Main Street, Upper Benefield, Peterborough, Northamptonshire, PE8

Recently renovated and significantly enhanced by the current owners, Mayberry House is an exceptional detached family residence occupying a delightful position within the highly regarded village of Upper Benefield. The house enjoys far-reaching views over the surrounding countryside and has been thoughtfully designed to combine elegant family living with highly versatile accommodation extending over three floors. High quality materials and bespoke finishes have been employed throughout, creating a home of considerable style and comfort.

The accommodation is arranged around a welcoming reception hall with staircase rising to a galleried first-floor landing. From here, access is provided to the principal reception rooms, all of which benefit from zoned underfloor heating. The living room is a particularly inviting space, designed for quieter evenings and family relaxation, whilst the formal dining room, currently utilised as a home office, offers flexibility for a variety of uses and incorporates bespoke fitted storage.

Undoubtedly the heart of the home is the magnificent open-plan kitchen, a superb space designed for modern family life and entertaining alike. Expertly fitted by Kuchen Kraft, the kitchen incorporates an extensive range of contemporary cabinetry with integrated SIEMENS appliances, including three ovens, coffee machine, dishwasher, full-height fridge and freezer, hob and extractor. A substantial central island provides additional preparation space, integrated storage and informal seating. Beyond, there is ample room for both dining and relaxed seating, with three sets of patio doors framing views across the garden and neighbouring countryside, whilst also allowing natural light to flood the interior.

The adjoining utility room is fitted to an equally impressive standard and provides further storage, secondary sink facilities and integrated appliances. A guest cloakroom is set beyond, together with internal access to the double garage and a useful side entrance. A discreet staircase rises from the utility area to a highly versatile room currently arranged as a study and home cinema, with skylight windows creating a bright yet private environment, ideal as a games room, office or studio.

The first-floor landing is particularly striking, with floor-to-ceiling glazing overlooking the driveway and front gardens. Four of the six bedrooms are situated on this floor, all of generous proportions. The principal suite is especially impressive, comprising a substantial bedroom, twin walk-in dressing areas and a luxurious en suite bathroom with freestanding bath, walk-in shower and twin vanity units. Bedroom four also benefits from its own en suite facilities, whilst bedrooms three and five share a stylish Jack and Jill bathroom arrangement.

The second floor provides further highly flexible accommodation, including an impressive guest suite with beautifully appointed en suite bathroom. An additional bedroom, currently utilised as a gym, could equally serve as a studio, playroom or further office space depending on requirements.

Externally, Mayberry House is approached via a substantial stone driveway providing ample parking and access to the double garage, which benefits from power and lighting. The house sits comfortably within its plot and enjoys a peaceful backdrop with open countryside extending beyond the rear boundary.

The landscaped gardens have been carefully designed to provide an attractive balance of paved terraces and manicured lawns, creating ideal spaces for outdoor dining, entertaining and family enjoyment. The terrace spans the rear elevation and can be accessed directly from the principal reception areas, further enhancing the connection between the house and gardens. Gated access to both sides of the property allows ease of movement around the grounds.

Scenic walking routes extend throughout the surrounding countryside, making the area particularly appealing to those who enjoy outdoor pursuits.
