Kettle Row Farm is thought to be one of the oldest buildings on the Drove and is nicely set back from the road behind mature hedges and a lawned garden.

The property was originally a row of cottages, converted in the past to a single dwelling, and has been much improved and modernised by the current owners, who have also added the equestrian facilities. The vendors keep their own competition horses.

Barroway Drove is a small Fenland village to the west of Downham Market and the River Great Ouse, in an area of productive arable farmland. Downham Market offers a good range of local shops and amenities, including a doctor’s surgery, and there is a selection of both state and private schooling available nearby. There are excellent road links for commuters, and Downham Market provides rail links to Cambridge (approx. 30 mins), and on to London Kings Cross, which is a further approx. 45 mins by fast train.

In the Agent’s opinion the property offers potential, subject to gaining the necessary consents for extension of the existing house, or for the development of an additional property.
