A home that suits life today
Set on a peaceful street in ever-popular Netherton, this detached, chalet-style home is a comfortable fit for the 55–70 age group. The ground floor is arranged for easy day-to-day living, there’s level access to the garden for fresh-air mornings, and a powered garage for hobbies, storage or keeping the car under cover. Council Tax Band D (£2,186 p.a.). EPC C.
Spring–summer in the garden
The rear garden is mainly lawn with three patio areas to follow the sun through the day. Double gates open to a short drive beneath a pergola leading to the single garage with power and lighting—ideal for pottering, charging a mobility scooter or storing bikes. The front garden is also lawned, with paths to the side door, conservatory and rear gate.
Easy-living layout
Step into a light hallway leading to a practical kitchen with a handy side door (perfect for unloading shopping). The lounge opens to a sunny conservatory for relaxed reading or coffee with friends, and there’s a separate dining room for family meals. Crucially, the main bedroom and a modern shower room are on the ground floor, so you can live mostly on one level if you wish. Upstairs are two further bedrooms with excellent built-in storage for visiting family or a quiet hobby room.
Everyday facilities (with typical travel times)
Netherton is known for its convenience. Sainsbury’s at Bretton Centre is about 5–7 minutes by car for your big shop, while Queensgate Shopping Centre is typically 8–12 minutes’ drive for banks, fashion and coffee stops. Netherton Pharmacy (Ledbury Road) is around a 10–12 minute level walk or 2–3 minutes by car. David Lloyd Peterborough (Thorpe Wood) offers pools, classes and social space in about 7–9 minutes’ drive. Regular buses run into the city centre, and the A47 and A1(M) are close for easy trips to see family.
Healthcare close by
You’ll find GP surgeries and dental practices within 1–2 miles, and Peterborough City Hospital (Bretton Gate) is typically around 4–6 minutes by car, giving reassurance that comprehensive care is nearby when needed.
Community, calm and connection
Netherton has a friendly, well-kept feel that makes it easy to settle in. St Jude’s Church, local clubs (including Netherton United FC for grandkids’ matches) and nearby green spaces create a sense of belonging. Flat, walkable streets and good bus links make day-to-day life straightforward, whether you’re meeting friends, volunteering, or enjoying a quiet routine.
