Summary - FLINTS HOUSE, ELDERNELL LANE, PETERBOROUGH, COATES, WHITTLESEY PE7 2DD
4 bed 2 bath Character Property
Spacious listed cottage with huge gardens, character interiors and conversion potential.
Grade II listed thatched cottage with extensive period features
Flints House is a striking Grade II listed thatched cottage offering nearly 3,900 sqft across three floors. The house combines original period features — exposed brickwork, beams and the cottage’s original fireplace and baking oven — with upgraded reception rooms and a large farmhouse-style kitchen. Set in a very large plot with rural views, the property feels secluded yet is about a 25-minute drive to Peterborough city centre.
The layout provides generous, light-filled living spaces and four bedrooms, with an approximate ten-room count allowing scope for flexible use. There is clear potential to convert additional rooms into an annexe or guest living area, subject to planning and listed-building consent (STP). Broadband speeds are reported as fast, supporting modern working needs despite the hamlet location.
Buyers should note material constraints: the property’s listed status will restrict alterations and may complicate conversions or repairs. The home sits in a medium flood-risk area and council tax is described as quite expensive. The immediate locality is rural and relatively isolated, and the wider area shows indicators of deprivation — factors to consider for accessibility, services and resale.
Overall this is a rare, substantial thatched property for someone seeking pronounced character, space and countryside privacy. It will suit a buyer prepared to manage listed-building responsibilities and any sympathetic renovations to unlock the property’s full potential.
