Chain-free 3-bed with large garden and driveway — ideal for first-time buyers or small families..
Chain-free freehold three-bedroom semi-detached home
A chain-free, freehold three-bedroom semi with a large rear garden and off-street parking, set in an urban cultural mix of Peterborough PE1. The property offers two reception rooms, a kitchen/diner and a ground-floor WC, with three first-floor bedrooms and a wet room. At about 684 sq ft the house is compact but practical for a small family or first-time buyer seeking outside space and parking.
The plot is a genuine asset: a decent-sized front and substantial rear garden give room for children, pets or landscaping projects. Living spaces are sensible in proportion (lounge ~4.2m x 3.6m; kitchen/diner ~4.1m x 2.2m) and the driveway removes parking stress in a busy neighbourhood. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are strong, and several good and outstanding schools are nearby.
Expect some updating: the house dates from the mid-20th century and shows signs it would benefit from refurbishment to modernise finishes, heating and potentially wiring. The property has a single wet room on the first floor and a small ground-floor WC—adequate but basic. Buyers should note the local area records high crime levels and is in a very deprived ward, which may affect resale and insurance considerations.
This home suits buyers who prioritise outside space, parking and a central Peterborough location and who are prepared to invest in cosmetic and systems improvements. For a first-time buyer or investor looking for a reasonably priced, chain-free entry (£220,000) into PE1 with good connectivity and schools nearby, this property has clear potential.
