Coates Road, Whittlesey, Peterborough, Cambridgeshire

Not What You'd Expect From A Chain Free Bungalow. No patterned carpets or wood panelled walls here - instead you get a stylish family home where all the hard work has already been done. Bi-fold doors open onto a large south-facing garden, with plenty of parking and further scope to extend.

Chain free bungalows usually come with a long list of jobs and the need to hire a skip. This one has already had all the work done, with a substantial rear extension, a new front porch, and every room taken back to bare brick and rewired before you arrive.

That means fresh plaster and completely new electrics in every room, with stylish flooring and clean white walls ready for your furniture and your family.

The open plan kitchen / lounge / diner stretches over 25ft, which gives you space to properly zone it into seating, cooking and eating areas. A wall of bi-fold doors opens onto the large south facing back garden, so lunch can spill out onto the patio on a sunny day.

There are four bedrooms, with fitted wardrobes in the main bedroom, and a gorgeous fully tiled family bathroom.

Out front, the in-and-out driveway comfortably takes up to ten cars, so nobody has to reverse onto the road or move a vehicle to let someone else leave. The detached double garage has its own dedicated entrance, and there's a car port too.

The south-facing garden is enclosed, private and something of a blank canvas right now - ready for landscaping.

When planning permission was granted in 2021 for the rear extension it also covered two additional extensions at the front, so the house has room to grow when your family does. You may need to reapply but the previous approval puts you in a great position.

Practical matters have been dealt with too - there's gas central heating with a modern boiler (approximately three years old), mains drainage, full fibre broadband, the mobile signal is strong on Vodafone and O2, and a fitted loft ladder in the hallway leads up to the loft.

Eastrea is a quiet little village about two miles east of Whittlesey on the A605, and it's about five minutes by car into town.

Whittlesey is a busy market town with a leisure centre and swimming pool, and the Straw Bear festival fills the town every January.

Footpaths, bridleways and cycle routes lead to both Whittlesey and next-door Coates, where Coates Primary School was rated "Good" by Ofsted at its last inspection.

Whittlesea station has trains to Peterborough taking around eight minutes, and London King's Cross is about an hour from there.

If you want to move into an extended and much improved family home on your own timetable - with nobody else's sale to hold you up - this stylish bungalow is well worth a look.

I'm expecting plenty of interest in a chain free home like this, so get in touch to arrange your viewing.
