The semi-detached home comes with a range of original features and generously sized bedrooms and reception rooms, and benefits from a complete onward chain.
Entering through cast iron gates, there are two separate “low-maintenance” courtyards to the front of the property with a luscious spread of flowers, shrubs and trees providing privacy from the main road and a tranquil space to dine and relax.
There is also a staircase leading down into the basement, presenting an opportunity to create a holiday let or extra accommodation, subject to the relevant positions.
Internally, accommodation is arranged over three floors, with the entrance hallway on the ground floor opening to the living room, kitchen/dining room and a cloak room. The hallway itself features the original front door and high ceilings.
The living room boasts an original fireplace with log-burning stove and exposed brickwork, as well as original timber flooring and views over the front courtyards through the large bay window.
The kitchen/dining room also has a bay window, where there is space for a large dining table and chairs. A secondary chimney breast houses a Rangemaster oven, and there is space and plumbing for various appliances and a range of wall and base units with rolltop work surfaces.
On the first floor there are two spacious double bedrooms, both with bay windows and fitted wardrobes, and a central family bathroom. Bedroom two also benefits from a dressing room and en-suite shower room.
A further two generously-sized double bedrooms are located on the second floor, both providing space for king-size beds and fitted wardrobes.
The town of Newmarket is considered by many to be the centre of Britain’s horseracing industry, with sites including the National Horseracing Museum, National Stud, Tattersalls and the Jockey Club.
