A unique opportunity to acquire an individually designed detached family home with various commercial interests, occupying a superior position on the fringe of Cambridge with skyline views towards Kings Chapel. A quite unique property that sits in a wonderful location between the pretty rural villages of Coton and Madingley, and just under ten minutes away from the city centre of Cambridge. The current owner has lived at the property for just over twenty-two years, and during that time has both renovated and added outbuildings and dwellings, creating numerous business ventures that are each said to have a very healthy turnover. The main house is an imposing property, the original part of which is thought to date back to the 16th century. Over the years the house has been sympathetically extended to create a large and very attractive home. One enters into a spacious reception hall in which a contemporary central staircase leads up to an impressive galleried landing. A floor to ceiling glazed wall at the back of the hall combines with a high ceiling and the open staircase to give a wonderful sense of light and space, a theme that runs throughout this lovely property. The current owner says that it is the large but comfortable living room that is the real heart of the home. In the summer months the French doors can be opened up to create a wonderful connection between house and garden, and during the winter the huge open fire can be lit to give a warm and cosy atmosphere.The grounds comprise around 14.7 acres of verdant land that has been divided to accommodate the various businesses. The main enterprise that operates from the property is a thriving dance studio that boasts the largest dance floor in Cambridgeshire, but there are also numerous stables, large paddocks and three cottages that were built just a couple of years ago and are said to yield a healthy rental income. Each business is fully up and running, but there is still plenty of potential.Another wonderfully unique feature is the windmill. When the current owner purchased the property it had been neglected for many years and fallen into a state of disrepair, so he embarked upon an ambitious project of renovation to return it to its former glory. It is now fully operational.A truly unique opportunity to acquire a substantial detached family home with various commercial interests included.
