A home in Fowlmere that dates back to the 17th century - and has a secret tunnel from the time of Henry VIII - has gone on the market.

Hill View Cottage in the High Street has been listed by estate agents Ensum Brown with a guide price of £425,000, with the Grade II-listed property already attracting plenty of interest.

"Most properties get around 60 clicks a day on Rightmove, this one received over 10,000 in a single day at the weekend," said Neil Wise, managing director of Ensum Brown.

The four-bedroom home comes with two receptions, a bathroom and enclosed garden.

"The front door opens up into a nice sized dining space, with a bay window to a front aspect, exposed beams and upstands, an original exposed brick fireplace with a wood-burning stove, pendant and sconce lighting, carpets, stairs to the first floor, and ample space for a large dining setting," reads the listing.

"The lounge is equally a good sized reception room, with two sash windows to a front aspect, exposed beams and upstands, carpets, sconce lighting, and space for lounge and storage furniture.

"The kitchen is a bright and airy space, with three windows and a door to a dual aspect, allowing in lots of light, a range of units, laminate worktops, herringbone tiled flooring, pendant lighting, tiled splash backs, and space for a variety of large kitchen appliances.

"There is also a door down to a basement area, with lots of space for storage, as well as a historic underground tunnel."

The tunnel joins up with a number historic properties in the village and a small central meeting room.

It is believed the tunnel was used as an escape route by Catholics and Protestants to avoid persecution after Henry VIII created the church of England.

It is likely the last remaining entrance to the tunnel, with others having been sealed off.
