A modern, spacious & beautifully appointed detached home with double garage and studio annex above, and private gardens in a leafy central city setting.
Occupying a private position within an exclusive collection of individually designed homes, this exceptional detached family residence is approached via a private road yet lies within easy walking distance of Peterborough city centre, the mainline railway station and the city's attractive riverside parkland. Combining traditional craftsmanship with a contemporary specification, the property has been beautifully maintained to create a spacious and versatile home ideally suited to modern family living.
A spacious reception hall provides an impressive introduction, where high ceilings, double glazed internal doors and a beautifully crafted oak staircase establish the elegant character that continues throughout the home. The well-balanced accommodation has been carefully designed to maximise both natural light and practicality, creating a wonderful sense of space in every room.
The triple-aspect sitting room is a particularly inviting reception space, centred around a contemporary gas-fired feature fireplace and enjoying a striking bay window to the front together with French doors opening directly onto the rear terrace, seamlessly connecting the interior with the gardens beyond. A separate study, currently arranged as a snug, provides valuable flexibility and could equally serve as a home office, playroom, or additional reception room to suit individual requirements.
The heart of the home is the superb open-plan kitchen, dining, and family room. Bathed in natural light from its triple-aspect glazing and full-width bi-fold doors, this outstanding space has been designed for both everyday family life and entertaining. The bespoke kitchen features quartz work surfaces, an extensive range of cabinetry, integrated Siemens and Neff appliances, and a substantial central island providing informal seating. An adjoining utility room offers additional storage, laundry space, and direct garden access, whilst a cloakroom completes the ground floor.
The first floor is centred around a generous landing with useful airing and linen cupboards, leading to five well-proportioned double bedrooms. The principal suite enjoys a walk-in dressing area with bespoke fitted storage and a luxurious en suite bathroom with both a bath and separate walk-in shower. A second bedroom also benefits from a dressing area and en suite shower room, while the remaining three double bedrooms are served by an elegant family bathroom.
Finished to an excellent specification throughout, all bath and shower rooms feature Porcelanosa tiling, Villeroy & Boch sanitaryware, underfloor heating and heated towel rails, with underfloor heating extending across the entire ground floor. The loft also offers excellent potential for conversion, subject to the necessary consents, with a number of neighbouring properties having undertaken similar works.
Outside, the property is equally impressive. A block-paved driveway provides parking for two vehicles and leads to an oversized detached double garage with electric doors. Above the garage is a highly versatile studio suite, currently arranged as a home gym and benefiting from a cloakroom and useful storage. This adaptable space would lend itself equally well to a home office, consulting room, creative studio, guest accommodation, or independent annexe, depending on individual requirements.
The rear garden provides an attractive and private setting, ideally designed for both family enjoyment and entertaining. A generous paved terrace adjoins the principal reception spaces, creating a seamless extension of the living accommodation during the warmer months, whilst the predominantly lawned garden is complemented by mature trees and well-stocked flower beds, providing colour, privacy, and year-round interest.
Combining generous proportions, high-quality finishes, and an exceptionally convenient location, this is a beautifully presented family home offering versatile accommodation, excellent schooling and transport links, and easy access to Peterborough's surrounding green spaces.
