PROPERTY DETAILS

A Rare Opportunity in the Heart of Burwell

Steeped in history and character, Causeway House is a charming early 1900s semi-detached property, perfectly positioned in a highly desirable village location. Once serving as a place of refuge during the war—with its cellar used for shelter during bombing raids—this unique home beautifully blends period heritage with impressive proportions and enormous potential.

The property is in need of renovation, offering a wonderful opportunity for buyers to restore and reimagine it to their own taste and specification. Inside, it features three generously sized double bedrooms, two spacious reception rooms, and a large kitchen/breakfast room—providing an excellent foundation for a stunning family home. A well-proportioned bathroom with WC and the original cellar add practicality and character.

Outside, a large, privately enclosed rear garden provides a peaceful retreat, while off-street parking and a double garage ensure ample space and convenience.

Further enhancing its appeal, Causeway House also includes three self-contained commercial shop units, each with power, lighting, and their own access points. Currently occupied, these units benefit from a shared outbuilding with separate WC facilities—offering a valuable source of rental income or business potential.

Brimming with history, charm, and endless scope for transformation, Causeway House represents a truly rare opportunity to create something special in the very heart of this sought-after village.
