An excellent opportunity to acquire a most individual five bedroom ‘upside down’ detached family house in this quiet village on the fringe of Cambridge. Offering flexible and deceptively spacious accommodation of approximately 2,900 sq. ft. internal viewing is strongly recommended to understand the layout and appreciate how unique the property is. Set within grounds of approximately five acres with brick workshop and storage and with the added benefit of planning permission being granted for a detached single storey dwelling. Occupying an elevated position with ample parking, Topfield House would be ideal for anyone considering working from home with a detached work studio or in need of a self contained annexe for aging relatives. As soon as you step out of the car, you immediately notice just how quiet it is. Walk towards the main door and let your journey begin. GROUND FLOOR A glazed front door with full height glazed windows either side leads in to the RECEPTION HALL which is a spacious and inviting area with a staircase leading to the first floor and doors leading to all rooms. This area fully open to the first floor ceiling, creating a wonderful sense of space and this sets the scale, which continues throughout the whole property.

LOCAL AREA West Wickham is a rural yet accessible village in south east Cambridgeshire small village close to the Suffolk and Essex borders; although, we understand that the parish covers some 2,931 acres. Its straight southern border follows the ancient track of Wool Street that divides it from the parishes of Linton and Horseheath. At the time of the Domesday Book, the parish contained three settlements: Wickham at the centre, plus the hamlets of Enhale, now Yen Hall, and Streetly which is now Streetly End. About twelve miles from the historic university city of Cambridge and also with convenient access to the market towns of Newmarket and Saffron Walden. West Wickham is an ideal location from which to enjoy access to a rural environment without feeling isolated. The location is also convenient for the access to the A11, M11 and Whittlesford Parkway station. Cambridge is a shopping, cultural and recreational centre in its own right with a commute from the city’s station taking from 45 minutes to London’s Kings Cross.

OUTSIDE The property is approached via a tarmacadam driveway, running alongside a lawn front garden with established tree and hedgerow. This leads to a front parking and turning area for numerous vehicles and in turn leads to the rear of the property and the OUTBUILDINGS which includes GARAGING, OFFICE, STABLES, STORE ROOM and further parking. To the side of the building there is an enclosed, full size TENNIS COURT. The rear garden commences with a large paved terrace and this adjoins an expanse of lawn with feature pond and water feature. There is an array of established flowering shrubs and trees which complement the grounds beautifully. The garden then leads directly in to one smaller paddock and three larger paddocks, all enclosed by post and rail fencing. The site in total, extends to approximately 5 acres.
