Summary - 223 STAR ROAD PETERBOROUGH PE1 5ET
2 bed 1 bath Detached Bungalow
Urban renovation project with parking and strong redevelopment potential near the city centre.
- Detached two-bedroom bungalow on a generous plot with garage
- Private driveway providing off-street parking
- Requires full cosmetic renovation and electrical/heating checks
- Solid brick walls likely uninsulated — insulation work needed
- Low ceilings and small rooms limit sense of space
- EPC rating E — scope for energy improvements
- Sold via modern auction; reservation fee and buyer pack apply
- Area recorded as very deprived with higher local crime rates
Set on a sizeable plot just a short walk from Peterborough city centre, this detached two-bedroom bungalow offers clear scope for renovation and value uplift. The single-storey layout is straightforward and practical, with a lounge, kitchen, conservatory, two double bedrooms and a bathroom. A private driveway and single garage add useful off-street parking and storage.
The property requires comprehensive refurbishment: cosmetic updating, likely electrical and heating checks, and insulating the solid brick walls. Low ceilings and compact room proportions mean the interior will suit buyers prepared to reconfigure or modernise to maximise space and rental or resale returns. EPC rating E reflects current energy performance and improvement potential.
Being sold by modern auction, purchasers should factor in auction T&Cs, the buyer’s reservation fee and the buyer information pack cost before bidding. There is no forward chain and the freehold tenure is straightforward, which may speed completion for a cash buyer or a prepared investor.
This home is best for investors or renovators seeking a city-centre project with parking and development potential (subject to planning). The surrounding area is very deprived with higher local crime rates, so buyers should weigh location risks alongside the property’s refurbishment upside and proximity to transport and amenities.
