Set on a generous plot of just over a fifth of an acre in the village of Eye, this Grade II listed end-terraced cottage blends early-19th-century character with comfortable family living. Exposed beams, open brick fireplaces and sash windows give period charm, while a large kitchen/breakfast room and separate dining and lounge provide flexible space for everyday life and entertaining.
The plot is a major asset: a walled rear garden, additional lawn beyond a screening hedge and off-street parking give scope for gardening, outdoor living and potential extensions (subject to listed-building and planning consents). Practical updates are already present, including double glazing installed since 2002 and a modest council tax band B.
Buyers should note the property’s listed status and conservation-area location — alterations will require listed-building consent and can be restrictive and costly. Heating currently relies on electric room heaters and a gas-fired Aga in the kitchen; walls are solid brick with no assumed insulation, so energy and running costs may be higher than modern homes.
This home will suit buyers who value period character and outside space and who are prepared to manage listed-building responsibilities. It’s particularly appealing for families wanting village amenities and good access to Peterborough, or purchasers seeking refurbishment potential on a substantial plot.
