This delightful three bedroom stone-built cottage offers a rare opportunity to acquire a home of immense character in a quietly prestigious setting.
Description
Tucked discreetly behind a handsome thatched residence along Thorpe Road, this delightful stone-built cottage offers a rare opportunity to acquire a home of immense character in a quietly prestigious setting. With its charming façade and thoughtfully designed interiors, the property beautifully balances period detail with practical family living.
Comprising three double bedrooms, two reception rooms and a large kitchen diner, this home is perfect for those seeking tranquillity with convenience, the cottage lies within easy reach of Longthorpe Primary School, village amenities, and excellent transport links into Peterborough city centre and beyond.
A glazed front door opens into a welcoming entrance lobby with fitted shelving and glazed double doors leading into the heart of the home.
The country-style kitchen/diner is well-appointed with cabinetry, tiled splashbacks, and traditional wooden beams that frame the space with rustic charm. A freestanding electric cooker, stainless steel sink with mixer tap, and space for essential appliances ensure modern convenience.
The lounge is a warm and inviting space, featuring exposed beams, a fireplace with a gas-fired stove, and double doors that open onto the garden terrace—ideal for entertaining or relaxing in the warmer months. An open archway leads to a dedicated study area, perfectly suited to remote working or quiet reading.
A cloakroom completes the ground floor, offering a W.C, basin, tiled splashbacks, and chrome heated towel rail.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom benefits from a charming period fireplace, and a sloping ceiling that adds character. Two further bedrooms, one with fitted storage and attractive outlook, offering flexible accommodation for guests, children, or hobbies.
The family bathroom includes a bath with electric overhead shower and separate hand shower, WC, basin, mirror, and built-in storage.
The cottage garden is a true sanctuary, thoughtfully landscaped and laid to lawn with well-stocked flower beds, mature shrubs, and a variety of fruit trees. A generous patio area provides an ideal spot for al fresco dining. The garden also includes a 3m x 2.4m timber shed with power and lighting, a water butt, and an outside tap.
Location
Longthorpe is an historic village in a much favoured Peterborough location and has many listed cottages and amenities such as a Post Office, pub, tennis courts and bowling green.
