4 Bed Detached House For Sale Benwick Road, Peterborough, PE7

An extended 1930s family house, with versatile accommodation and delightful, organic, cottage gardens, in all about 0.35 acre, set in a semi-rural position on the edge of the village.


\rSpring Meadows is a superb family home, set along a farm lane on the edge of the village of Warmington. The original part of the house was built around 1930 and has many attractive features of this era, with lovely windows affording wide views over the gardens and surrounding fields. The property was extended in the second half of the 20th Century, adding a significant amount of accommodation and garaging. The house now offers versatile living space with plenty of reception rooms and bedrooms. There is also scope for remodelling or the creation of an annex. Solar panels, both PV and thermal, have been added and take advantage of its southerly aspect, greatly reducing energy consumption. The full-rate FIT contract has several years to run.

The porch opens into the hall. The cloakroom is to one end and there are doors to two of the reception rooms and the kitchen. The living room is beautifully light, with a window to the south and a door opening to the garden. The wood burning stove, set into the brick fireplace, is a cosy focal point.

Across the hall is a sitting room or snug, also with a window to the south. A large stove is set within the fireplace. An archway opens to the dining room which has wonderful proportions and is superbly light with windows to the south and west and a French window opening to the garden. This room serves as a lovely family room. Double doors open to the kitchen, which is fitted with a range of wall and base units with worksurfaces and inset sink. A gas cooker is inset. There is ample space for family mealtimes. A door leads through to the useful utility room, which in turn leads to the outside.

Stairs lead from the hall to the first floor landing which has a wonderful view to the front. The inner landing offers a walk-through study area with balcony overlooking the garden. The main bedroom suite offers a dressing area, a very comfortable bedroom with far-reaching views from two windows, and an ensuite shower room / WC. There are three further double bedrooms, each with a southerly view over the fields. The main bathroom is a generous size and fitted with the usual suite.

The integral, double garage offers a host of possibilities, for conversion to additional accommodation. It could be a simple knock-through from the living room, if full integration was required. Alternatively, it could serve as a separate annex, as there is a small kitchen and a WC already in situ.

The productive, organic gardens are another delightful aspect of this family home. They are a haven for wildlife, extend to about 0.35 acre and surround the house. Paths meander through wildflower beds beneath the fruit trees, which provide dappled sunlight across the lawn. A patio is set beside the dining room to capture the afternoon and evening sunlight. Well-stocked fruit beds include gooseberry and currant bushes, as well as raspberry canes. There is a greenhouse and four vegetable beds. The garden enjoys excellent privacy, created by mature hedging to the boundary. The drive to the front is gated and provides ample parking and turning space.
