Peterborough Road, Whittlesey, Peterborough, Cambridgeshire

If You Thought The Front Drive Was Big, The Back Garden Is Even Bigger! This substantial detached family home has plenty of room inside too, with three double bedrooms, two reception rooms and a downstairs shower for anyone who struggles with stairs.

This three bedroom detached sits on a large 560m² (6,000ft²) plot, with space to park a fleet of cars on the gravel drive.

Double metal gates open to reveal a back garden area that’s almost three times as large as the front drive.

But before you start panicking about having to invest in a ride-on mower, there is a small lawn but most of the space is taken up with low maintenance paving slabs. They may need an annual jetwash but certainly won’t need weekly mowing.

If you need extra parking space you can drive through the gates. Alternatively the back garden can just be a versatile space to get outside and enjoy some fresh air.

There’s something for everyone. The kids can play on the lawn, the grown ups can sit out and enjoy the sun and there’s a greenhouse, garage and a substantial wooden summerhouse that could be a home office, gym or a garden bar!

Stepping inside, the ground floor has two reception rooms, a modern kitchen and a conservatory.

There’s a handy utility room and the main bathroom - it’s actually a shower room - is downstairs.

Given there’s a choice of reception rooms, this could be perfect if someone in the family struggles with stairs.

The living room could be converted into a ground floor bedroom (with access through to the kitchen via the conservatory), leaving the dining room to be the main social space.

One advantage of having the shower room downstairs is that there’s more room on the first floor for three equally sized double bedrooms - no small single bedroom or box room here.

Alternatively, given the amount of outside space there’s nothing to stop you looking at a two storey extension (STPP, of course!) to expand the ground floor and add an upstairs bathroom.

The property is right on the edge of town but it still takes less than 5 minutes drive to the centre of Whittlesey.

Being on the western edge of the town means it only takes 15 minutes to drive to the centre of Peterborough.

If you love getting out into the countryside, Kings Dyke Nature Reserve is only 4 minutes walk away. It’s currently closed for repairs after a landslip but should reopen again in 2025.

If you have younger children, Park Lane Primary School & Nursery is less than 5 minutes drive away, with Sir Harry Smith Community College (for older kids) just a couple of minutes further away.

This substantial and versatile property will make a lovely family home, with plenty of space inside and out.

It’s ready for you to move in and make yourselves at home.

I’m expecting plenty of interest, so call or complete the enquiry form to arrange a viewing.
