About this home
A Beautifully Presented Edwardian Home with Exceptional Character in a Highly Desirable Ely Location Rarely available and only the second time this attractive Edwardian home has come to the market, 65 Prickwillow Road is a handsome bay-fronted four-bedroom semi-detached house, believed to date from around 1910, occupying a particularly desirable position in one of Ely's most sought-after residential areas. Beautifully maintained and presented in good order throughout, the property retains a wealth of original character and charm, including original doors, picture rails, tiled flooring, fireplaces and the impressive bay window with full-height fitted shutters to the principal bedroom. The welcoming entrance hall leads into two well-proportioned reception rooms. The living room is a lovely light and comfortable space, with the bay window overlooking the front, fitted shutters, wood flooring and an attractive open fireplace with tiled surround. The dining room provides an equally characterful second reception room, featuring a further open fireplace, tiled surround, shelving and storage to either side, picture rail and tiled flooring, with double doors leading towards the rear of the property. To the rear, the kitchen has been thoughtfully fitted with a comprehensive range of base and drawer units beneath Corian work surfaces, incorporating a useful breakfast bar and one-and-a-half bowl sink with mixer tap and instant hot water tap. There is a gas hob, eye-level double oven and integrated dishwasher, together with an adjoining utility area providing space for a washing machine. A side door gives access to the outside, while a useful cloakroom completes the ground floor. Upstairs, the particularly spacious gallery landing provides access to four good-sized bedrooms, the family bathroom and loft. The principal bedroom is especially impressive, with a large walk-in bay window overlooking the front, full-height fitted shutters and excellent proportions. Bedroom two is another generous double with fitted storage, while bedrooms three and four are also well-proportioned rooms overlooking the side and rear respectively. The family bathroom is fitted with a panelled bath with shower over, separate shower cubicle, WC and wash hand basin, together with a heated towel rail and two rear-facing windows. Outside, the property enjoys an enclosed rear garden, surrounded by established trees which provide a high degree of privacy. A patio area immediately to the rear of the house provides an ideal space for outdoor seating and entertaining, with the remainder of the garden laid mainly to lawn and enclosed by established planting. The property benefits from a garage measuring approximately 5m x 3m, with folding doors, power and lighting. Homes of this age, character and position are increasingly difficult to find, and the fact that 65 Prickwillow Road has only previously changed hands once makes this a particularly interesting opportunity. A substantial and well-maintained period home, combining attractive original features with comfortable modern accommodation, it is ideally suited to buyers looking for a property with genuine character in a highly desirable Ely location.
