In the unique atmosphere of the Fens’ landscape of huge skies, spectacular sunsets and fishing rivers, this cluster of quality barn conversions is the perfect place to relax and unwind. This tranquil spot boasts footpath walks on the owners’ 280 acre arable farm, an undercover courtyard and an indoor heated swimming pool and hot tub. Nearby, the beautiful clear waters of the Rivers Wissey and the Great Ouse offer good fishing, and the nature reserves at Wicken Fen and Welney are a must for bird lovers. Cyclists will enjoy the miles of quiet, signed country lanes and the coastal marshes of the Wash afford long, peaceful walks. Ely (6 miles), occupying the largest island in the Fens, has a history dating back to Hereward the Wake and, later, Oliver Cromwell. Its superb 11th century cathedral is surrounded by monastic buildings, medieval gateways and narrow streets leading down to the marina and river walks. King’s Lynn and Cambridge are easily accessible. Shops, riverside inns and restaurants at Littleport (3 miles).

Backing onto farmland and within two minutes’ walk of the Great Ouse River, this spacious and comfortable, detached property is ideally located for exploring the Fens and surrounding areas. With direct access to the road between Ely (6 miles) and Downham Market, it lies within 25 miles of Cambridge, King’s Lynn and Peterborough. Wicken Fen and Oxburgh Hall (both N.T.) are an easy drive and the beach at Hunstanton is 36 miles. Excellent opportunities for fishing and boating are nearby. Pub 1 mile, shops 2 miles.
