THE PROPERTY
Crossways is a magnificent family home in a highly
sought after town location, with a charming landscaped
garden. Built in 1898 by the renowned architect, Robert
Edis, known for his Queen Anne style of baroque
revival architecture, this stunning property has red brick
elevations under a peg tiled roof. Sympathetically renovated to the highest standard by the vendors, the property has many superb original period features including open fireplaces, sash, Venetian and canted bay windows, decorative cornicing and dado rails, terrazzo, oak wine barrel and parquet floors, mahogany hand rails and servants’ bells. Arranged over four floors, the house has over 7,000 sq ft of grandeur and the elegant style of the Victorian era, whilst benefiting from the specification of modern day living.

On the ground floor are the everyday living spaces
including an impressive kitchen/breakfast room with a
Range Master cooker, sitting room with wood burning
stove and French doors to the garden room and
playroom. A utility room, pantry, store cupboard, boiler
room, server room and large gym are also located on the
ground floor.

The upper floors are accessed via two staircases with
the butler staircase rising to the top floor. The first
floor houses the principal reception rooms which are
breathtaking in terms of proportion and elegance.
The outstanding triple aspect drawing room has an
impressive fireplace and French doors to the balcony.
The generously sized dining/snooker room provides
excellent entertaining space on a grand scale. The study
adjacent to this has excellent views over the garden.
The second floor has a generously proportioned principal
bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe and impressive Japanese bathroom with steam room and jet bath. There are three further bedrooms and two bathrooms to this floor.

The third floor has five bedrooms, two bath/shower
rooms and two useful store rooms.

LOCATION
Crossways is superbly situated in the town within
striking distance of the High Street, railway station
and Tattersalls. Newmarket is home to many racing
institutions including the National Stud, the National
Horseracing Museum, Tattersalls and the Jockey Club.
Some of the finest racing in the world is seen on the
Rowley Mile and the July Course. Newmarket itself
provides a good range of amenities including schools,
shopping facilities, hotels, restaurants and leisure
facilities, including health clubs, a swimming pool
and golf club; Cambridge and Bury St Edmunds offer
further amenities. There is excellent access to the A14
and A11 (M11). There is a branch line connection from
Newmarket to Cambridge and Ipswich. Cambridge,
Audley End and Whittlesford Parkway offer direct
rail lines into London, with the fastest trains taking
under one hour. Stansted International Airport is
approximately forty minutes’ drive.

OUTSIDE
Crossways has a private driveway off Cardigan Street
providing parking and a double garage. The detached
brick built double garage has an electric up and over
door to the front and pedestrian door to the garden,
storage and power and lighting. The front of the
property is approached through a cast iron pedestrian
gate with a stone path to the front door flanked by well
stocked flower and shrub beds. The front is enclosed
by a brick wall with a side gate leading to the garden.
The attractive and beautifully maintained walled garden
provides a delightful haven rarely found in town houses
but highly appropriate for a house of this stature and
style. A York stone paved terrace adjoins the garden
room with steps up to a manicured lawn, thoughtfully
planted raised flower and shrub beds and box hedging.
A further York stone paved terrace and arbour adjoin the
lawn with outside lighting and water taps.
