The meticulously restored period features throughout, such as intricate cornices, decorative fireplaces, and tall sash windows, showcase the timeless beauty of Georgian architecture. The striking entrance hall sets the tone for the rest of the home, with its sweeping staircase and stunning chandelier. Tucked away on the ground floor, the formal reception rooms exude elegance and provide the perfect space for entertaining guests. The heart of the home, however, lies in the breathtaking kitchen/breakfast/family room, complete with high-end appliances, luxury fittings, and a large island at its centre, perfect for socialising with family and friends.
Step through the original orangery-style conservatory and be greeted by the sublime sight of mature gardens that stretch as far as the eye can see. This picturesque oasis boasts an abundance of greenery, with mature trees, plants, and shrubs gracing every corner of the garden. The highlight of this outdoor haven is undoubtedly the large natural pond, which acts as a magnet for wildlife, creating a mesmerising and serene atmosphere. Take a moment of tranquillity in the shaded seating area, tucked away under lush foliage, or indulge in al fresco dining on the beautiful flagstone terrace, complete with decorative walls and an enchanting water feature. For those with green thumbs, the garden also includes storage sheds, a greenhouse, and a charming summer house, providing ample space for all your gardening needs.
But it's not just the exceptional interior and captivating gardens that make this property so unique. Its location within a town setting is incredibly rare for a property with such vast outdoor space. Occupying approximately one-third of an acre, the gardens offer a sense of privacy and seclusion that is simply unparallelled.
This Grade II listed Georgian residence offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of history, combined with modern luxury and an enviable outside space. Don't miss your chance to own this truly exceptional property and experience the epitome of premium living.
Location
Wisbech is an attractive and historic market town commonly known as the Capital of the Fens. Near the bridge is a monument to Thomas Clarkson, an active opponent of the slave trade. Also of interest are the two market places and the parish church of St Peter and St Paul, which has a fine 16th century tower. The Norman Castle has long since disappeared, but there is a house built from its stone by Thomas Thurloe, Cromwell's Secretary of State. Adjoining it is a great museum, one of the oldest in the country, which counts among its treasures the original manuscript of 'Great Expectations' by Charles Dickens. In the area there is very good walking and cycling, farm shops nearby, theatre - amateur and professional, a swimming pool, library, good schools- including the highly thought of Wisbech Grammar School, and a Salvation Army hall. The town is only 20 minutes from King's Lynn with its direct rail link to Kings Cross via Cambridge approx 1 hour 40 minutes. Peterborough is 35 minutes away with its national rail links.
