Bassenhally Road, Whittlesey, Peterborough

What An Unbelievable Transformation! This spacious double fronted 4 bedroom detached has been totally transformed. It's had a high quality back-to-brick refurb, a thoughtful ground floor redesign and a garden makeover to make it perfect for our busy modern family lives.

This spacious family home was built nearly 100 years ago in 1928 but it’s the work carried out in the last 6 months that has made such a big difference.

It’s now like a showhome quality newbuild - just without the tiny rooms and paper thin walls!

It was bought earlier in 2023 as a project to modernise - and you can tell the care that has been taken and the attention to detail throughout. The house had a full electrical rewire, all new appliances throughout, LED downlights in every room and a new heating system with a smart thermostat to ensure you can always arrive to a nice and warm Home.

The ground floor layout has been completely reconfigured to get the best out of the available space and make it as family-friendly as possible.

The social heart of the home is a brand new open plan kitchen / diner / family room. Now everyone will love spending time here - whether that’s grabbing a quick slice of toast in the morning or catching up at the end of a busy day.
With integrated appliances, through a sink that has integrated glass washer & water fountain to make washing up a bliss; to the solid wood worktops that have a waterfall-effect finish, this kitchen will be the pride on any social event!

Adding a downstairs bedroom with an ensuite created a perfect space for an elderly parent, a loud teenager, a guest room or even as an out-of-way office space. The additional cloakroom is just a cherry on top.

French doors open to the sun-trap south facing back garden, which has also had something of a makeover. It’s a great outside space, with a seating area nearest the house and over 25m of lawns with mature borders and even a greenhouse. The colour- and fruitful garden features a selection of trees and shrubs: apple, pear, plum, grape, acer, magnolia, fuchsia, silk tree. A low maintenance garden that could be featured in Gardening magazines!

There’s a detached wooden garage/shed with access down the side of the house. It also has it's on power supply and circuit, so it can easily be adopted into a workshop/studio, a garden office or even a bar!!!!
French doors also open from the handy utility room / laundry room which is just off the kitchen. Hanging the washing on the line will be a breeze – although there is space and connection points for a tumble dryer as well.

If the kitchen / diner / family room is the social hub of the home, the separate lounge and the downstairs bedroom/office at the rear are both perfect for sneaking away to chill out and relax.

Upstairs there are three good size double bedrooms, with the master also benefiting from a small walk-in wardrobe.
The family bathroom has been transformed into a luxurious sanctuary worthy of a boutique hotel, complete with a bath, a walk-in shower and his & hers basins.
There’s both free on-road and offroad parking on the side or at the back of the property.

The town centre is less than a 10 minute comfortable stroll away or a minute away in the car.

The same can be said for Alderman Jacobs Primary School or Sir Harry Smith Community College - they’re both a short walk away.
Peterborough is around 20 minutes drive away or you can leave the car at home and catch the train from Whittlesea station.

With that in mind this could be the ideal base if you need to travel into London for work or pleasure. You can jump on an East Coast Mainline train at Peterborough and be stepping onto the Kings Cross platform in around an hour.

This spacious and versatile property may have Georgian roots but following the recent work it’s a thoroughly 21st century family home.
I’m expecting plenty of interest so call or complete the enquiry form to arrange a viewing.
