A heavily extended four-bedroom semi-detached house on Granville Street, directly overlooking The King’s School grounds, offers generous family living across three floors. The layout includes two reception rooms, a luxurious open-plan kitchen/diner with skylights, utility and downstairs WC — useful for busy family routines and entertaining. The master suite occupies the top floor with an en-suite, while three further double bedrooms and two additional shower rooms accommodate larger households or guests.
The property sits on a decent plot with a large mature rear garden and separate storage building, and an integral tandem garage with off-street parking. Period features combine with modern fittings and an EPC rating of C, making the house relatively efficient for its age. Broadband and mobile coverage are excellent, and the location is convenient for central Peterborough amenities and a range of nearby schools, including an outstanding secondary.
Buyers should note the house was constructed before 1900 with solid-brick walls likely without cavity insulation; some upgrading or targeted insulation work may be beneficial. The wider area shows high crime and very high deprivation indices, and selective licensing may apply to rental buyers — check local requirements before purchase. Reduced headroom is recorded on the plan in some upstairs areas, which may affect storage and furniture placement.
Overall, this home suits a growing family seeking space and proximity to strong schooling and city-centre facilities, or an investor prepared to manage area licensing and any retrofit works. The layout, garden and garage give strong practical value; purchasers should budget for potential insulation, maintenance and security considerations given the local context.
