Summary - 31 THORPE LEA ROAD PETERBOROUGH PE3 6BX
5 bed 5 bath Detached
Large Victorian detached plot with development potential minutes from the station, ideal for investors and developers..
Five-bedroom Victorian detached on large corner plot
A rare central Peterborough opportunity: this substantial Victorian detached house sits on a large corner plot just a five-minute walk from the train station and city centre. The property is offered freehold and chain-free, with immediate rental potential from a self-contained two-bedroom ground-floor flat alongside a three-bedroom main house across three floors.
The site has clear development upside. Previous outline planning applications for apartments have been submitted, and the generous plot plus ample off-street parking create scope for extension or redevelopment subject to planning (STPP). The building’s solid brick Victorian construction, high ceilings and large rooms provide strong character and flexibility for conversion schemes.
Important practical notes: the property needs renovation throughout and parts will require updating before reuse. Council tax is above average and the local recorded crime rate is very high. Services are conventional (mains gas boiler and radiators, double glazing of unknown age); walls are solid brick and likely lack cavity insulation. Planning history and further details are available on request for buyers assessing development potential.
