A compact one-bedroom Victorian terraced cottage in the popular village of Thorney, offered freehold and with private off-street parking. The house blends period charm—lead windows and a mid-20th-century fireplace—with practical updates such as a refitted shower room and a conservatory that opens onto an enclosed rear garden. At about 599 sq ft it suits a single buyer or couple seeking a manageable home close to Peterborough (approx. 15 minutes by car).
The layout is straightforward: a living room with character features, a small traditional kitchen (in need of modernisation for buyers seeking an open plan or contemporary finish), conservatory and downstairs shower room. Upstairs is a generous master bedroom with built-in storage. The property benefits from mains gas central heating (boiler and radiators) and very low council tax, keeping running costs modest.
Externally there’s a small front garden, enclosed rear lawn with gravelled area, a separate garden room useful as a home office or studio, and private parking accessed via a shared driveway. Constructed before 1900 with cavity walls assumed to have no insulation, the house may benefit from energy-efficiency improvements such as wall insulation or secondary glazing to reduce bills and improve comfort.
This home will appeal to first-time buyers or downsizers who prioritise village life, character and commuter convenience over instant turnkey condition. It’s a sound purchase for someone happy to modernise the kitchen and make modest energy upgrades while enjoying a low-cost, compact home in a well-connected location.
