aga. There are two further reception rooms on the ground floor with bay windows and wood burning stoves.
At first floor level there is a large landing (which could create a fourth bedroom) and three double bedrooms with a large family bathroom with wooden flooring, twin wash basins bath and a separate shower.
In addition to the house there is a well appointed annexe/ office from home situated up a flight of external steps atop a storage building which has provided the owner with space for a small private light plane but would also be suitable as garaging, workshop or storage. The annexe has a large kitchen/living/dining room, two bedrooms or a bedroom and an office together with a shower room. To the rear there are uninterrupted views over the neighbouring fenland farmland.
The accommodation is shown in greater detail in the attached floor plans.
The property is accessed through a five bar gate with laurel hedges to one side and a mixed hedge to the other with a shingled drive leading up to the detached double garage and a large parking area next to the house. An extension of the drive leads up to the outbuildings.
The grounds are situated mainly to the south of the house with a large feature pond at one end, many mature trees and areas of level lawns. Surrounding the house there are further lawned gardens, a paved terrace next to the garden room and a greenhouse.
In all around 2.21 acres.
Note: The property has a Right of Way along the adjacent access which leads to the farm buildings to the rear. This allows access to the lower part of the outbuilding which is accessed from the other side currently but access doors could be created from the garden side if required.
