4 bed detached house for sale

Oundle Road, Orton Longueville PE2

Set back from the road behind a generous frontage and mature trees, this handsome detached home occupies a plot of approximately 0.22 acres and offers just under 1,800 sqft of accommodation in one of Peterborough's most established and sought-after locations.

Believed to date back to the 1950s, the property retains much of the character that makes homes of this era so desirable. From the curved bay windows and original parquet flooring to the generous room proportions and mature gardens, there is a real sense of space both inside and out.

The kitchen sits at the heart of the home and has been fitted with a range of contemporary units, solid work surfaces and a central island providing additional preparation space and casual seating. Underfloor heating adds comfort underfoot, while the adjoining dining area creates a natural spot for everyday meals. A separate utility room keeps laundry and household essentials tucked away from the main living areas. A WC completes the accommodation on the ground floor.

Upstairs, four bedrooms are arranged around a central landing. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, enjoying generous proportions and direct access onto a private balcony overlooking the rear garden. It is a lovely place to sit with a morning coffee and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The remaining bedrooms offer flexibility for growing families, guests or those working from home, while the family bathroom serves all four bedrooms.

Outside is where this home truly comes into its own. The back garden has clearly been nurtured over many years and now provides a beautiful, established setting with lawns, mature planting, colourful borders and a variety of seating areas. Fruit trees are dotted throughout the garden, adding both character and practicality, while the combination of mature trees and established boundaries creates an excellent degree of privacy. A pergola-covered terrace and hot tub area provide the perfect setting for entertaining or simply unwinding at the end of the day. There is also a brick built workshop too, which the current owners use as an art room, but this can be used for a variety of purposes.

To the front, a substantial gravel driveway provides parking for multiple vehicles and leads to the integral garage.

The location is equally appealing. Oundle Road remains one of Peterborough's most desirable addresses, offering easy access to the city centre, train station, Ferry Meadows Country Park and the A1 motorway, making it ideal for commuters whilst still enjoying access to green open spaces nearby. The property is also situated close to both primary and secondary schools (walking distance).
