Highfields, Polebrook, Peterborough, PE8

A spacious, family house with five bedrooms, double garaging and plenty of parking, set within lovely gardens of 0.34 acre, with field views.


Ashton House is a modern, detached property offering well-presented accommodation laid out over three floors. Designed to enjoy its superb, edge of village position, the principal rooms all look out over the beautiful garden and to the fields beyond. The smaller rooms have a lovely view across the village, towards the church. The large entrance hall provides access to the main ground floor rooms.

The sitting room enjoys a double aspect with doors opening to the garden. A handsome stone fireplace with inset wood burning stove makes a cosy focal point. A door leads through to the summer room, which has a view to the front and with doors opening to the rear garden.

Alterations and a large extension have taken place, creating a superb and light, live-in hub to the house, incorporating the kitchen, the dining room and the family room. The kitchen offers a range of wall and base units with worksurfaces and inset sink. The electric oven has a large hob above. There is space for a dishwasher and large fridge freezer. The breakfast bar is handy for casual dining. The dining area is sufficiently large for formal occasion and is open to the family room which is a superb addition to the house. This is wonderfully light and brings the garden into the home, with large windows and bi-fold doors opening to the garden. The utility room and separate guest cloakroom, complete the ground floor accommodation.

The first floor is approached via a staircase with half landing. The principal bedroom is a lovely, spacious room with views over the gardens and field to the rear and over the village to the front. Wardrobes run along two walls and provide excellent storage. The ensuite shower room is nicely appointed with twin wash basins, a large shower and WC. There are two further double bedrooms on this floor and a superbly appointed family bathroom.

The second floor has a landing which provides access to two further double bedrooms, each with commanding views to the front and rear. They have use of the shower room / WC set between them.

Ashton House is set behind a laurel hedge with a gate opening to the gravelled drive. This provides parking in front of the double width garage. A room above provides storage and offers potential for conversion to a games room or office. A second, gated drive runs behind the garage, providing further parking and affording access to the rear garden. A large patio spans the back of the house and offers space for alfresco dining. Steps lead up to the formal lawn which has symmetrical beds set around a sunken pond with water feature. A path continues between further beds to the rear boundary. To one side is a productive kitchen garden with raised beds. Flower and shrub beds are set to the edge of the lawn. A paved terrace overlooks the fields.
