Pratt Street, Soham, Ely, Cambridgeshire, CB7

An unlisted property in a conservation area – positioned close to the town centre of Soham on the corner of Ten Bell Lane – first time to the market in over 70 years. A wonderful opportunity to acquire an interesting period property with so much potential to update now.

30 Pratt Street
The property presents to the street, brick elevations under a tiled roof, with sash windows and the central front door, behind a low brick wall with wrought iron railings above. The rear elevations of the property are pebble-dashed, and under flat / tiled / slate roofs, with some double glazed windows to the rear. The property is attached to one neighbour to the rear.

The front door with stained glass panels, leads into the attractive double height hallway – which features an elegant turning staircase, stained glass high level landing window, with doors into all three reception rooms. The original sitting room, is a good size with a ‘modern’ brick built fireplace, sash window to the front, and double doors to a further reception room in an extension to the rear.

The second original reception room to the front, which has had several different uses – originally the dining room, more recently used commercially as a hairdressing salon, and also as a ground floor bedroom. There is a vanity basin plumbed in, and two storage cupboards.

There is a useful utility room, originally a small kitchen, with space and plumbing for appliances, an oil fired boiler, with an internal window, which leads into the ground floor shower room with a window to the side.

The rear extension incorporates a large reception room, this space has a flat roof above, potentially giving an opportunity to build over to extend the first floor accommodation.

To one end of this is a kitchen with modern white units, space for cooker, and unusually with a glass conservatory style roof. This space is probably now ready for updating / replacement.

The turning stairs lead to a galleried central landing, with doors to both spacious bedrooms on the first floor.

Bedroom 1 has some built in wardrobes, and a small tiled fireplace, sash window to the front, continues with access through a lobby area with a built in wardrobe and cupboards above, and access hatch up to the second floor attic. The attic was historically used for accommodation and has the potential, for adding further accommodation into the roof void and possibly reinstating dormers, subject to gaining the relevant approvals.

This lobby also leads through to the first floor bathroom. This is a spacious room, with window to the rear, fitted with white suite, separate bath and shower, and airing cupboard. The second bedroom is also a generously sized double room, sash window to the front, with two built in cupboards.

Outside
To the front the small garden area is gravelled for low maintenance. A real feature is to the rear the property - enjoying a generous walled garden with a south-easterly aspect, mainly laid to lawn and with a summerhouse to the end. Immediately behind the house and garage is a concreted patio area covered with a timber / polycarbonate roof veranda construction. There is an oil tank to the side and plenty of space to add further shed(s) etc if required. There is rear access through the garage to the street.

The double garage has 2 electric up-and-over doors, with further rear garage doors, for vehicle access through to the rear garden, and pedestrian access via a gate to the side.
