Broadway runs north/south connecting Earlsfield Road with Midgate which in turn leads to St John’s Street.

Shops, restaurants and bars are also prevalent, many of which benefit from residential upper parts.

Location and transport

The block is located approximately 1.1 km (0.7 miles) from Peterborough train station, a 15 minute walk, providing convenient commuter access. Direct mainline services to London King’s Cross run from Peterborough with journey times of around 54 minutes, making the location attractive to professionals working in the capital. The property also benefits from strategic road connectivity to the A1(M), A47 and A14 corridors, which supports both resident mobility and the substantial regional logistics and distribution economy.

Peterborough

Peterborough’s investment case is underpinned by strong transport connectivity on the East Coast Main Line, fast direct links to London and strategic road access, which together support durable commuter and rental demand. The city has experienced sustained population growth in recent years, driving a long term requirement for housing and a steady occupier base for 1–2 bed units. Ongoing city centre regeneration and a healthy development pipeline are enhancing amenity and attracting occupiers, while a diversified local economy — including public services, logistics, manufacturing and distribution — provides a broad employment base and occupational stability. Relative affordability compared with Greater London and some regional cities gives investors stronger entry yields and capital growth potential, and the local demographic mix of students and young professionals creates persistent demand for well specified apartments. These factors combine with continued investor appetite for regional mid market residential blocks to make Peterborough an attractive market for property investment.

Licensing
