Parking is a real strength, with room for three to four vehicles in front of an attached double garage — a rarity at this level. The house has been comfortably modernised, with a contemporary kitchen, bathroom and en-suite already in place, leaving little to do beyond moving in. Its defining feature, though, lies to the rear: a south-facing garden stretching to approximately 140ft, offering the kind of outdoor space that is increasingly hard to find so close to Newmarket.<br/><br/>The ground floor is arranged for flexible family living. An entrance hall with a ground-floor WC leads through to a lounge finished with wood-effect flooring, which in turn opens into a conservatory overlooking the garden. A separate dining room sits alongside, while a well-proportioned study off the hall makes a practical home office, lined with an extensive run of fitted sliding-door storage that keeps it clutter-free. At the heart of the layout is the kitchen/breakfast room, fitted with ivory high-gloss handle-less units, wood effect worktops and black glass splashbacks, with a run of integrated Bosch appliances including a double oven and induction hob. Grey tiled flooring and a rear lobby completing the space give it a hard-wearing, modern feel throughout.<br/><br/>Upstairs, the principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and a modern en-suite shower room, and is joined by three further bedrooms and a stylish family bathroom in a bath-and-shower configuration. Outside is where the property comes into its own. The rear garden runs to around 140ft and faces south, with a paved patio adjoining the house giving way to a broad lawn framed by fencing, along with a selection of sheds and outbuildings towards the far end. To the front, the gravel driveway and double garage complete a home with space in abundance, inside and out. Early viewing comes recommended to appreciate the plot in full.<br/><br/><strong>At a Glance</strong><br/><strong>Type:</strong> Detached house, freehold<br/><strong>Size:</strong> Approximately 1,660 sq ft of accommodation, plus a 267 sq ft double garage<br/><strong>Bedrooms:</strong> 4 — three doubles plus a single/fourth bedroom<br/><strong>Bathrooms:</strong> 2 — family bathroom plus en-suite shower to principal, with a separate ground-floor WC<br/><strong>Reception Rooms:</strong> 3 — lounge, separate dining room and ground-floor study, plus a conservatory<br/><strong>Kitchen:</strong> Ivory high-gloss handleless units, wood effect laminate worktops, integrated Bosch appliances<br/><strong>Study:</strong> Fitted with an extensive run of sliding-door storage<br/><strong>Outside:</strong> Approximately 140ft south-facing rear garden with paved patio, plus sheds and outbuildings<br/><strong>Parking:</strong> Attached double garage and gravel driveway for three to four vehicles<br/><strong>Station:</strong> Newmarket, direct services to Cambridge, London Kings Cross and Ipswich<br/><br/><strong>Walk Through This Home — Virtually</strong><br/>Take a 360° tour from your phone or laptop.

The Crown, The Chequers and The White Pheasant are three excellent pubs and restaurants, and amenities include a primary school feeding into Soham Village College, a convenience store, coffee shop, butchers, garden centre, service station, recreation ground, fish and chip shop, post office and a regular car boot sale.
