Location

Werrington is an historic village in its own right which over time has been enveloped by the cathedral city of Peterborough, within which it is now a northern suburb. However, the village retains its character and an older core of stone period houses, close to the village's green.

Werrington has several pubs and restaurants, together with a post office. Nearby Werrington centre provides a supermarket and a separate retail centre.

Werrington is a lively village community with popular annual events such as Christmas Carols on the green and a summer fete and festival.

Peterborough's city centre, Queensgate Shopping Centre and mainline train station (London Kings Cross in around 50 minutes) are all only four miles from the house by bicycle along the purpose-built National Cycle Route 51. Abundant recreational opportunities abound nearby, including a cinema, bowling and sports centres and clubs within the city, as well as the Ferry Meadows Country Park, Sacrewell Farm and Rutland Water, with its land- and water-based activities in the wider area outside the city.

There is a well-respected primary school in Old Werrington, with other primary schools and a secondary school in New Werrington. The Peterborough School on Thorpe Road and The King's School on Park Road are both well respected public secondary schools. Stamford Endowed School is just over 11 miles.
