Church Street, Whittlesey, Peterborough, Cambridgeshire

Just Like A Traditional Family Farmhouse. Except it’s in the centre of town rather than the middle of nowhere. A spacious family home that’s warm and welcoming, with a fabulous dressing room, a suntrap low maintenance garden and a versatile summerhouse.

If you’ve ever wanted the space and charm of a country farmhouse without giving up your town centre convenience, this could be the perfect family home.

Located in a sought-after Church Street spot, this imposing detached home gives you four flexible bedrooms, three reception rooms and all the character you’d expect from a proper period property.

The 26ft kitchen diner is the heart of the home - whether you’re cooking for a crowd or grabbing a quick morning coffee. There’s a range-style cooker, cream shaker fitted units and timber beams that give the room a proper farmhouse feel.

You’ll also find a lounge with more exposed beams and an inglenook fireplace and a snug - ideal if you want somewhere for the kids to play or just a quiet spot to escape with a book.

Upstairs, the layout is just as versatile. There are four generous bedrooms, including a master with its own stylish dressing room.

The four piece family bathroom has a spa bath, double shower and a relaxed feel that fits the house perfectly.

And outside, there’s a lovely west-facing garden ready-made for lazy afternoons in the sun. It’s low maintenance, mostly block paved patio, with a choice of seating areas and two powered timber sheds.

Need space to work from home? The wooden outbuilding / summerhouse is already set up as an office - so there’s no need to sacrifice a bedroom. Or you could have fun with it and turn it into a games room or garden bar.

There’s plenty of off-street parking and solar panels (that are owned rather than leased) and currently return around £1,500 a year through the Feed In Tariff.

If you have younger children, Park Lane Primary & Nursery School is a pleasant 6 minute walk away.

Sir Harry Smith Community College (rated “Good” by Ofsted) is a little further away, on the other side of town.

This superb family home is just a 10 minute walk from Whittlesey town centre (or five minutes in the car). Here you’ll find a range of local shops & restaurants, a leisure centre and library.

Whittlesey is a lovely, quiet market town but it’s also well connected. Peterborough is just over 20 minutes drive away or 10 minutes on the train from Whittlesea station.

This could be the ideal base if you need to get into London. You can jump on an East Coast Mainline train at Peterborough and be stepping onto the Kings Cross platform in around an hour.

This large, versatile detached property will be perfect if you’re looking for a warm and welcoming family home that feels more like a traditional rural farmhouse than something in the middle of town. And best of all, no mud-spattered, battered old Land Rover is required to reach it!

I’m expecting plenty of interest so call to arrange a viewing.
