Set on a generous plot overlooking the village green, this Grade II listed five-bedroom detached cottage blends pronounced Victorian character with practical family living. Converted historically from two cottages, it offers three reception rooms, a large kitchen/family room and well-proportioned bedrooms arranged over two storeys — a comfortable layout for family life and home working.
The house is well maintained and presents many original features: exposed brickwork, tall chimneys, gabled rooflines and decorative glazing. The large, mature rear garden and ample off-street parking provide private outdoor space and storage for multiple vehicles. Local primary and secondary schools are within easy walking distance, and Ferry Meadows and Peterborough city centre are a short drive away, with good rail and road connections.
Buyers should be aware this is a Grade II listed building. Any alterations or extensions will be subject to listed-building consent and may limit refurbishment options and add specialist costs. The area shows higher crime levels and broader indicators of deprivation, and council tax is described as quite expensive — factors to consider for family budgeting and insurance.
For a family seeking a characterful, centrally positioned village home with scope to personalise within listed constraints, this property offers a rare combination of scale, period detail and a quiet village setting. A professional survey is recommended to confirm services and condition before purchase.
