Tayberry Way, Whittlesey, Peterborough, Cambridgeshire

Smart Buyers Don’t Buy New, They Buy Nearly New. Since being built in 2022 this Taylor Wimpey four-bed has had the garden done, the kitchen upgraded and the snag list’s been dealt with. If you like modern homes, it all adds up to a much smarter move.

When you buy a three year old home you get all the benefits of a new build - energy efficiency, fresh design, low maintenance - but without the mud, delays or endless decisions. And here, there’s a smarter kitchen, a finished garden, and thoughtful upgrades throughout - all without the usual snagging stress.

Downstairs, there’s a spacious living room at the front and a full-width kitchen/diner at the back - with plenty of room for both weekday chaos and weekend calm.

The kitchen’s had a few clever extras added - including a central island with breakfast bar, high-spec AEG appliances, a sleek black composite sink and upgraded pull-out spray tap.

There’s a separate utility area and a downstairs loo too - all tucked neatly off the hall.

Upstairs, you’ve got four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a layout that feels well-balanced. The main bedroom has its own en-suite shower room with a new rainfall head, and the rest of the family aren’t left out - the main bathroom has one too.

Outside, the current owners have already sorted the bits you usually have to live without for the first couple of years in a new build. The garden’s been landscaped to include a new block paved seating area that’s ready for your first BBQ (with planning permission in place to put a garage here, if you needed the extra storage space).

There’s also a block-paved driveway at the side and a low maintenance garden at the front.
And with 7 years left on the NHBC warranty, it’s still got that peace-of-mind that new home buyers love.

Whittlesey Fields is a lovely development of 2, 3 and 4 bedroom homes that’s become popular with young couples & families.

The Taylor Wimpey website describes the development as “offering the perfect balance of urban convenience and a rural lifestyle”.

That means you’re on the eastern edge of town, so whilst it’s only a 3 minute drive to the town centre, you can be out in the open fields in seconds.

It’s only 2 minutes in the car along Eastrea Road to Alderman Jacobs Primary School and Sir Harry Smith Community College.

The new Aldi is just round the corner.

If you’re weighing up a brand new home on the same estate, you really should check this out first - you may just find it’s a much smarter move.
