Eastrea Road, Whittlesey, Peterborough, Cambridgeshire

Everyone Underestimates A Ground Floor Bedroom Until They Need One. It’s a game changer for visiting parents, teenagers keeping different hours or anyone who struggles with stairs. This spacious detached has four more bedrooms upstairs, a 18ft log burner lounge and a private south facing garden.

A ground floor bedroom with its own ensuite shower room changes how a house works in so many ways. Not a converted cupboard, not an afterthought - a proper bedroom that means guests actually feel like guests, teenagers get the independence they crave, and anyone who finds stairs difficult gets their dignity back.

The living room measures almost 19ft and has a log burner sitting in it that will make you genuinely reluctant to leave the sofa come November. It's a properly sociable family room - the kind that fits a corner sofa, a dining table and still has room to breathe.

There is also a separate dining room, with French doors opening straight out to the garden.

The kitchen diner is a well-fitted, practical space with white shaker-style units and room for a small table - perfect for coffee, cake and midweek meals.

The utility room sits just off it, which means the washing machine and laundry clutter stays out of sight.

There's also a study on the ground floor with plantation shutters on the window - that works as a home office without having to lose a bedroom.

Upstairs, the main bedroom is a spacious double with its own en-suite. The bedroom next door, currently used as a dressing room has full floor-to-ceiling oak-finish wardrobes and chest units - it's the sort of storage that makes getting dressed feel like a choice rather than a rummage.

Two further bedrooms complete the first floor and the family bathroom is tiled in warm stone-effect travertine with a full size bath.

The south-facing back garden gets the sun for most of the day. There's a large lawn, a paved patio right off the back of the house for morning coffee or evening drinks, mature fruit trees dotted around, and enough space for children to actually play rather than just exist in the garden.

The front has a large gravelled driveway that takes several cars comfortably, plus a garage.

This superb detached family home is just 15 minutes walk from 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 it’s only 20 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 reach Peterborough. This could be the ideal base if you need to commute into London for work or pleasure.

It's on the eastern outskirts of Whittlesey, meaning you can be out enjoying the beautiful Cambridgeshire countryside in only a few minutes.

If you're after a little more excitement you can head to the new Fenland Aquapark for thrills, spills and splashes - it's only half a mile away.

If you have younger children New Road Primary School is closest - it’s walkable in 10 minutes, so no school run traffic stress.

It’s not much further for older kids, with Sir Harry Smith Community College (rated “Good” by Ofsted) a similar distance.

A ground-floor ensuite, three more bedrooms upstairs, a log-burning living room, a south-facing garden and a fitted dressing room - this is a home that's got everything a busy family needs.
