A MUST VIEW HOME WITH 7 ACRES
Welcome to Pond View, an exceptional country residence offering over 5300 Sq ft of living accommodation plus large garage totalling 5930 Sq Ft, set in a picturesque 7 acres with private lakes. This 6-bedroom detached family residence is a visual masterpiece throughout, and will make a new family a wonderful forever home.
There are 7 years of the 10 year warranty from new still remaining, and considering the scale of the property is very energy efficient; and highly desirable are its fabulous road and rail links via Ely, and Cambridge.
Pond View, built-in 2020 to an extremely high standard by its current owners, is the true embodiment of a modern country home and the picturesque lifestyle that goes with it. From its impressive architectural design offering a seamless blend of modern and country aesthetics and its elegant, modern interior to the sweeping landscapes across this home’s idyllic 7 acres of land.
This property offers extensive and versatile accommodation set over two floors. The ground floor comprises of a striking Entrance Way with a central staircase to the first floor, Kitchen/Dining Room, Utility Room, Living Room, Shower Room, and Family and Game Room with a second Kitchen and bar area. The first floor boasts 6 incredible and spacious bedrooms, 3 of which benefit from en-suite's and walk-in dressing rooms, a family bathroom and a balcony overlooking the serene country views.
The energy efficiency of this home also played a very major role within its design, boasting a very impressive high B rating (86 points). The home features thick walls and good insulation, underfloor heating to the ground floor and radiators to the first floor all of which serve to maintain temperature. In addition, the use of 100% low energy lighting is another contributing factor to the sheer efficiency of this home.
Through private electric gates, you are met with a grand and inviting driveway across nearly the whole frontage of the property. There is an integrated double garage situated to the right of the property and a continuation of the driveway alongside the lefthand of the property providing access to the first pond, stables, outbuildings, and the remaining land.
Upon entering the property, you are met with an impressive, galleried entrance hall, with a bespoke Oak staircase. With double doors leading into the stunning open plan Kitchen/Dining Room, you really get a feel for both the love and attention to detail that has gone into this home. The Kitchen itself is exceptionally well equipped. Central to the modern and sleek kitchen is a Quartz worktop island which incorporates an Induction Hob and Wine Cooler and importantly acts as the perfect place space for the family to gather in the kitchen, or to host and entertain. The rest of the kitchen however is certainly nothing less than exceptional, offering further Quartz worktops with top-of-the-range appliances with two integrated dishwashers, two integrated ovens, space for an American Fridge Freezer, and even an integrated eye-level coffee machine. However, in a home this size you couldn’t forget the numerous, modern wall and base units throughout the kitchen providing copious amounts of storage. Given the sheer size of this room, there is also space for an impressive dining table, with the current vendors currently housing their stylish 10-seater dining table which is simply perfect for entertaining guests, especially given the open-plan design of this space as it means you never miss a moment, even if you are tending to food. This room has also been cleverly designed with a set of beautiful bi-fold doors leading out onto the patio area; again, perfect for entertaining or even a touch of al fresco dining in the warmer months.
Not forgetting this space also boasts an impressive Utility Room, which has corresponding base units to that of the kitchen, as well as under counter space for both a washing machine and tumble dryer, as well as an additional Cloakroom and even separate access into the garden, which alongside the tiled flooring makes for the perfect room for any muddy paws or Wellington boots!
From the Kitchen you then enter into the open plan Living Room of impressive proportions, featuring a beautiful brick Inglenook style fireplace and multi-fuel stove. This room is the perfect intersection of modern meets country aesthetic. With a large bay window to the side aspect and Bi-fold doors to the rear leading into the garden, this room is filled with an abundance of natural light whilst still retaining
its homely feel.
Leading back into the entrance hall, this home is equipped with an inner lobby with an additional storage cupboard as well as a downstairs Shower Room consisting of a large walk-in shower with both a Rainfall shower head and handheld shower head, a handwash basin, and W/C. This room also offers a door directly onto the patio in the rear garden which again, is perfect for muddy paws!
The Family Room yet again is a fantastic size and space and has been designed sympathetically to support dynamic living. Although currently utilised as a Games Room, it boasts its own kitchen, and as such, there is potential to provide annex accommodation if needed. Especially when taking into consideration the locations of both the Shower Room and Integral Garage, should this be a need for any future owner.
The magnificent Oak framed gallery welcomes the first floor of this already incredible home! And as you can imagine, the open space on the first floor and the extensive views across the countryside really do set the scene. With magnificent double doors leading to the glass-fronted balcony, positioned over the patio, this area really does hold a majestic and special space within this home, offering picturesque views across the spanning landscape and pond/lakes.
From here, you have access to all six Bedrooms as well as the Family Bathroom, with each of the six bedrooms able to accommodate at least a double bed. Impressively, three of the six bedrooms boast not only 3 and 4-piece en-suites but also built-in wardrobes/dressing rooms! With the fourth bedroom offering ‘Jack and Jill’ use of the Family Bathroom, meaning it can be accessed via both the landing and the fourth bedroom and shared between the two. The Family Bathroom in question offers a very stylish and modern aesthetic, as do the en-suites, and comprises of a large walk-in shower with Rainfall Shower head and handheld shower head, a bathtub, a handwash basin, a heated towel rail, and W/C.
As we move to the outside space, there is the large Integral Double Garage boasting two electric roller doors, the oil-fired boiler and hot water tank, as well as both lighting and electricity and plenty of space for vehicles or storage.
Further to everything this breath-taking home has to offer are the extensive grounds, offering over 7 acres of land. The enclosed garden of this home sits on approximately half an acre and offers a beautifully maintained and landscaped space, primarily laid to lawn, however, it incorporates numerous pathways in and around the garden allowing you to truly enjoy its design and beauty. With raised borders beaming with an array of shrubs, an ornamental fish pond, and the most fantastic patio with a timber pergola, this garden is truly a space to get lost in after a busy day, and certainly a great place to enjoy a spot of al fresco dining, or to entertain friends and family.
This outside space offers the most unique space during Spring and Summer and is simply perfect for raising children, with its far-reaching grassland an ideal area to run about and explore the diversity of the natural surroundings. The current owners have expressed the fond memories they have of embracing and observing the wildlife that passes through, especially over the lake and ponds located within the 7 acres of land which attracts an array of wildlife from Swans, Geese Ducks, Barn Owls and Kingfishers to the Muntjac, Deer and Water Voles. So much so, that they have installed around 25 birdboxes of different sorts throughout the property, with most of which having been occupied this year! Given the size of this property too, it is safe to say whether you prefer to stay in the sun or the shade, there is certainly somewhere for you to enjoy!
Last but not least, this property also boasts a 12’ x 12’ stable, which has not yet housed an animal but absolutely has the potential, yet given the lifestyle this property permits, why wouldn’t you? In addition, there are also two 20’ x 8’ metal sheds and one 6’ x 8’ shed offering an abundance of storage externally from the home. It is almost impossible not to fall in love with Pond View!
Barway is a rural hamlet boasting plentiful walks and cycling routes across the spanning Fen countryside, whilst also being located approximately 4 miles from the Historic City of Ely, home to Ely Cathedral, an unmissable landmark which defines the region.
The city has a lot more to offer than its abundance of history, however, with numerous shopping facilities, including a weekly market, local parks, schooling such as the prestigious Kings Ely school, an attractive riverside with its own nature reserve, famous tea rooms, and an arts centre. Ely also has excellent rail links to Cambridge, Peterborough, Stansted Airport, London (Kings Cross and Liverpool Street), and further afield. Additionally, the delightful town of Soham is just a stone’s throw away at an approximate 5-6 minute drive, offering an array of amenities including a good range of local shops, and eateries, including the Red Lion which was cited as a 'perfect gastro pub' in Sept 2021 by the Telegraph newspaper, a doctor's surgery, a thriving sports and leisure centre, and private gym. Soham has numerous delightful commons and a network of country bridleways with the famous National Trust Wicken Fen nature reserve just a walk away. Also, nearby there are wild water facilities for swimming, kayaking, and all manner of water sports.
