The Anchor
The Anchor is an idyllic, heritage, riverside property enjoying stunning views across the Ouse Washes. It offers a large rear garden which is perfect for al fresco dining and simply relaxing in. There is also a play area with trampoline, swing, seesaw and climbing frame for children or table tennis for the adults too. Dating back to the 17th century, this detached cottage was refurbished in 2021 and has been modernised to offer wonderful holiday accommodation. Set over two floors, the cottage has a ground floor living room featuring a large inglenook fireplace which oozes original character and charm. Upstairs are four wonderful bedrooms, each with a Smart TV and its own modern bathroom and shower room facilities. Two of the bedrooms have private, yet interconnecting rooms, offering comfortable sofa beds. The well-equipped kitchen has a large breakfast island for dining, a child friendly dining table, and boasts a commanding elevated view of the river, lawned garden and dining terrace below. The kitchen also leads to a balcony area with furniture.
Origins for The Anchor date back to the early 1700s, when it was originally built to provide lodgings and sustenance for the workers during draining of the Fens and its New Bedford River. This was actually a straight canal, formerly used by merchants to transport their goods, and is now used only for recreational purpose and acts as a natural haven for wild birds.
Situated on the edge of The Fens, the Anchor is surrounded by scenic tracks and routes for walkers, runners, amblers, cyclists, rowers and fishing, all benefiting from the stunning views of the River Great Ouse and its meadows. The property nestles quietly in the small rural hamlet of Sutton, just 15 minutes’ drive from historical Ely and 30 minutes’ drive from the University City of Cambridge. You can even enjoy a day at the races with Newmarket Racecourse less than 40 minutes’ drive away. Shop 7 miles, pub 1 mile and restaurants 2 miles.
