SUTTON

is a large village situated on high ground about 6 miles west of Ely and only about 15 miles from Cambridge. The village has several amenities, including local shops, a pharmacy, a primary school and a parish church while Ely, with its bi-weekly markets, shopping, supermarkets and amenities, is within easy reach. Ely is also home to a choice of schools, including the independent King’s Ely, and a magnificent cathedral. Once known as the 'Ship of the Fens', Ely Cathedral is a mix of Romanesque and Gothic architectural styles and is of significant historical interest.

THE PROPERTY

This 4,000+ sq ft detached period house features substantial accommodation across three floors with character throughout, including sash windows, stripped wooden floorboards and original fireplaces. It occupies a beautiful plot of approximately 0.7 acres in the heart of Sutton village.
