You’ll definitely underestimate this one from the street. It looks like a classic family home – and it is – but there’s a lot more going on than meets the eye.
Hidden behind the traditional, front is a five-bedroom property with a self-contained one-bedroom annex, a huge private garden, and secure off-street parking.
And it’s already got full planning permission to split it into two separate dwellings.
That means this home works hard whichever way you live in it.
Keep it all together and enjoy the flexibility of an independent annexe for older teens, grandparents, or guests.
Or go all in – split it into two and explore Airbnb, rental options or resale potential.
The choice is yours, and the paperwork’s already been done.
Inside the main house, you’ll find a spacious lounge with exposed beams and a multi-fuel stove and a separate generous kitchen / diner
There are four bedrooms and the family bathroom upstairs.
The annex has its own entrance from the hall, with an open-plan kitchen / living area with separate bedroom and bathroom. Perfect for multi-generational living or future income.
The garden is another surprise. There’s a real sense of space, with plenty of room for kids to play, a BBQ spot, or even your dream veg patch.
And with a detached double garage and gated parking with space for several cars, there’s no shortage of storage space or security.
This superb detached family home is just 15 minutes walk from Whittlesey Market Place.
The town has plenty of shops, cafés and pubs, along with a thriving local community. It has its own summer festival and the famous Straw Bear celebrations in January.
But it’s only 20 minutes in the car to Peterborough for all your big name stores and amenities.
You can jump on a train at Peterborough and be stepping onto the Kings Cross platform in around an hour. Connecting trains from nearby Whittlesea station only take 10 minutes to Peterborough. This could be the ideal base if you need to commute into London for work or pleasure.
It's on the eastern outskirts of Whittlesey, meaning you can be out enjoying the beautiful Cambridgeshire countryside in only a few minutes.
If you're after a little more excitement you can head to the new Fenland Aquapark for thrills, spills and splashes - it's only half a mile away.
If you have younger children New Road Primary School is closest - it’s walkable in 10 minutes, so no school run traffic stress.
It’s not much further for older kids, with Sir Harry Smith Community College (rated Good by Ofsted) a similar distance.
You’re getting a lot of property for your money. But more than that you’re getting massive potential. If you’re looking for flexibility, future potential, and a home with hidden depths – this could be it.
