Coates Road, Whittlesey, Peterborough, Cambridgeshire

A Superb Family Home That Gets Better Every Time You Look. Eight years of upgrades has produced a show-stopping kitchen, an impressive master bedroom suite, a home office/salon with a separate entrance and panoramic field views from the hot tub. Just move in and enjoy it all.

When a family spends eight years living in a house and genuinely improving it, the result is something you can feel the moment you walk through the door. The quality here isn't cosmetic. It runs through every room.

The heart of it is the kitchen-diner, and it really does stop you in your tracks. Hand-painted cabinetry in navy and grey, solid oak worktops, a range cooker, a central island with a pop-up socket for the devices, pendant lighting, a wine fridge, and French doors that open directly onto the garden with open fields stretching out beyond.

The room runs to nearly 28ft - long enough to have the island in the middle and still have a proper dining table at one end without anyone feeling squeezed.

The living room is off the kitchen and is another large room that runs to over 22ft.

There's also a separate snug with an LED feature ceiling, which is sure to become one of the favourite rooms in the house once you've found it. A utility room and a downstairs WC round out the ground floor practicalities.

The office has its own separate entrance from the side of the house, its own fitted oak cabinetry and its own identity entirely. It’s been used as a beauty salon but is just as well suited to running any home based business, a studio or a serious work-from-home setup where you can see clients without needing them to come into the main house.

Upstairs, the main bedroom is a luxurious suite. It has a dressing room space off to one side, an ensuite bathroom, and the kind of scale that means all the bedroom furniture you own will fit with space to spare.

Three further bedrooms, all served by a family bathroom with a separate shower, making it a practical four-piece suite with a light grey fitted vanity unit that looks like it belongs in a boutique hotel.

Outside, a paved seating area runs along the back of the house, there's a pergola with LED lighting, and the hot tub (which stays, subject to separate negotiation) sits to one side with those open field views.

To the front, a large gravelled driveway leads to a double garage with gated access and CCTV covering the whole plot.
The location is great too. It’s just 5 minutes in the car (or just over half an hour's walk) to the picture postcard Whittlesey Market Place.

The town has plenty of shops, cafes and pubs, along with a thriving local community. It has its own summer festival and the famous Straw Bear celebrations in January.

But you don’t have to go that far if you’re just after a loaf of bread. It's only a 2 minute drive from the village of Coates where there’s a Spar, a couple of local pubs and a Chinese takeaway. Head 2 minutes in the other direction towards Whittlesey and there’s an Aldi.

You can be out in the beautiful Cambridgeshire countryside in minutes but you’re also only 25 minutes in the car to Peterborough for all your big name stores and amenities.

You can jump on a train at Peterborough and be stepping onto the Kings Cross platform in around an hour.

Connecting trains from nearby Whittlesea station only take 10 minutes to Peterborough. This could be the ideal base if you need to commute into London for work or pleasure.

If you have younger children Coates Primary School is closest - only 2 minutes in the car or a 20 minute walk.

It’s not much further for older kids, with Sir Harry Smith Community College (rated Good by Ofsted) only 4 minutes away towards Whittlesey.

The house was built in the early 1990s and bought by the current owners in 2018 who have fully refurbished it to a superb standard.

If you've been looking for a family home where someone else has already done the hard work so you can just move in and make yourselves at home, this is the one worth rearranging your diary for.

We're expecting plenty of interest, so get in touch to arrange a viewing.
