This substantial early-20th-century detached house on Dogsthorpe Road offers three double bedrooms and three reception rooms across an airy, period layout. High ceilings, bay windows and original cornicing create a strong sense of character and generous room proportions suited to family living. A large private garden and driveway provide outdoor space and off-street parking in a central location close to the city centre — viewings are available at the open house on Friday 26 September 2025, 3:00–4:00pm.
The house is solid-brick construction from c.1900–1929 with double glazing installed before 2002 and gas central heating to radiators. There is one family bathroom and a useful pantry; a detached garage (approx. 16' x 8'3") adds storage or workshop space. The plot is a real asset for those who want garden room, play space or scope to extend (subject to planning).
Buyers should note the local context: the property sits in an inner-city, ethnically mixed area with faster broadband but a high local crime rate and high area deprivation. The building’s solid brick walls are likely uninsulated and the older glazing means energy performance may be below modern standards — further insulation or upgrading could be needed and will improve comfort and running costs.
This home suits families seeking space, character and a central Peterborough address with good school options nearby. It will also appeal to buyers prepared to invest in targeted improvements (insulation, glazing, cosmetic updating) to enhance energy efficiency and resale value. The property is freehold with affordable council tax; prospective purchasers are advised to arrange a survey to check services and condition before committing.
