A distinctive two bedroom bungalow with extensive purpose-built canine facilities, set in approx. 10 acres, in a peaceful rural setting with lovely views.

Glatton Kennels presents a rare opportunity to combine relaxed country living with an exceptional range of established canine facilities. A spacious, modern two-double-bedroom bungalow, is set within approximately 10 acres of level land and surrounded by wide Fenland skies and open rural views. Formerly operated as licensed greyhound training kennels, the property is ideally suited to buyers seeking a home alongside a dedicated dog-training or boarding environment, while also offering potential for equestrian, smallholding or hobby-farming use, subject to any necessary consents.

The layout has been shaped around an outdoor, animal-focused way of life. Behind the residence, substantial kennel buildings, secure exercise paddocks and fenced grazing provide dedicated spaces for housing, handling, training and exercising dogs, while the in-and-out driveway and generous parking make access straightforward. For owners, the bungalow offers comfortable single-storey living.

Turves lies amid the open landscapes of the Fens, surrounded by expansive field views and offering an appealing sense of space and seclusion. This is a setting for buyers who value outdoor living, room for animals and a quieter pace, while remaining within reach of everyday amenities. Nearby Coates has a village shop and post office, and Whittlesey offers a wider range of services together with rail connections to major cities.
