This 1980’s build is in our opinion the best on the road, with an almost Scandinavian style with impressive outside space and offering great access to the A14 trunk road, approximately 12 miles east-northeast of Cambridge, and 10 miles south-southeast of Ely and close by to the market town of Newmarket, offering outstanding mobility in all directions, and great train links.

Once at the property, you are welcomed by an impressive, pillared front, and through the front door, the accommodation on the ground floor briefly comprises of almost 2000 sq. feet with an entrance hallway leading to the kitchen, breakfast room, dining room, two sitting rooms, two utilities, all serviced by fibre broadband connectivity.

Upstairs you have a wonderful landing that leads through to four good-sized double bedrooms, a family bathroom with the Master having ensuite and quite outstanding views of the gardens to the rear of the property.

Decoratively on point as you walk through the house, it feels spacious and homely and invites plenty of light.

The property enjoys plenty of parking to the front, with a double garage, and side access that takes you to a stunning and well-maintained garden offering an approximate 0.75 acres, with a patio area, perfect for BBQs and entertaining, or just for your own relaxation, and even a Summer House with the potential to be used as a Garden Office or Workroom. Further to this already incredible property, the garden provides full access into the wonderful paddock boasting an approximate 2.7 acres in size.

The village of Exning boasts a vast selection of amenities including three great public houses, a hotel, a corner shop with an inclusive post office, a Church with a community hall and centre, a dentist, hairdressers, and a large recreational park, perfect for families, with doctors in nearby Burwell or Newmarket. The village is also home to a primary school with an ‘outstanding’ ranking from Ofsted and a good selection of senior schools with just a short bus commute.

There are lovely walks up on the Heath, where you can sometimes see horses being trained, and you will be spoilt with lots of cycle paths, a river with its annual duck race and a fabulous leisure centre in nearby Newmarket.

The current vendors who have been here for a great number of years have shared with us examples of multiple hiking, cycling and dog walks, all close by and surrounded by some quite breath-taking countryside, and originally had the house built as is equidistant of both Cambridge and Bury St Edmunds where they have worked professionally and they have commented how highly commutable the fabulous local schools are, feeding sixth form colleges in the state sector and have said there is a plethora of highly regarded private schools all within half an hour or so drive and also to further education, synonymous with the area.

For entertainment, you can drive to either historic Cambridge, Ely with its brand new Multi-Plex Cinema, Newmarket, and Bury St Edmunds all offering a huge diversity of arts (museums thriving music venues, mainstream and arthouse cinemas, and historic theatres) sports venues, multiple golf courses and facilities with Newmarket including the two wonderful race courses at the ‘home of racing’, all with buoyant city centres for shopping and a choice of dining from Michelin starred restaurants to cosy gastropubs and a wide variety of cuisines from around the world.
