It’s ideal having all the benefits of a village community but being within such easy reach of a town” Built less than fifteen years ago in a traditional style not dissimilar from the Georgian period with a symmetric façade, 12 Leverington Common is a large, handsome, detached property commanding some presence in the heart of the village of Leverington. In dusky pink coloured bricks, sash windows with yellow stone sills, and keystones above, it has been sturdily built over three floors, to a high calibre using quality materials, on land that was originally orchards.

The property has an attractive outlook over Peppermint Hall on the other side of the road, a Georgian residence behind parkland railings, and is not far from The Rising Sun public house, an excellent establishment serving good food. To the rear of the property to one side, stands an impressive annex adjoining the house’s double garages, making it a very substantial property indeed. Although the owners haven’t let out this space themselves, there is permission to do so should the new owner wish to gain an income.

Open Plan Design

The property is set back behind a brick wall with a recently gravelled drive to the front. You enter under an open, pitch-roofed porch and into a tiled entrance hall which is light, bright and spacious with double doors on either side opening into comfortable and commodious reception rooms. Decorative cornicing in a dentil design features around ceilings with central roses, indicating the quality of fittings and attention to detail, whilst each room has a fireplace accommodating a log-burning stove. All the rooms are extremely large, light and airy with decorative features continuing; at the back, the open plan kitchen (with its large island/breakfast bar) and expansive dining area leads into a games room, all three open plan rooms spanning the whole width of the house. Two sets of French doors open onto the garden and patio making it not only a house ideal for family life, but also perfect for entertaining: “We’ve had many a tremendous party here as the house can accommodate so many people at once,” the owner enthuses, “and there’s been plenty of space for the children to have lots of friends over, especially with the annex as well.” There is permission to rent out the annex. It’s a sizeable building with loads more space. Not only does it have two bedrooms downstairs, and another with an There are four very generously sized double bedrooms on the first floor, three having en suites, and a family bathroom on the landing for the fourth, en suite in the attic, there are two further rooms up there that are currently used for whilst the second floor, in the eaves of the roof, has three more double storage, but – with planning permission – could become more bedrooms” bedrooms of excellent proportions, natural light flooding in through rooflights.

“There is certainly a wonderful community spirit in the village. We have been so happy here and our immediate neighbours have become very good friends. Someone generally hosts a bonfire and firework party when we all get together bringing food and wine,” says the owner. “In the summer when it’s hot, we have found this house lovely and cool at the back, as the front is south facing. You can sit and roast on a chair outside the front door, and then cool off by moving out to the back of the house for some shade!” laughs the owner. However, the garden, which is bordered by lapboard fencing and has paved terracing from the back of the house, is large enough and extends far enough back to capture the sun’s rays on the lawn or on the patio alongside the annex. There is also a summerhouse in one corner. For any keen gardener with creative ideas, the garden is the perfect blank canvas for landscaping, or as it is, it makes an excellent area for children to kick around a football!

Prime Location

Leverington sits on the outskirts of Wisbech to the northwest. It is an attractive village with several large houses in grounds full of mature trees. The spire of St. Leonard’s church, perhaps the most graceful in the county, is a prominent landmark. The house is located within easy walking distance of many local amenities: a post office, playing fields, the Sports and Social Club, the church and its hall, the primary school (which is said to be one of the best in Wisbech), and within a fifteen minute walk you can be in the middle of Wisbech for supermarkets, Wisbech Grammar School (perhaps one of the most sought after independent schools in the country), and the Hudson Leisure Centre. “It’s ideal having all the benefits of a village community but being within such easy reach of a town,” concludes the owner.
