Description
AN HISTORIC RIVERSIDE PERIOD PROPERTY WITH MOORING ENCOMPASED BY DELIGHTFUL GARDENS AND GROUNDS THAT INCLUDE A LARGE OUTBUILDING WITH PLANNING PERMISSION TO REPLACE WITH A SEPARATE BARN STYLE DWELLING
THE PROPERTY
Riverdale is a historic edge of village property occupying a truly unique position set within lovely gardens and grounds at the end of a long drive, adjoining the Burwell Lode with the benefit of a mooring. Extended in the 1980’s and with origins from the late 17th Century the property enjoys a fascinating history, believed to have been converted from a merchant’s storehouse, as part of the thriving Burwell river trade and coal wharf run in 1842 by Edward Ball and Richard Bailey.
Today the house enjoys the delightful backdrop of Burwell Lode with gardens, grounds and river frontage with a private mooring. Having been greatly improved during their ownership, the current owners have furthermore obtained full planning permission (Ref: 21/01443/FUL granted on 28th February 2022) to demolish a large clunch and brick outbuilding and replace with a separate detached barn style dwelling, providing exciting options for further residential accommodation or as a separate entity to be retained or sold.
Built of mellow red brick under a pantile roof with double glazed windows, internally the property has a wealth of timber beams with windows maximising the ingress of natural light and providing stunning views of the gardens and Lode.
The welcoming entrance hall has a cloakroom and stairs to the first floor. Opening through to the sitting room with windows to the side and a large brick fireplace housing a Clearview woodburning stove open either side to the dining room. Accessed from the sitting room is the garden room – a bright, light room with aspects to three sides and sliding doors to the garden.
The kitchen is accessed from the hall with fitted base and eye level units, Quartz worktops and upstands, sink with mixer tap and waste disposal unit, integrated appliances including gas hob with extractor above, oven/grill, combi microwave/oven/grill, dishwasher and integrated fridge and two freezers. The useful utility room adjoins the kitchen with fitted base and eye level units, worktops, sink and integrated washing machine and tumble dryer, boiler and stable door to garden.
The first floor is arranged around a galleried landing and accessed from stairs rising from the hall providing a study and occasional bedroom area with access to the loft space.
The generously sized principal bedroom has a window to the rear enjoying stunning views over the garden to the Lode, fitted wardrobes and a superbly finished en-suite bathroom. There are two further double bedrooms and a spacious family bathroom located off the landing.
OUTSIDE
From North Street, the property is approached over a long private drive (owned by the property with rights of access for neighboring properties) leading to a large gravel parking area flanked by the large clunch and brick outbuilding for which planning permission has been received to replace with a new attractive barn style dwelling.
The gardens and grounds extend to around 0.5 acre in total comprising lawns and borders, an array of trees and shrubs and river frontage to the Lode, with a private mooring and fishing rights.
LOCATION
Riverdale is situated in a secluded part of this popular village close to all the amenities yet with convenient access to Newmarket, Cambridge and Ely.

The nearby horseracing town of Newmarket offers a good range of amenities including schools, shops, supermarkets, hotels, restaurants and leisure facilities, including health clubs, a swimming pool and golf club.
