By the banks of the River Great Ouse, you’ll find leafy, tree-lined walking trails, serene woodlands, and a fabulous studio cottage. A five-mile drive from the ancient cathedral city of Ely, and just over thirteen to the cobbled streets of Cambridge, this home offers a country retreat with easy access to some of Cambridgeshire’s most beautiful built-up areas. In contrast to the rural and rugged surroundings, the interiors of this cottage are fresh, modern, and have a certain understated elegance. In the vast, open-plan living space, black metal beams support the vaulted ceiling. Scandi-style furniture beckons you in to relax in the lounge area, while industrial-style hanging bulbs usher you towards the kitchen island to prepare a rustic, country meal. While you’ve got the entire countryside to explore, you’ve also got a private garden with a cute dining set on the patio. Light up the barbecue and grill something fresh for supper. And after the stars come out, we think this is the perfect spot to pop a bottle of chilled champagne and say cheers to country living.
