Chain Free in Wisbech

Nestled along the historic and sought after North Brink in the heart of Wisbech - a characterful market and former port town steeped in Georgian and Victorian heritage - this stunning double bay-fronted Edwardian residence offers an exceptional lifestyle opportunity for those seeking space, elegance and a seamless blend of period charm and modern family living. The National Trust’s Peckover House and Gardens, a celebrated local landmark, lies just a short walk along the Brink, underscoring the remarkable setting of this unique home.

From the moment you step into the grand entrance hall with its original tiled floor, soaring ceilings and sweeping staircase, you are immediately struck by the timeless grace and scale of this home. Lovingly restored and thoughtfully enhanced by its current owners over the past 16 years, every inch of this home radiates with a sense of quality, calm and considered craftsmanship.

The ground floor is host to a series of beautifully proportioned reception rooms, each flooded with natural light from tall windows and graced with intricate cornicing and open fireplaces. The living room and snug both enjoy views to the front through generous bay windows, while the study opens into a truly special space - the magnificent Victorian-style conservatory, where full-height glass offers tranquil, elevated views across the extensive rear gardens. This is a space to pause, unwind and reconnect with nature through the changing seasons.

To the rear, the dining room and kitchen form the heart of the home. Ideal for family life and entertaining in equal measure, this part of the house flows effortlessly from the log-burning dining room with french doors onto the terrace, into the warm, welcoming bespoke hardwood kitchen complete with electric AGA and views to the garden beyond.

With five generously sized bedrooms upstairs, including a beautifully reimagined principal suite with luxurious en-suite, every member of the family is afforded their own sanctuary. A separate wing of the first floor offers a unique retreat, ideal for multi-generational living, guests or older children, with its own en-suite and discreet access.

Set within approximately 0.68 acres (STMS) of expertly landscaped gardens, this home offers rare peace and privacy with a carriage driveway to the front and a patchwork of mature trees, formal lawns, orchard planting and secret seating spots to the rear. Whether it’s summer barbecues on the terrace, morning coffee in the conservatory or children running freely through the gardens, this is a home that invites you to live outdoors as much as in.

Despite its sense of seclusion, the location is wonderfully convenient—just a short walk to the town centre, local schools and everyday amenities. With walks, runs and bike rides available quite literally from the doorstep, it’s easy to see how life here brings a better balance.

WISBECH
Commonly known as the Capital of the Fens, the attractive and historic market town of Wisbech is renowned for its elegant Georgian architecture. The town has an abundance of amenities to offer, such as a theatre, swimming pool, library, good schools and the Horsefair Shopping Centre. Browse the shops or visit the market on a Thursday or Saturday with a wide range of traders offering locally grown produce and plants.

Explore the surroundings by taking a leisurely walk through the tranquil gardens in the heart of the town centre, which have been awarded a commendation award for Innovation for its links to the town’s Merchant Trail. The Merchant’s trail shares the history of the many famous characters of the town, telling the story of how Wisbech became one of the most prosperous ports in the country during the 18th and 19th centuries.

Wisbech Park is just a five minute walk from the town centre. Extending to over 12 acres, the facilities include tennis courts, bowls green, two children’s play areas and a multi-use games area for five-a-side and basketball.

Once owned by a Quaker banking family for over 150 years, Peckover House and Gardens is a classic Georgian merchant’s town house, which is certainly worth a visit. Now in the care of National Trust, Peckover House is an oasis hidden away from the town centre with two acres of beautiful Victorian gardens.
