Radcliffe & Rust Estate Agents Cambridge are delighted to offer for sale this fantastic seven-bedroom, Georgian Grade II listed, detached property in the beautiful rural village of Isleham, in the Fens of southeast Cambridgeshire. Isleham benefits from a wealth of local amenities, including: convenience store, three public houses, The Beeche's Community Centre, playing fields, TFM Butchers and stunning country walks. This property is perfectly positioned for someone wanting village life but who needs easy links to the A11 and A14. Isleham sits directly in the centre of Ely, Newmarket and Bury St Edmunds but is less than 20 miles from Cambridge. This makes it perfect for commuters or those that like to be close to more urban areas for work or leisure. It brings the best of both worlds. And schools? Mill Street is in the catchment area for Isleham C of E Primary School (0.6 miles), and children over 11 usually attend secondary school at nearby Soham Village College. Both schools were rated 'Good' in their most recent Ofsted inspections.

45 Mill Street is something a bit special; in fact, the potential is off the scale. Set back from the road by a large driveway, you are greeted with the wow factor on arrival; the size of the property alone is impressive.

Once inside the house, a vast hallway with stairs directly in front of you leads up to the first floor. This entrance space leads into various areas of the house, each with several possible uses.this property is a blank canvas for anyone looking for a project. Whether you want to make it a home or a business, we will guide you through each room, and the options will unravel along the way.

As you stand in the entrance hallway, the first door on your left leads into a private apartment. As you enter the apartment, you find yourself in a spacious square-shaped lounge that overlooks the front of the property. This room is a good size and has a built-in electric fire. On either side of the fire are alcoves with built-in cupboards providing plenty of convenient storage space. Moving through the lounge, you arrive in the kitchen. A small table and chairs would fit perfectly in this room, directly in front of the window that floods the room with light. The wooden kitchen cupboards and décor are neutral, but the flash of colour from the tiles gives the whole room character. At the end of the kitchen is a large storage cupboard. Back out of the kitchen, towards the rear of the apartment, you arrive at a large hallway that provides access to the rear garden. This hallway has wall-mounted hooks and plenty of space for storing coats and shoes; even bikes, a pushchair or a desk would fit comfortably in this space. There are so many options.

From the hallway, stairs lead up to the first floor of the apartment. Immediately at the top is another small storage cupboard - something this property has in abundance. Moving around the landing, you arrive at the family bathroom on your right. This room is an avocado suite with a w.c., hand basin, and bath with wall mounted shower above. There is also a wall-mounted towel rail and shelving.

Continuing round the landing, there are two bedrooms joined with a connecting door. One room tightly fits a double bed but is more comfortable as a single if you wish to include additional furniture. The master bedroom next door, however, is of significant size and is a large double with plenty of space for other items. There are stairs leading up to this main bedroom and an original fireplace inside, which makes an attractive feature. With the neutral décor and large window overlooking the front of the property, this room is flooded with light and is an inviting room with lots of potential.

Some upgrading will be required throughout this flat, but the general structure is in excellent condition. It is also worth mentioning that this apartment has no access to the main part of the property either than via the entrance hallway; it is entirely separate and, therefore, private.

As you return to the main entrance hallway, the first door on your right leads into a second private apartment. You enter the apartment into an open-plan living area and kitchen. This space could be used as a lounge or dining room.maybe both with the right eye for design. Like the first apartment, this room has a huge window that looks out onto the front of the property and which floods the room with natural light. The floor throughout is wood and in excellent condition. On one wall has an electric fire with an attractive marble-effect surround, and on another are French doors that lead out to a small terrace suitable for a small table and chairs to enjoy the sun.

The open-plan kitchen is in the back corner of this ample space, which is neutral throughout (matching the rest of the room) and offers plenty of cupboard space. The kitchen is in excellent condition. As you look above you, an impressive chandelier style light fitting creates a real wow factor to this generous space.

To access the upstairs, you are led up a spiral staircase.yet another key feature of this apartment. Once at the top, you reach what the previous owners used as a lounge area. This space is neutral throughout and has another large window offering views across the beautiful village green. This apartment has just one bedroom, but it is a comfortable-sized double. The second door in the bedroom leads back out into the central/main part of the house, where you find yourself on the first floor landing, offering ample space for a desk or storage cupboards.

From the lounge area of the apartment again, another door leads into the second part of the upstairs space, which houses the bathroom and a large storage cupboard. The bathroom is large and modern and has a W.C., hand basin and spacious walk-in shower cubicle (there is no bath). Although apartment one could benefit from some modernisation, this apartment has been upgraded and is of high quality throughout. This apartment has two doors leading into the central/main part of the property, but these doors could be locked or bricked up to create a separate private space for sublet or other use.

Back into the main entrance hallway again, it's time to look at the main/central part of the property. This downstairs space is different from a typical family home as it was previously used as a restaurant. The hallway area is large with lots of potential for a seating area, desk, etc. There is definitely no shortage of room for a shoe or coat rack.the options are endless. As you go deeper into the property, past the stairs to your right, you first reach a door on the left that leads to what was once a W.C. for customers of the restaurant. One of these W.C.s has been converted into a basic bathroom, and the other is currently used for storage. The whole space will require renovation, but there is an impressive amount of space and no shortage of options. Next to the former W.C. is what was once the restaurant. Now this room is something quite extraordinary. In simple terms, it is a huge square-shaped room with multiple sets of French doors leading into the rear garden. What you choose to do with this space is any property investor's dream. It could be the most fantastic family space, designed as a lounge/dining room for busy family life and socialising with friends; it could be a restaurant again, a project for someone looking to build a successful business in a popular community. Whatever your vision, you must see the space to appreciate what it offers. Double doors leading into a large commercial kitchen are on one wall of this vast room. It can also be accessed via a set of small external stairs. The kitchen is presently used for storage and has a double stainless-steel sink. Like the restaurant, the potential for change and refurbishment is significant. The corridor out of the kitchen also leads to two additional rooms of similar size; the first was previously used as a cloakroom with separate W.C., and the second a small office. What they are used for next is an investor's dream. Opposite the door to the former W.C. in the main hallway is a door leading down into a large basement room, currently used as storage but with the potential for multiple uses. This room has a small window, door and a sink with plumbing.

Now, we head back to the main entrance hallway and head up the stairs.

Once upstairs onto the first-floor landing (in the main quarters of the property), the thing you see directly in front of you is another set of stairs and a large hallway. Walking around the hallway, you see a large office on your left, which could also be used as an additional bedroom, lounge area, gym or playroom. The space is a convenient size and shape, so its use has no restrictions. Further, down the hallway, you pass a large storage cupboard before entering the main family kitchen area. This room is an ample space with a bright feel created by the three large windows. All the kitchen cupboards are wooden with multicoloured tiles, which give a pop of colour and character. There is also enough space for a large table and chairs to spend quality family time or entertain with friends. The attractive tiled floor finishes the kitchen to a high standard. Off the kitchen, there is also a generous size utility room with the addition of a W.C. and hand basin. This room houses the boiler and has some handy shelving for additional storage.everything you need in a utility room fits in here perfectly!

The kitchen leads into an equally spacious square-shaped lounge area with an electric fireplace with marble-effect surround, making for an attractive feature in the room. On either side of the fireplace are alcoves, one of which has built-in shelves and storage cupboards, and the other a built-in TV unit. There is also a wall-mounted air conditioning unit. Back out of the kitchen and down the hallway, you find yourself at the bottom of some stairs. As you reach the top, the first room on your left is the second largest of the bedrooms, which overlooks the front of the property. This room is spacious and has a storage cupboard. Next to this bedroom is the beautiful family bathroom with a W.C., hand basin, heated towel rail, free-standing bathtub, and a large walk-in shower cubicle. The bathroom has been designed and maintained to a high standard and is a beautiful feature of the property.

Further, around the landing, you reach the other three bedrooms, with the master bedroom being right at the back of the property, overlooking the rear garden. The master bedroom has various built-in storage cupboards (we told you there was no shortage of storage in this property) and an ensuite with W.C., hand basin and shower cubicle.

The rear garden is a fair size, surrounded by fencing, and mainly laid to lawn to the right side and back of the property. Standing on the back lawn, looking towards the property, you can see the numerous sets of French doors leading out from what was previously the restaurant; these bring you out to a large patio area with plenty of room for outdoor furniture. Round to the left-hand side of the property, joining up with the garden at the back with concrete steps, you find yourself in a huge 'yard' that was once the restaurant car park. This is accessed via a set of gates to the left-hand side of the property. This space is being used for storage and benefits from three garages and storage unit. The area could be turned back into a car park or converted into an extension of the rear garden. Off the 'yard' area is a second, generous, lawn area. As we have said on many occasions.the potential for this property and the grounds outside are endless. If you are looking for a project, come and explore.
