3 bed detached house for sale

Peterborough Road, Whittlesey PE7

Over 200ft rear garden! | three double bedrooms | detached garage | no onward chain

If you’ve been searching for a home with a seriously big garden, stop scrolling – this could be the one!

Sitting on Peterborough Road in Whittlesey, this three-bedroom home has plenty going for it inside, but there is one feature that absolutely steals the show – an incredible rear garden extending to over 200ft in length!

That is a lot of garden.

Whether you’re a keen gardener, have children who would love the space, need room for pets, dream of creating different seating and entertaining areas, or simply want the sort of outside space that is becoming increasingly difficult to find, this property offers an exciting opportunity.

And with three double bedrooms, two reception rooms, a kitchen/diner, conservatory, utility room, plenty of parking, a detached garage and no onward chain, there is much more here than just a fantastic garden.

Step inside and the property has a welcoming feel, with some lovely character touches.

The lounge features attractive herringbone-effect flooring, a fireplace with fitted electric fire and display shelving within the chimney recess. Windows to both the front and side bring in plenty of natural light, while fitted shutters add a smart finishing touch.

Next door, the separate dining room is another characterful space, again with herringbone-effect flooring and fitted shutters. A fireplace with wood-burner-style electric fire provides the focal point, while a feature exposed-brick arch leading into the understairs recess gives the room a little extra personality.

From here you move through to the kitchen/diner, fitted with a range of units and work surfaces together with a built-in double oven, electric hob and cooker hood. There is space for a table and chairs, making this a practical everyday dining space, with windows to both the front and rear.

The ground-floor bathroom offers the convenience of both a bath and a separate shower cubicle with electric shower, along with a pedestal hand basin and adjoining separate WC.

There’s more useful space beyond the kitchen too.

The conservatory provides a versatile additional area that could be used for seating, pets, storage or simply as somewhere to kick off muddy shoes after enjoying that huge garden! This in turn leads into a useful utility room with a sink, plumbing for a washing machine, fitted wall cupboards, access to the boiler cupboard and a door directly into the garden.

Upstairs is another big plus – all three bedrooms are doubles

Bedroom one is positioned towards the rear and has a range of fitted wardrobes, while bedrooms two and three are both double rooms to the front. Bedroom two also benefits from a useful overstairs storage cupboard.

But let’s get back to that garden...

Because this is where the property really sets itself apart.

The rear garden stretches to over 200ft in length, providing a remarkable amount of outside space and a blank canvas for its next owner.

Yes, there is work that could be done. There are a couple of existing outbuildings that require some attention, and anyone looking for an immaculate, finished garden from day one may want to roll their sleeves up.

But that is also the opportunity.

With this much space, you can really put your own stamp on it. Create a fantastic family garden, vegetable plots, entertaining areas, space for hobbies, room for the dogs to run – or simply enjoy having a garden that seems to go on and on.

There is also a detached garage and further parking towards the rear.

To the front, the property has off-road parking for at least two vehicles, with a driveway running alongside the house and providing access through to the additional rear parking and garage. It should be noted that the side driveway is of limited width, so buyers are advised to check that their own vehicle can be accommodated.

A convenient whittlesey location

Peterborough Road offers a particularly handy position for buyers wanting access to both Whittlesey and Peterborough

Whittlesey itself is a popular and well-served market town with a good range of everyday amenities, including shops, supermarkets, schools, pubs, cafés and leisure facilities.

The town also has its own railway station, providing useful connections towards Peterborough and Ely, while Peterborough is readily accessible by road for a much wider choice of shopping, leisure and employment opportunities, together with mainline rail connections.

So, if your property search involves phrases like “big garden”, “three double bedrooms”, “garage”, “parking” and “no chain”, this one deserves to be on the viewing list.

The house offers plenty of space and potential, but ultimately it is that 200ft+ rear garden that makes this property something different.

No onward chain – viewing is highly recommended to appreciate just how much space is on offer.
