Summary - GLAPTHORN HOUSE GLAPTHORN PETERBOROUGH PE8 5BH
7 bed 5 bath Detached
Spacious family estate with annex, workshop and far-reaching countryside views.
About 3.40 acres: garden 0.75 acre plus 2.65-acre paddock
Sandyforth Lodge is a substantial, high-quality family home set on about 3.40 acres, positioned to maximise far-reaching rural views. Built in 2008 and extended in 2016, the house uses good materials and high-spec interior fittings; most rooms take advantage of the elevated aspect. Energy efficiency is strong, with a ground source heat pump, large solar PV array and high insulation, reflected in an EPC B rating and reduced running costs.
The accommodation is versatile and well laid out across three floors: multiple reception rooms including a living room with wood-burning stove, a granite-topped kitchen with adjoining family room, and a study/reading area on the first-floor landing. There are four principal bedroom suites in the main house, plus a cinema and gym on the second floor which could serve as additional bedrooms or offices. A two-bedroom annex above the garage offers independent living or could be integrated with the main house.
Outside, the property delivers generous family and hobby space: formal gardens and sandstone terraces wrap the house (about 0.75 acre) with an adjoining rectangular paddock (approx. 2.65 acres) beyond. A gated drive, large triple garage, separate brick-built workshop/machinery store and ample parking complete the picture — suitable for equestrian use, vehicles or garden/DIY projects.
Practical considerations: the house sits in a quiet village with fast broadband, low crime and easy access to Oundle and local schools, but council tax is very expensive. The property is offered chain-free, providing a straightforward purchase route. Prospective buyers should note that listed services and appliances have not been individually tested and internal layout changes (for example reconfiguring an ensuite) are possible but would require planning or building work where relevant.
