A spacious and beautifully appointed six bedroom detached family home in a discreet central Peterborough location, accessed off Thorpe Road, with integral garages and separate garden office

Description

A fabulously appointed detached six bedroom house, constructed in 2001 and reconfigured and extended by the current owners in the past five years. This property combines a discreet central city setting, with spacious and beautifully finished accommodation, with a lovely flow, coupled with integral garaging and driveway parking for several vehicles and an enclosed garden, within which a detached timber lodge, with electricity, offers both office and gym accommodation.

A bright and inviting under-floor heated tile floored entrance stairwell hallway is flanked by an office and wood floored sitting room, originally two rooms, with fireplace and wood burning stove, from which bi-folding glass doors open into the family dining kitchen, creating the most marvelous, convivial and almost open plan ground floor layout.

The family dining kitchen is a statement room, with parquet wood flooring, with banks of bi-folding doors that open to the garden. The kitchen is fitted with a large central island with breakfast bar, inset sink with hot tap and gas hob beneath an extractor, integrated fridge and freezer, ovens, microwave, steaming oven and warming drawer. A well-appointed utility and cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.

The main staircase rises to a spacious landing, off which there are three double bedrooms, one with an en suite shower room and another with a jack & jill en suite bathroom, with a further two second floor double bedrooms (one en suite). There is a further fabulous bedroom with en suite shower room positioned above the double garage and accessed by a secondary staircase rising from the kitchen.

Outside
The garden is private and beautifully planted, offering good privacy, with a terrace adjoining the house, lawn and well stocked flowering and shrub borders. A detached timber lodge building, with electricity and light, is currently used as an office and gym.
