A countryside home with a garden the same length as the runway at London’s City airport has gone on sale for £600,000.
The three-bed home, situated at Little Downham, near Ely in Cambridge, features a 500ft-long garden.
The detached property has recently been renovated and now comes with a huge lawn, a big rear patio, outbuildings and plenty of parking.
Planning consent has also been approved for a two-storey extension that would turn the home into a five-bed with four en-suites and a new double garage with a room above it.
Estate agents say the home which included ‘one of Britain’s longest back gardens’ would be ideal for those looking to run a small business or have an equestrian interest.
The six-acre grass-field garden also includes a yard with outbuildings and overlooks the countryside.
The home features an entrance hall, lounge, separate dining room, a refitted kitchen and breakfast room with pantry, a refitted utility and cloakroom, three bedrooms and a refitted bathroom.
Estate agent Richard Booth said: ‘To fully appreciate the stylish interior, location and extent of the land on offer, a viewing is highly recommended.’
It has a brand new kitchen and bathroom and has been freshly decorated, rewired and re-plastered.
A new oil-fired central heating system has been installed along with new windows and doors, and upgraded insulation to help cut energy bills.
The listing states: ‘Having just been comprehensively renovated, this three-bedroomed detached home in approximately 6 acres is ideal for those with an equestrian or smallholding interest, or possibly looking to run a small business from home, subject to obtaining any necessary planning consents.
‘The property sits within a plot of approximately six acres, with approximately 5.5 of those acres being a grass field.’
