Detached Period Home | Central Peterborough | Space, Flexibility & Potential
Ideally located just a five-minute walk from Peterborough city centre and the mainline train station, this detached period property offers an excellent opportunity for both owner-occupiers and investors in a highly sought-after location.
Set on a generous, enclosed plot with ample off-street parking, the property is currently arranged as a spacious three-bedroom main house over three floors, suitable for immediate occupation, alongside a self-contained two-bedroom ground-floor apartment offering further flexibility. The apartment would benefit from renovation and could suit multi-generational living, guest accommodation, or rental use.
While some areas of the property would benefit from updating, the size, layout, and central location provide clear scope to add value and tailor the accommodation to suit individual needs. The layout also offers potential for reconfiguration or redevelopment, subject to the relevant planning permissions.
Properties of this scale and versatility, within walking distance of the city centre, are rarely available. To fully appreciate the space and potential on offer, early viewing is highly recommended. Contact EweMove Peterborough West today to arrange your appointment.
