This two-bedroom semi-detached home in West Town offers a straightforward, low-maintenance entry to Peterborough living. At about 646 sq ft, the layout is practical: entrance hall with cloakroom, ground-floor lounge, kitchen/diner, two double bedrooms and a family bathroom on the first floor. The property is freehold and offered chain free, making it suitable for a quick move or buy-to-let purchase.
Practical value drivers include a driveway for off-street parking, a medium-to-large fenced rear garden, gas central heating with a modern boiler, and an EPC rating of C. The location is particularly convenient for commuters — the train station and city centre are within walking distance, and broadband and mobile signals are strong.
Buyers should note the modest overall floor area and relatively small plot when comparing nearby homes; internal living space is typical for a two-bedroom property. Crime levels in the local area are reported as very high, which may affect insurance costs and resale considerations. Local schooling options vary from Good to Outstanding, and the neighbourhood benefits from a wide range of amenities and public transport links.
Overall, this property suits a first-time buyer wanting a ready-to-move-in home close to transport links, or an investor seeking a straightforward two-bedroom rental in a well-connected part of Peterborough. Viewings are recommended to assess internal space and the immediate neighbourhood.
