4 Bedroom Farmhouse with additional Land

Detailed Description

Brown & Co offers an opportunity to acquire an attractive 1930s detached farmhouse set within approximately 8.5 acres of gardens and fenced paddocks. The property, extensively renovated in recent years, offers multiple reception rooms, an open-plan kitchen diner with vaulted ceiling and central island, three double bedrooms, and a range of useful outbuildings. With direct access to open countryside, this is an ideal property for those requiring equestrian facilities, hobby farming, or a rural lifestyle. This charming 1930s farmhouse offers extensive and versatile accommodation across two floors, complemented by a variety of outbuildings. The property retains much of its original character, including cast-iron fireplaces, while benefiting from sympathetic modernisation, including a newly designed open-plan kitchen diner. Properties with land and flexibility of use in this setting are rarely available.

Location

Situated in a rural setting close to the village of Benwick, the property enjoys excellent local amenities including a Spar shop, pub, primary school, and church. The nearby towns of Ramsey, March, and Whittlesey offer further facilities, while rail services from Whittlesey, Peterborough, and Ely provide easy links to Cambridge and London. The surrounding countryside offers excellent opportunities for walking, riding, and outdoor pursuits, with local footpaths accessible directly from the property.

Accommodation

Inside The farmhouse has been thoughtfully updated while retaining its 1930s charm, with original features including cast-iron fireplaces, picture rails, and oak flooring throughout key areas. The heart of the home is a spacious, open-plan kitchen and dining room with vaulted ceiling, French doors to the garden, a large central island, and bespoke cabinetry. There is space for both formal dining and relaxed seating and access to a cloakroom. Adjacent to the kitchen is a practical boot room with external access and a separate utility room leading to a covered porch and a versatile office or hobby room. The principal reception rooms include a dual-aspect lounge with French doors to the front garden, a formal dining room with original fireplace, and a cosy snug that could serve as a fourth bedroom. Upstairs are three generous double bedrooms, all enjoying open countryside views and character features, alongside a well-appointed family bathroom with walk-in shower and bath. Outside The property sits centrally within its 8.5 acres (subject to measured survey), comprising formal gardens, multiple paddocks, and a range of outbuildings: Front Garden: Laid mainly to lawn with mature flowering cherry and apple trees, enclosed by a privet hedge. Side Garden and Driveway: Gravel driveway accessed via double gates, parking for approximately five vehicles, lawns with mature specimen trees including a weeping willow, fig, apple, and pear trees.

Outbuildings: Including a store shed, workshop, feed store, bike shed, and garage/store. A large greenhouse (24' x 14'5", in need of renovation) and a timber field shelter are located towards the paddocks. Land and Paddocks: The paddocks cover approx 7.5 acres (subject to measuring) and are used predominantly for grazing and hay production. The land has been largely refenced with stock fencing (2021) and offers multiple gated access points and road access. Additional facilities include a polytunnel (9m x 33m) with ventilation screens, a fully fenced agility field, additional training field, and vegetable garden with raised beds. Poultry sheds and pens will be removed. There is an area of hardstanding with vehicular access from the road for parking or it would be an ideal base for a stable block. An additional 3-acre grass paddock nearby is available by separate negotiation. Agents Notes The property presents exceptional opportunities for equestrian, dog training, or smallholding use. A rare chance to acquire a well-maintained farmhouse with extensive grounds, within easy reach of village amenities and transport links.
