Coates Road, Whittlesey, Peterborough, Cambridgeshire

What Would You Do With A Garden That Just Keeps Going?

This one runs almost 40 metres, right up to open fields. And there's a double garage at the back with real potential as an annexe, granny flat or games room. A spacious family home, just a four minute walk from Coates village life.

This versatile family home gives you so much space without having to move somewhere rural and remote to find it. It’s less than a five minute walk to the pretty village green - with a choice of pubs, shops and a popular primary school.

Inside, the ground floor is built for family life to spread out. The living room stretches over 21ft, with patio doors at the rear opening to the back garden.

There’s space to sit and eat in the kitchen and a separate dining room too - handy when you want everyone round the table without the washing up on show.

There's a useful utility room too, with a w/c and access to the double garage which gives this property so much untapped potential.

There’s so much more scope than just secure parking for a couple of cars - subject to the usual planning permissions, it's got genuine potential to become an annexe for a parent, a proper games room, or a proper office or home business base where you can actually shut the door on work at the end of the day. What you do with it is up to you.

Upstairs, four bedrooms give everyone their own space, including a main bedroom with its own ensuite shower room. A family bathroom serves the rest of the floor.

Outside, the back garden runs to almost 40 metres (the length of two cricket pitches!), backing straight onto open fields, so there's nothing behind you but open skies.

There's a paved terrace by the house for the barbecue and the garden furniture, plus a further patio area beside the garage, giving you another spot to sit out and enjoy the garden.

Beyond the lawn, there is also a dedicated vegetable growing area with a fruit cage, greenhouse and established pear tree - ideal for anyone who enjoys growing their own fruit and vegetables.

The property is heated by storage heaters and is on an Economy 7 tariff, which provides cheaper electricity during off-peak overnight hours. The sellers have shown us their energy costs and have found the property economical to run using this system.

The sellers have also highlighted how solidly built the house is, something that can really be appreciated when you are inside, along with the generous proportions throughout.

The property also benefits from a security system.

You're not giving up village life to get all this space either. The centre of Coates is a four minute walk away, with two pubs, a Coop, post office and a primary school on your doorstep, plus a takeaway for the nights nobody feels like cooking.

For bigger shops, cafés and a leisure centre, Whittlesey town centre is a short drive or bus ride away.

Coates Primary School is rated “Good” by Ofsted and is an easy walk from the front door, while Sir Harry Smith Community College - another “Good” school - is a five minute drive or ten minute bike ride for older kids.

If you've been searching for a detached family home with room to grow into - inside and out - this is well worth putting at the top of your viewing list.
