For Sale3 Bedroom Detached House in City Road, Ely, CB6 1NG£425,000

Lovingly renovated by the current owner this large three bedroom detached Edwardian house has also been substantially retrofitted with many energy efficiency measures and improvements whilst retaining and enhancing the original Edwardian character and feeling of space. Energy efficiency features include: solar thermal panels; thermal store providing mains pressure hot water; wood burning stove with back boiler; rain water harvesting system for toilets and washing machine; hot water recirculation and of course much upgraded insulation. There is a conventional gas boiler providing heating and hot water boost in the coldest of conditions via underfloor heating to the entire ground floor and radiators upstairs. Externally there is a large integral garage and workshop; a useful WC and wood store, two big sheds and a well sized greenhouse. Outside is a large patio area, a formal top garden with mature trees and an extremely large rear garden, currently down to grass with a natural pond and a river boundary backing onto open fields, ideal for a start-up small holding or a food self-sufficiency project. There are pear trees and soft fruit including a Fig tree. During the 18 year tenure of the present owner many other improvements have been made including: a sub-total rewire; a total replumb; new 30 year warranty flat roof; both chimneys repointed; electric garage door; greatly upgraded insulation and redecorate throughout. The property has scope for further energy efficiency innovations and has potential for “Off-grid” living with the addition of solar PV with battery storage and a heat pump.
