Summary - FLINTS HOUSE, ELDERNELL LANE, PETERBOROUGH, COATES, WHITTLESEY PE7 2DD
4 bed 2 bath Character Property
Substantial listed thatched cottage with large plot and conversion potential (STP)..
Grade II listed thatched cottage with abundant original character
Flints House is a substantial Grade II listed thatched cottage set in a large rural plot on Eldernell Lane, about a 25-minute drive to Peterborough. The property combines original period features — thatch roof, exposed brickwork, farmhouse fireplace and baking oven — with generous modern living space across three floors and roughly 3,896 sq ft. Fast broadband and multiple large reception rooms suit remote working and family life.
The house offers clear renovation and conversion potential, with scope to create a self-contained annexe or guest wing subject to planning (STP). The extensive garden and countryside views provide privacy and space for outdoor living, while the substantial internal room count (approx. 10 rooms) makes this rare in the local market.
Buyers should be aware this is a listed building, which will restrict alterations and may complicate maintenance. There is a medium flood risk to consider and council tax is described as quite expensive. The wider area shows signs of deprivation despite being within established farming communities, and the property’s isolated hamlet setting means services are limited locally.
Overall, Flints House will suit buyers seeking a character-filled country home with scope to personalise and adapt; it rewards care and investment but brings listed-status responsibilities and some location-based trade-offs.
