The Fold, Coates, Peterborough, Cambridgeshire

Three Ground Floor Bedrooms, Two Doors From School, One Blank Canvas Bungalow That’s Ready For You. A rare chance to create your dream single-storey family home with space to grow, a garden to play in and a substantial plot with potential to personalise.

If you've been waiting for the right family friendly project in the right location, this could be a wildcard choice for buyers who keep an open mind about bungalows.

Set on a private plot in the heart of Coates – and just a couple of doors down from the primary school – this extended 3-bedroom bungalow gives you the chance to reimagine family living on your own terms.

Bungalows aren’t just for older buyers who struggle with stairs - plenty of families are seeing the benefits of single storey living too.

It does need work but there’s already plenty to work with.

Inside, you’ve got three bedrooms (two doubles and a large single) and a 31ft (9.45m) living room / dining room that runs from front to back. There’s a separate fitted kitchen with plenty of room to sit and eat and a conservatory overlooking the back garden.

The four piece bathroom could benefit from a modern glow-up but there’s plenty of space to create something spa-like and special.

The layout is flexible and versatile, the room sizes are generous, and everything is set across one level, so no stairs, no stair gates, no drama.

Outside, the large secluded plot really delivers. There’s a gravel driveway with space for several cars, a detached double garage and a wraparound garden with space for kids, pets and outdoor plans of all kinds.

If your plans went beyond a quick lick of paint there’s plenty of potential for landscaping, growing or extending (subject to planning permission).

Whether you’re upsizing, downsizing or just starting out, this is a home that could grow with you. Want to open up the living space? Add a garden office? Refresh the kitchen or bathroom? All the foundations are here – it just needs your vision.

Coates is a close-knit village just outside Whittlesey, with its own shop, post office, school and village green – and regular buses into Peterborough. You’ve got countryside on your doorstep, but everything else is within easy reach.

Given it’s so close to the primary school it would be such a shame if it wasn’t snapped up by a family - it’s got all the makings of a fantastic long term family home that will serve you for years to come.

It’s not often that a true blank canvas like this comes along – especially in such a family-friendly spot. If you’re ready to make something truly yours, this could be the right place to start.

I’m expecting plenty of interest (bungalows are always popular), so call or complete the enquiry form to arrange a viewing.
