Tortoise Property is pleased to offer this charming two-bedroom stone cottage situated on Elton Road in the desirable village of Wansford (near Sibson), Peterborough, PE8.

Please call to arrange either a viewing or a virtual tour of this property.

This characterful cottage blends traditional village charm with practical modern updates. You enter the home directly into the spacious sitting room, where original wooden plank flooring and a brick fireplace with an iron stove create a warm and welcoming focal point. Either side of the fireplace are built-in storage cupboards, adding practicality without losing the cottage feel. From the sitting room, stairs rise to the first floor and the room also leads through to the kitchen.

The kitchen has been fitted with olive-green Shaker-style cabinetry with oak-effect work surfaces, complemented by metro-tile splashbacks and integrated cooking appliances. A useful under stairs cupboard provides additional storage, while the kitchen retains its original terracotta tiled flooring, adding warmth and authenticity. The kitchen opens into a small rear vestibule, leading to the ground-floor bathroom and out to the garden.

On the first floor, the landing provides access to two bedrooms. The main bedroom overlooks the front of the cottage and benefits from two built-in double wardrobes and shelving. The second bedroom is positioned to the rear with views towards the garden. Both bedrooms are finished in a calm, neutral style with white walls and soft oatmeal coloured carpet.

Outside, the cottage enjoys a low-maintenance rear garden, mainly laid to gravel with paved seating areas. Part-way down the garden is a practical brick outhouse/utility space with plumbing for appliances, a worktop and sink. Beyond this is a further patio area, a shed and a rear gate providing access to the service road behind.

Wansford is a highly regarded village location, known for its handsome stone cottages, riverside and countryside walks, and a strong community feel. This cottage sits in an especially convenient spot, with the Wansford Post Office directly opposite and the well-known Cross Keys pub just across the road.

A little further afield, a range of popular local amenities and destinations are close at hand, including The Paper Mills (a few minutes walk), Thirteen Wansford (a 5 minute walk), and the much-loved Haycock Manor Hotel, home to the Prévost Restaurant (a 5 minute walk). The village also benefits from a cricket ground and community hall (typically reached in a 5-10 minute walk), supporting an active, village-centred lifestyle.

Nearby Sibson adds further village charm and easy access to open countryside, ideal for those who enjoy a quieter pace of life with plenty of outdoor space on the doorstep.

For commuters, the road links are excellent. The A1 is reached in approximately 1 minute northbound by car and around 3 minutes southbound, providing fast connections both north and south.

Both Peterborough (around 9 minutes by car / approximately 8.3 miles) and Stamford (around 7 minutes by car / approximately 6.3 miles) are easily accessible, making Wansford an ideal base for work, shopping and leisure. For rail travel, Peterborough Railway Station is typically 10–20 minutes by car (traffic dependent) and offers direct services to London King’s Cross in around 50 minutes, while Stamford Railway Station is usually around 10–15 minutes by car, providing an additional convenient option for onward travel.

The property falls under council tax band A with an EPC TBC.

We love Wansford for its historic village charm, beautiful stone cottages, and easy access to countryside and major transport routes, making it an excellent location for those seeking village living while remaining connected to nearby towns and cities.

Rooms

Front (First Floor)
At the front, the cottage is set behind a traditional picket fence, with a gravelled garden and pathway leading to the entrance door — an attractive introduction to this charming village home.

Lounge (First Floor) 3.69m ( 12'2'') x 4.53m ( 14'11'')
Stepping through the front door, the cottage opens into a generous sitting room full of character and warmth. Original wooden plank flooring stretches across the room, complementing the bright white walls and creating a welcoming contrast with the exposed stone detailing around the windows and doors. At the heart of the room sits a traditional brick fireplace with an inset iron stove, forming a cosy focal point during the colder months. Either side of the fireplace, built-in timber cupboards and open shelving provide useful storage while enhancing the cottage’s rustic charm. A window to the front overlooks the gravelled front garden and picket fence, allowing natural light to fill the space and reinforcing the home’s charming village setting.

Kitchen (First Floor) 2.37m ( 7'10'') x 3.82m ( 12'7'')
Moving through to the kitchen, the home blends its period character with practical modern finishes. Olive-green shaker-style cabinetry is fitted at both base and eye level, paired with warm mid-oak laminate worktops that add a natural tone to the room. A stainless-steel sink with chrome mixer tap sits beneath a window framed by exposed stonework, looking out towards the rear garden. The kitchen is well equipped with a Lemona four-ring electric halogen hob, Lemona electric oven, and stainless-steel extractor hood, while olive-green metro tiling provides a stylish splash back across the preparation areas. There is space for a freestanding fridge freezer and a useful under-stairs storage cupboard. Underfoot, the kitchen retains its original terracotta tiled flooring, adding warmth and authenticity to this attractive cottage kitchen.

Vestible 1.17m ( 3'11'') x 1.39m ( 4'7'')
Beyond the kitchen is a small rear vestibule that connects the living areas to the bathroom and garden. The space includes an airing cupboard housing the hot water tank, while the flooring transitions to a sandstone-effect vinyl, chosen for practicality in this high-use area. A glazed door leads out to the rear garden.

Bathroom (First Floor) 1.72m ( 5'8'') x 1.95m ( 6'5'')
The ground floor bathroom is bright and neatly presented, with white walls and an obscure glazed window allowing natural light while maintaining privacy. The suite includes a white bath with mixer tap and handheld shower attachment, complemented by a glass shower screen and white porcelain tiled splash back. A white pedestal basin, WC, and chrome heated towel rail complete the room. The flooring continues with the practical sandstone-effect vinyl used in the vestibule.

Stairwell and first floor landing (First Floor) 0.78m ( 2'7'') x 0.92m ( 3'1'')
Stairs rise from the sitting room to a light first-floor landing where white walls are complemented by feature timber wall panelling. The landing continues the home’s light oatmeal coloured carpet, creating a soft and neutral backdrop as it leads to the two bedrooms.

Main bedroom (First Floor) 3.80m ( 12'6'') x 4.04m ( 13'4'')
Positioned at the front of the cottage, the principal bedroom is a bright and calming space with white walls and soft oatmeal carpet underfoot. The room benefits from two double built-in wardrobes, along with additional open shelving that provides useful storage while keeping the space uncluttered. A window overlooks the front garden and the quiet village street beyond.

Bedroom two (First Floor) 2.41m ( 7'11'') x 3.71m ( 12'3'')
The second bedroom sits to the rear of the home and shares the same clean decorative palette of white walls and oatmeal carpeting. A feature panelled wall adds subtle character. A window looks out over the rear garden, bringing in plenty of natural light and offering a peaceful outlook.

Outhouse (Ground Floor)
Midway down the garden sits a useful brick outhouse, fitted with plumbing for a washing machine and dishwasher, along with a stainless-steel sink and worktop space — effectively creating a practical utility area separate from the main house.

Shed (Ground Floor)
Beyond the outbuilding is a second patio area with water butt and garden shed, while a rear gate provides access to a service lane behind the property.
