A spacious & charming detached property in a secluded setting, within mature gardens of over half an acre, in the historic village of Thorney, nine miles east of the city of Peterborough.

Description

This very handsome and substantial detached family home was built in 1935 and enjoys a favourable setting in the heart of this sought-after village. The property has lovely views over its own well-established gardens and the village’s historic conservation properties, with a wonderfully leafy feel in the surrounding area. Internally the house is traditionally appointed and offers fantastic scope for modernisation, with the chance for the new owner to stamp their personality on the interiors.

This detached family home offers a wealth of flexible and versatile living space over three floors, extending to about 3113 sq ft. The accommodation is spacious throughout, with good size rooms featuring high ceilings, some with character features like exposed beams and picture rails. The ground floor has two reception spaces: a 31ft dual aspect lounge with fireplace, and a stunning orangery-style conservatory on the rear which has lovely views over the garden. The kitchen and dining room are open plan, there is a separate study and additional rooms including a utility room, cloakroom and boot room.

Upstairs the principal bedroom has an en suite bathroom, while the five further bedrooms spread across the first and second floors share a family bathroom and separate W.C.

The property is set back from the road and is approached via a private, gated driveway which offers a wealth of parking. The impressive gardens are beautifully landscaped and include a variety of mature specimen trees, including gingko, tulip and walnut, and the lawns are bordered by a variety of herbaceous plants and flowerbeds. The gardens are fully enclosed and feel very secluded and private.

Location

The model village of Thorney is known for its Abbey, which is situated on the village green. The village is about 8 miles east of the cathedral city of Peterborough, with its commuter rail links to London every 20 minutes in under 50 mins (during peak periods) and Cambridge.

The village has a shop, chemist, public library, primary school and public house. Peterborough and Whittlesey (4.5 miles) offer more extensive facilities.

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on May 4, 2023

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
