A remarkable rural property has hit the market, offering prospective buyers an extraordinary outdoor space that rivals the dimensions of an airport runway. The three-bedroom detached home in Little Downham, near Ely, Cambridgeshire, is on sale for £600,000 and boasts a garden stretching an impressive 1,500 feet in length.
A Garden of Epic Proportions
This isn't your average lawn. The six-acre plot is a vast grass field that measures the same as the runway at London City Airport. Estate agents Richard Booth highlight that the scale of the land means the new owners will certainly need a sit-on lawnmower. The garden, which extends roughly a third of a mile, also features a yard with useful outbuildings and enjoys sweeping views over the open Cambridgeshire countryside.
Ideal for Equestrian or Business Ventures
The property's location and extensive grounds make it perfect for specific lifestyles. It is a neighbour to the Ely Eventing Centre and has an adjoining drove, ideal for country walks or horse riding. The agents suggest it would be ideal for those with an equestrian interest or looking to run a small business from home, though they humorously note that budding pilots aren't specifically mentioned.
Inside, the recently renovated home offers a kitchen with a breakfast room, a lounge, a dining room, and a refitted bathroom. Furthermore, the sale comes with added potential: planning consent has been approved for a two-storey extension and a new double garage.
A Viewing is Essential
"Having just been comprehensively renovated this three-bedroomed detached home in approximately six acres is ideal for those with an equestrian or smallholding interest, or possibly looking to run a small business from home," said a spokesperson for Richard Booth. "To fully appreciate the stylish interior, location and extent of the land on offer, a viewing is highly recommended." For anyone seeking space, peace, and unique potential, this Cambridgeshire home presents a rare opportunity.
