Saxon Road, Whittlesey, Peterborough, Cambridgeshire

Immaculate Four Bedroom Chalet Bungalow On A Substantial Plot, Ready For You To Move In And Make Yourselves At Home. This impressive property could be an unusually versatile home for modern families who can keep an open mind about bungalows…

Attitudes have certainly changed since Saxon Road’s bungalows were built in the 1960’s and 70’s. Back then, bungalows were exclusively bought by older residents, looking for manageable homes without stairs. Now open minded families consider them as a practical alternative to a traditional two storey terrace or semi.

And just as attitudes have changed in the last 50 years, bungalows aren’t always limited to just the one floor these days.

Which brings us neatly to Saxon Road.

The original single storey, two bedroom semi detached layout is pretty much unrecognisable in 2024.

Viewed from the quiet and well maintained street it looks like a ‘normal’ semi-detached bungalow. The small dormer in the roof being the only giveaway that changes might have been made.

But when you step inside you’ll find an immaculate, thoroughly modern family home spread across two spacious floors.

The ground floor has a large lounge and a stylish and modern fitted kitchen, with space to sit and eat whilst you look out to the neat back garden.

Both rooms are decorated in a crisp, contemporary style - the perfect blank canvas for you to add your own personality and flashes of colour.

There’s a handy utility room which could also be used as a sun room. It’s certainly a nice enough room to be more than just a place for the washing machine, tumble drier or clothes horse.

So far, so normal.

What you certainly don’t expect when you go through from the living room to the stairs is a spacious ground floor double bedroom.

That makes this versatile property particularly attractive if someone lives with you who struggles with stairs.

It would be simple enough to put back a door through from the ground floor bedroom to the hall. That would make it quick and easy to access to get from the bedroom to the stylish shower room - creating something of a home within a home.

Upstairs has a further three bedrooms and a tiled family bathroom.

The property sits on a substantial plot with space to park a couple of cars on the block paved drive at the side and a low maintenance gravel garden at the front (that could be used for additional parking).

The back garden has a choice of seating areas to make the most of the afternoon and evening sun, along with a lawn for the kids to play on.

It’s only a 3 minute drive or a 15 minute walk from the centre of Whittlesey. Here you’ll find plenty of shops, cafés and pubs, along with a thriving local community.

Peterborough is only 20 minutes drive away or half an hour on the train.

If you have younger children, Park Lane Primary & Nursery School is only 10 minutes walk or a short drive away.

For older kids, Sir Harry Smith Community College (rated “Good” by Ofsted) is only a 25 minute walk or 7 minute bike ride away.

If you love nature, Kings Dyke Nature Reserve is only 17 minutes walk or 3 minutes drive away, with plenty of country walks on your doorstep.

If you’re open to the idea of living in a chalet bungalow and are looking for an immaculate home that’s perfect for a growing family (especially if you need an accessible bedroom and shower), you need to check out this fabulous property on Saxon Road.
