Thorpe Meadows, Peterborough, PE3 6GA

Location -

Set within a stones throw from The Rowing Course, this wonderful home on Thorpe Meadows offers versatile living, with beautiful views of The Marina behind. The newly refurbished Boathouse is a stones throw away and it is situated to the East of Ferry Meadows Country Park. It's a great place to walk the dog and explore the cycle routes nearby. Its proximity to the city centre and train station make the location of this home perfect for those requiring commuter access in and out of Peterborough.

The Home -

Upon approaching the home is a driveway which can fit three vehicles on and a double garage. The home itself has plenty of kerb appeal, with its unique build style and upon entering the porch, it leads off to the four reception rooms, kitchen/diner and utility area.

The kitchen is the heart of this home and was recently refitted. It's beautifully presented and comes with integrated NEFF appliances. A double oven, extractor hood, dishwasher and five ring induction hob are all included, along with an instant hot water tap which also provides ambient, filtered water. There is also an integrated tall fridge and separate tall freezer. The utility room provides all outlets for a washing machine and tumble dryer and has access to the side of the home.

Adjoining bi-fold doors look out onto the rear garden and fantastic views can be enjoyed from within the dining area or just outside on the patio. It's a wonderful space and one of our favourite features this home offers.

Just off the kitchen is a snug which has sliding patio doors, which again have wonderful views of the garden. It's a great space and could be used as a child's playroom too, bringing versatility to this home. Leading down the hallway brings you to the living room which is very spacious and bright. There is another set of sliding patio doors and the dual aspect windows offer plenty of light into the room. The dining room is front facing and offers an ideal space away from the rest of the home for entertaining, newly fitted windows with inset blinds offer privacy to the room and the study sits just off this. It's a great space for those who work from home and there is access to the rear garden from this room too. This room was added to the property in the mid 90's and was well thought through by its current owners. A downstairs WC and porch complete the living accommodation on this level.

Upstairs offers three double bedrooms and a single bedroom. The master room is an excellent size and benefits from an ensuite which contains a shower cubicle, toilet and hand basin. It was refitted approximately twelve years ago, along with the family bathroom. The outstanding feature of this room is without doubt the balcony. Accessed via sliding patio doors, its a great space to sit for that first morning coffee or a last-minute nightcap! Views of the Marina and the gardens can be enjoyed from this aspect throughout the day.

Bedroom two also contains an en-suite bathroom and fitted wardrobes. There are dual aspect windows which again bring plenty of light into the room and the en-suite has a separate shower cubicle, bath, toilet and hand basin. Bedroom three sits at the front of the property and bedroom four is a single room, which has great views of the garden.

The family bathroom completes the accommodation on this level and offers a separate shower and a bathtub with an inset TV. It, along with the en-suite to the master bedroom is of a contemporary nature and compliments the rest of the home very well.

Outside -

The rear garden is split into two sections and is presented beautifully. If you are a keen gardener, then this garden will tick a lot of boxes for you! There are various fruit trees scattered around the garden to include peach, lime, apricot and fig trees to name a few! The garden has plenty of outside lighting which looks lovely at night and it also has access down to the Marina, where you can dock your boat or set sail down the river. The garden is segregated into two areas and it's been very well maintained over the years by its current owners. There is a side door which leads into the garage and a storeroom which sits directly behind the garage.

The Marina -

This home is one of a few homes to benefit from the use of the Marina, being able to dock a boat, and sail away down the river. A boat of up to 49 foot can be docked at the Marina. A yearly charge for the upkeep of the Marina and its banks is payable upon owning this property, with last year's charge being £425. Each resident becomes a shareholder of the Thorpe Meadows Residents Company upon purchasing this home.
