Victorian solid-brick build with period character
Small overall internal size (approx. 487 sq ft)

Set on a corner plot in central Peterborough, this Victorian three-bedroom end-of-terrace offers generous living space and practical outdoor parking. Two reception rooms and a sizable kitchen give families flexible layouts, while a private garden and driveway provide off-street convenience rarely found so close to the city centre. Local schools and amenities are within easy reach, making daily life straightforward.
The house dates from before 1900 with solid brick walls and original character features. It is double glazed (install date unknown) and heated by a mains gas boiler with radiators. The property is offered freehold with a very low council tax band — a running-cost benefit for buyers on tighter budgets.
Important to note: the home shows signs of neglect and will need modernization. Walls are likely uninsulated, and some repair work and updating are required to bring the property up to current standards. The surrounding area records relatively high crime levels, which may influence suitability for some buyers.
This is a straightforward buy for families seeking proximity to schools and the city, for first-time buyers wanting an affordable entry, or for investors and renovators looking for value and rental potential after refurbishment. A survey is recommended to assess structural and service conditions before purchase.
