Wimblington Road, March, PE15 9QN

Property Ref: LR0644

Set back from the road behind a sweeping shingle driveway with parking for numerous vehicles, this delightful two-bedroom cottage offers a rare combination of character, privacy and genuine scope to extend, all within easy reach of March town centre and the railway station.

Approached via a generous, recently landscaped driveway bordered by timber fencing and secured by a newly fitted entrance gate, the property enjoys a wonderfully tucked-away, private feel that belies its convenient location — March station and the town's shops, cafes and amenities are just a short walk away, making this an ideal choice for commuters and families alike.

Step inside and the cottage's charm is immediately apparent. The dual-aspect living space is anchored by a striking exposed wooden beam mantel and a cosy wood-burning stove, complemented by parquet-style herringbone flooring, vintage-inspired wall lighting and neutral décor throughout — creating a warm, inviting atmosphere that feels both characterful and current.

A second, more contemporary sitting room offers flexible living space, with a sleek inset fireplace and garden views . 

The kitchen has been thoughtfully fitted with solid wood worktops, shaker-style cabinetry, a striking black range cooker and extractor, and a stable-style door leading out to the garden — striking the perfect balance between rustic charm and modern functionality. A newly added skylights floods the space with natural light, while a separate utility-style galley area with a full-height fridge freezer connects seamlessly through to the open dining space, where a beautiful oak dining table sits beneath a staircase with a polished brass handrail.

Upstairs, two well-proportioned double bedrooms (14'9 x 11'2 and 12'1 x 11'2) offer comfortable, light-filled accommodation, while the ground floor bathroom has been finished to a high standard with a crittall-style glazed shower screen, rainfall shower head, contemporary black towel radiator and elegant floor-to-ceiling tiling.

Beyond its natural charm, this cottage has been extensively and sympathetically upgraded by the current owners, offering peace of mind alongside its period character. Recent improvements (all done in 2024) include:

New windows throughout 
New boiler and radiators 
All walls fully re-skimmed, providing beautifully smooth, ready-to-decorate finishes
New skylight added to the kitchen, enhancing natural light
Landscaped driveway with a newly fitted entrance gate for added privacy and security
Tree surgery carried out to increase natural light throughout the home and garden
The result is a home that pairs genuine cottage character with the reassurance of modern, well-maintained infrastructure — a rare combination for a property of this style and era.

What truly sets this property apart is its plot — a substantial, elongated garden bordered by mature hedging and trees, recently thinned through professional tree surgery to maximise natural light, offering excellent privacy and a real sense of seclusion. With a garage, ample driveway parking and significant garden depth extending well beyond the current footprint of the house, this is a property that presents outstanding scope to extend, reconfigure or reimagine (subject to the usual planning consents) — an increasingly rare find in this sought-after part of March.

The Location
Tucked away yet beautifully connected, this home sits within easy walking distance of March's mainline railway station, offering direct services for commuters, as well as the town's array of independent shops, cafes and everyday amenities. It's a location that offers the best of both worlds: a peaceful, private setting with everyday convenience right on the doorstep.

A rare opportunity to acquire a characterful home with a driveway, garage and garden of genuinely useful size — early viewing is highly recommended.
