Summary - 8 GROVELANDS, THORPE ROAD, PETERBOROUGH PE3 6AQ
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Practical, convenient flat with garage and short walk to station.
Chain free first‑floor flat, two bedrooms, bright lounge‑diner
Set on the first floor of a tidy post‑war terrace block, this two‑bed apartment offers a practical city‑centre base within easy walking distance of Peterborough station and local amenities. The layout delivers a bright lounge‑diner, a separate kitchen and two usable bedrooms — a straightforward home that suits first‑time buyers or buyers looking to downsize.
The property includes a detached single garage and communal low‑maintenance garden, adding valuable private parking and outside space rarely found with city flats. The apartment benefits from double glazing and an EPC rating of C, helping with running costs compared with older stock in the area.
Buyers should note the home is leasehold (149 years remaining) with an annual service charge of approximately £1,260 and a small ground rent of £42. Heating is provided by electric storage heaters, which may suit households without gas but can affect ongoing energy costs. The wider area has a high recorded crime rate; check local crime data and view at different times to assess suitability.
This is a straightforward, chain‑free purchase well suited to a first‑time buyer or investor seeking city‑centre proximity and rental potential. It is presented for those who prioritise location and convenience; cosmetic updates or system upgrades (heating/electrics) could add value over time.
