Perfectly Tailored
The late owners of the property originally lived in the middle
of Downham Market running a local agricultural business and in
the mid-nineties, as their retirement neared, they chose to build
themselves a highly tailored home to a good specification that would
perfectly suit their needs. This tranquil location was ideal so, desiring
a considerable garden, two plots were acquired on which they built
the one house, Branscombe. Since its creation the property has
proved to be a very much loved home that at times has been filled
with three generations of family and friends.
The house offers very versatile living with much choice over use
of rooms. The downstairs bedroom suite was included in the build
to fulfil needs later on in life, and houses a separate shower as well
as a bath, but in fact it never did; instead, a stairlift was installed so
the downstairs bedroom suite continued as a superb guest suite. It
might perhaps now accommodate elderly family members or a live
in nanny, for instance.
Generous Bedrooms
Upstairs, the four bedrooms along the back of the house overlooking
the garden are good sized doubles, the dual aspect master bedroom
is particularly capacious, and all lend a sense of character with partially
sloping ceilings. If wished, the ‘box’ room to the front would make a
perfectly acceptable single bedroom, or (subject to planning) might
be altered into a family bathroom so the master bedroom could
have the main bathroom as a private en suite.
OUTSIDE
Expansive, Sunny, Private Garden
A private drive serves Branscombe and just two other houses off
the quiet country lane, from which its own gravel drive sweeps
round a circle of evergreens, with plenty of room for parking in
front of a substantial, handsome double garage. Sitting on a plot of
about half an acre, the immense space continues behind the house.
It was a dream for the owners to create this private, verdant haven
from scratch, with only the walnut tree standing in the garden at
the start. Now it is a mature, very private, sunny space planted
with a variety of trees, shrubs, perennials, climbers and bulbs for
year round interest and colour.
At the back, a sheltered, paved terrace leads off the French doors
from both the kitchen and drawing room – an ideal and very
sunny spot for alfresco dining, and an excellent area for summer
entertaining. A large expanse of lawn stretches towards a backdrop
of trees beyond which are paddocks and open countryside. At one
side, nestling amongst greenery, an octagonal timber summerhouse
faces directly south, whilst a large garden store and a coal bunker
adjoin the side of the garage.
It’s accessible to Ely and Cambridge via A10 and the main line railway to London from Downham Market being
only 2 miles away.
