" Sowerbys are delighted to offer a wonderful opportunity to acquire a substantial and historically important Grade II listed period residence in the Georgian market town of Wisbech. Positioned on the edge of the town with panoramic river views, first hand inspection of this fine home is essential to appreciate the size and quality of residence on offer.
The Original house was built in the 18th century and extensively altered by the Peckover family in the 19th century. The Peckover family were wealthy private bankers, with Sibalds Holme being their principle residence. A further estate - Peckover House and Gardens was later bequeathed to the National Trust. In the 1930s the house was divided into two and we now proudly present the home for sale. Owned for approximately 15 years by the current vendors this property is a complete delight; having been extensively modernised around the large amount of original features. We feel the balance of contemporary living space around period living is perfect.
The property is entered into via an original glass conservatory through a huge door to the reception hall with Yorkstone flooring. There is a WC, study/library, drawing room and dining, all with their own unique features including part-leaded and obscured sash windows, decorative fireplaces and stunning geometric ceiling work. The kitchen/breakfast and family room is something of a wonder being eight metres in length with a four metre ceiling height. It is complete with handmade kitchen and island unit, slate flooring and picture window over rear garden. The remaining accommodation is set over two further floors with a total of five spacious double bedrooms with more original fixtures and some excellent elevated views, there are also two family bathrooms. Outside, the property offers a surprising sized garden which the vendors describe as a hidden oasis. The Yorkstone terrace at the rear leads to lawn which extend to the second part of the garden where there is a natural pond surrounded by mature trees. Amazingly we understand the plot to extend to approximately ½ acre (sts).
WISBECH Wisbech is an attractive and historic market town commonly known as the Capital of the Fens. Near the bridge is a monument to Thomas Clarkson, an active opponent of the slave trade. Also of interest are the two market places and the parish church of St Peter and St Paul, which has a fine 16th century tower. The Norman Castle has long since disappeared, but there is a house built from its stone by Thomas Thurloe, Cromwell's Secretary of State. Adjoining it is a great museum, one of the oldest in the country, which counts among its treasures the original manuscript of 'Great Expectations' by Charles Dickens. In the area there is very good walking and cycling, farm shops nearby, theatre - amateur and professional, a swimming pool, library, good schools- including the highly thought of Wisbech Grammar School, and a Salvation Army hall. The town is only 20 minutes from King's Lynn with its direct rail link to Kings Cross via Cambridge approx 1 hour 40 minutes. Peterborough is 35 minutes away with its national rail links.
