Haddon Road, Haddon, Peterborough, PE7

This distinguished country house is approached via a gated driveway and enjoys commanding views across its formal gardens and surrounding grounds. Dating from the 1700s, with significant Victorian additions and alterations, the property combines elegant period proportions with the comforts of modern family living. Beautifully presented throughout, the house retains a wealth of character features including deep skirtings, panelled doors and impressive fireplaces, while sympathetic recent improvements have enhanced both comfort and versatility, including potential to reinstate the former annexe accommodation.

The front door opens into a welcoming reception hall, from which two beautifully proportioned principal reception rooms extend to either side. The drawing room is particularly elegant, centred around a handsome fireplace and enjoying delightful views across the gardens. Opposite lies the sitting room, complete with a wood-burning stove, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

The formal dining room features fitted bookshelves and a striking period fireplace, ideal for entertaining, while the family room sits beyond, offering further flexible living space.

At the heart of the home is the impressive kitchen and breakfast room, designed as a superb family hub with ample space for cooking, dining and relaxation. Sleek, high-quality cabinetry with quartz work surfaces provides extensive storage and incorporates integrated appliances, while the Aga with companion oven forms a traditional focal point. The dining area enjoys attractive views through the bay window towards the gardens and adjoining fields beyond.

Supporting the kitchen are a range of practical ancillary spaces including generous storerooms, a scullery, utility room, boot room and cloakrooms, with convenient access directly from both the courtyard and driveway.

A staircase rises from the hall to the first-floor landing, where a beautiful outlook extends down the drive. Elegant double bedrooms are arranged on either side. Two further bedrooms are situated on the lower landing, one currently fitted as a dressing room, while the other adjoins a Jack and Jill washroom/WC with scope to incorporate a bath or shower. The principal bathroom is beautifully appointed with twin wash basins, WC and a roll-top bath positioned to take full advantage of the far-reaching rural views.

Two additional double bedrooms enjoy attractive westerly views across open countryside, one of which benefits from a stylish en suite shower room.

Stairs continue to the second floor, providing an ideal space for older children or guests. A substantial bedroom enjoys far-reaching southerly views, complemented by a large bathroom and two additional attic rooms, suitable for use as bedrooms, playrooms or hobby spaces.

Electric gates open onto the sweeping driveway, which passes between expansive lawns before arriving at the circular parking and turning area to the front of the house. Formal gardens extend predominantly to the south and west, laid mainly to lawn with mature, well-stocked shrub borders, while a pathway leads to the hard tennis court.

To the west of the house lies an attractive sheltered courtyard providing rear access to the property, alongside the adjoining stable block. The extensive brick-built barn incorporates garaging at one end and offers significant further potential. Planning permission was previously granted in 1990 for conversion into two separate dwellings, although this was never implemented.

The grounds extend to approximately 4.60 acres in total and include a fenced paddock.
