About this home

SUMMARY Nestled along the prestigious Thorpe Road in the highly sought-after Longthorpe area of Peterborough, this exquisite detached cottage effortlessly combines timeless character with modern family living.

DESCRIPTION Set within attractive grounds and enjoying a private position, the property offers a rare opportunity to acquire a home of exceptional charm in one of the city's most desirable residential locations. Thorpe Road is widely regarded as one of Peterborough's premier addresses, known for its blend of historic cottages, period homes and mature surroundings.

Beautifully presented throughout, the cottage showcases an abundance of original features, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere while providing flexible accommodation suited to contemporary lifestyles.

From the impressive reception hall with its bold, hand carved, sweeping staircase that offers access to both the ground and first floor. The feature room and heart of the house is the large palatial sized extended kitchen/dining and Family room, offering an abundance of light, creating a very welcoming and cozy room. It leads into and offers excellent views of the rear gardens, that in turn offer a very high degree of privacy themselves. There is a further formal reception room to the front of the property that offers a quieter area, away from the hustle and bustle of the main family room.

The first floor boasts five bedrooms, 3 very large sized bedrooms and 2 decent sized bedrooms, which would also be ideal for a home office, making it perfect for a large or growing family, along with a high standard family bathroom.

Outside, the property benefits from established gardens that provide a peaceful retreat for relaxation and entertaining alike. Ample parking and attractive outdoor space further enhance the appeal of this unique home. In addition there is the added advantage of a double garage for additional parking and further storage.

Combining period charm, privacy and an enviable location, this exceptional detached cottage represents a rare opportunity to enjoy countryside character with excellent access to local amenities, schools and transport links.
