Description


SUMMARY
West Street, Helpston - A Hidden Gem of Space, Style and Seclusion.


DESCRIPTION
Tucked away in the heart of the picturesque village of Helpston, 1A West Street is a fully renovated and sympathetically upgraded period cottage that seamlessly blends traditional charm with modern living. Deceptive from the outside, this substantial home offers far more than meets the eye-an internal viewing is essential to truly appreciate the scale and quality of accommodation on offer.

At the heart of the home lies a beautifully refurbished, high-quality kitchen/family room, thoughtfully designed for everyday living and entertaining. This stunning open-plan space is both functional and welcoming, flowing from a large, light-filled entrance hall with elegant flooring that sets the tone for the rest of the property.

The ground floor is further enhanced by:

A large formal dining room, perfect for hosting, with a companion room, a separate, cozy lounge with French doors opening onto the rear garden

There is a ground floor bathroom for added convenience

Upstairs, the property boasts five generously proportioned bedrooms, including a refitted ensuite and modern family bathrooms, all finished to a high standard with attention to detail throughout.

Outside, the property continues to impress. Accessed via a covered carport, the rear of the home opens to a beautifully landscaped, two-tier private garden.

This serene space offers a large block-paved courtyard providing ample off-road parking for multiple vehicles, which in turn leads to a garage and turning space

A raised lawn area bordered by stone walls and mature trees, offering peace, privacy, and an ideal setting for family life or entertaining guests

Additionally, the current vendors have invested in Solar Energy when refurbishing the property, in order to 'Future Proof' this outstanding home for generations to come. In brief the property can boast the following:

- 22 x Sharp PV panels = 9kW capacity
- 5kWh of battery storage with high power inverter. Modular system expandable to 17.5kWh.
- Enabled for export tariff to sell surplus power,
* iBoost for immersion heating from surplus power
* Zappi 7kW EV car charging - also enabled for v cheap, overnight EV import tariff (6p/kWh)

In outline, house is off-grid for majority of April to September. Overnight off-peak tariff use to recharge batteries to allow off-grid management during the day, supplemented by PV.

The solar should make savings of around £2k per year when compared with standard electric and oil utility charges.


Perfectly positioned for families, the property sits within catchment for highly regarded local schools, including The John Clare Primary School and Arthur Mellows Village College, with excellent transport links to Peterborough and beyond, including high-speed rail connections.

This truly exceptional home offers the perfect balance of village charm, space, and modern comfort - a rare find in this sought-after location.
