Whittlesey, PE7 1QB

Enjoy 20 Years Of Someone Else's Love, Hard Work And Care. Built in the late-80s and thoughtfully updated ever since. With four double bedrooms, a 27ft lounge, double garage and a southwest facing garden. Now ready for the next family to enjoy. You move into some homes and immediately start making a mental list. Needs a new boiler. Sort the draughty windows. That bathroom needs doing. This really isn't one of those houses. That’s because the current owners have spent two decades on it - and at this point, pretty much everything has been replaced, upgraded or improved. The living room stretches to just over 27ft (7m) - long enough to zone into a proper sitting area around the log burner and still have room for everyone at the other end. Bifold doors open straight out to the southwest-facing garden, so on a good day the line between inside and outside more or less disappears. The dining room sits off the living room through new glazed oak doors, and the kitchen runs alongside it - with cream flat-fronted units, open shelving, angled extractor and a breakfast bar that catches the morning light. Air conditioning keeps the lounge comfortable whatever the weather's doing outside. Upstairs, the main bedroom has fitted wardrobes running the full wall, air conditioning, and its own ensuite tiled in teal metro brick with a walk-in shower. The family bathroom has been finished in large-format grey stone tiles with underfloor heating. There are three more double bedrooms, so no-one has to draw the short straw. Outside, the southwest-facing garden has a large lawn, planted borders, and a covered pergola with space for outdoor dining at the far end New windows, fascias, soffits and guttering mean the outside of the house has had the same attention as the inside. At the front, the block-paved drive easily takes four cars, with the detached double garage alongside for storage, hobbies or a workshop. This spacious and versatile home is in quiet cul-de-sac that’s so handy for town. It’s only a 3 minute drive or a 17 minute walk from the centre of Whittlesey. Here you’ll find plenty of shops, cafes and pubs, along with a thriving local community. If you have younger children, Park Lane Primary & Nursery School is only 15 minutes walk or a short drive away. For older kids, Sir Harry Smith Community College (rated “Good” by Ofsted) is only 6 minutes away in the car. If you love nature, Kings Dyke Nature Reserve is only 20 minutes walk or 4 minutes drive away, with plenty of country walks on your doorstep. The cul-de-sac is near the northern edge of town, meaning you can quickly get out to explore the country lanes and open fields. A house like this - where everything has already been updated to a superb standard, with versatile space that actually works for a modern family - doesn't come up that often. This one is definitely worth seeing in person. We're expecting plenty of interest from discerning families, so get in touch to arrange a viewing.
