Woodcroft Road, Marholm, Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, PE6

A beautifully presented and thoughtfully extended bungalow, occupying an elevated edge of village position with exceptional rural views

Description

Occupying a wonderful edge of village position with far reaching views across open countryside, 3 Woodcroft is a delightful and light filled double fronted bungalow that has been thoughtfully extended by the current owners. Elevated and beautifully positioned, the property enjoys views over surrounding fields from both the front and rear, offering a rare balance of privacy and outlook.

Set back behind a generous lawned frontage, the property is approached via a block paved driveway providing ample parking, part of which is gated. The gardens and setting immediately convey a sense of space and calm.

Internally, the home is both flexible and versatile, with impressively high ceilings and immaculately maintained accommodation is decorated with a neutral palette that creates a calm and cohesive scheme throughout.

A welcoming central hallway provides access to all principal rooms and benefits from a useful cloak storage cupboard and leads through to the rear of the property where the main living spaces lie, perfectly positioned to take full advantage of the elevated views across the garden and paddock beyond. The generous double aspect sitting room features a contemporary gas fireplace as its focal point, with French doors opening directly onto the garden. Sliding doors lead through to the triple aspect garden room, a beautifully light space, and an ideal vantage point from which to enjoy the garden in all seasons. Further sliding doors open onto a raised decked terrace, creating a seamless connection between inside and out and offering an ideal setting for entertaining.

The breakfast kitchen is equally light filled, with double aspect windows and a door leading to a small porch and out to the garden. Well appointed, it features granite worktops, a double sink positioned to enjoy garden views, and a comprehensive range of integrated appliances including a double oven, gas hob, fridge freezer, and space for a dishwasher. An original fireplace provides a charming feature and would make a perfect spot for a dog bed if desired. Additional cloak storage is also located here.

Opposite the kitchen is bedroom three, currently used by the owners as a separate dining room. This highly flexible room would equally suit use as a playroom or additional bedroom and is conveniently located close to the family bathroom. The bathroom is well proportioned, offering both a large shower and a separate bath, with an airing cupboard providing further practical storage.

The adjoining office offers a peaceful space for working from home or hobbies yet could easily be repurposed as a further bedroom if required, demonstrating the adaptability of the layout.

The principal bedroom is light and airy, featuring a large bay window, fitted wardrobes and a well appointed en suite shower room with vanity storage. Bedroom two mirrors the proportions of the principal bedroom, also enjoying a matching bay window and ample space for wardrobes.

A tandem garage provides excellent additional space, suitable for vehicles, a workshop area and utility use.

Outside, the gardens have been thoughtfully designed to complement the property’s setting. The front garden is predominantly laid to lawn, bordered by stone edging, mature hedging, shrubs, and trees. To the rear, a block paved patio and expansive decked area provide ideal spaces for al fresco dining and entertaining. Gentle steps lead down to the lawn, interwoven with gravel pathways and well planted borders. Carefully positioned trees and shrubs frame views into the paddock beyond while maintaining privacy. At the far end of the garden, a natural pond surrounded by sumptuous planting creates a tranquil focal point and a haven for visiting wildlife.

With its elevated village edge position, high ceilings, adaptable accommodation, and potential for further extension (subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents), 3 Woodcroft offers a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully presented home in a sought after rural setting.
