57 Hawksbill way – To Let – £1150 pcm – A Modern Fletton Home for Independent Living

An introduction to the home

For an individual renter, choosing a home is often about finding somewhere that gives you enough space to live comfortably without taking on more property than you actually need.

57 Hawksbill Way offers exactly that balance.

This modern two-bedroom home in Fletton is arranged across two floors, with a separate kitchen, spacious rear lounge, ground-floor WC, two bedrooms, family bathroom, private balcony, enclosed rear garden and nearby communal parking. At approximately 700 sq ft / 65 sq m, it gives one person plenty of room to create separate areas for relaxing, working and sleeping, while keeping Peterborough city centre, leisure facilities, shops and transport links close by.

The layout and living space

57 Hawksbill Way is arranged across two floors, giving the home a useful separation between the main living areas downstairs and the bedrooms above.

The entrance hallway leads to the separate kitchen, ground-floor cloakroom and lounge. The hallway is finished with white walls and soft grey carpet, with wood-effect internal doors and a darker matting area beside the front door. The kitchen sits towards the front of the property and is fitted with dark wood-effect base units, contrasting gloss white wall cupboards, light-coloured work surfaces and integrated cooking appliances. The room is finished with white walls and practical grey flooring, with a stainless-steel oven, five-ring gas hob, splashback and extractor hood. A front-facing window brings natural light into the room, while the separate layout means cooking can remain away from the main living space.

To the rear, the lounge forms the main everyday room. Measuring approximately 13’2″ x 15’5″, it gives an individual renter plenty of space to create separate areas for relaxing and dining without the room feeling crowded. The lounge is finished with white walls and soft grey carpet, creating a bright and neutral setting. Large glazed sliding doors open directly onto the patio and garden, helping the space feel bright and connected to the outside. A useful storage cupboard also provides somewhere to keep household items neatly tucked away.

Upstairs, the main bedroom is a well-proportioned double with fitted wardrobes providing built-in storage. The room is finished with white walls and soft grey carpet, with fitted white wardrobes providing practical storage. Glazed doors open directly onto the private balcony, adding an unusual extra feature and allowing plenty of natural light into the room.

Bedroom two gives the home much more flexibility than a typical one-bedroom rental. It is finished with white walls and soft grey carpet, creating a bright and neutral space. It could become a dedicated home office, guest bedroom, dressing room, hobby space or additional storage area depending on how you want to live.

The family bathroom is also positioned upstairs and includes a bath with wall-mounted shower, WC and hand basin with fitted storage. The bathroom is finished with white walls, white tiling and light wood-effect flooring, with mosaic-effect tiling adding detail around the shower area.

For an individual renter, the layout works particularly well because you can keep work, guests and hobbies out of your main bedroom and lounge, giving the home a much more organised feel.

Outdoor space made convenient

Outdoor space is another useful advantage of 57 Hawksbill Way.

The enclosed rear garden is accessed directly from the lounge through large sliding doors and is predominantly laid to lawn, with a paved patio immediately outside the house.

For someone renting alone, the garden offers space to sit outside, eat outdoors, entertain friends or simply have somewhere private to relax during the warmer months, without taking on the maintenance demands of a much larger garden.

The main bedroom also opens onto a private balcony overlooking the landscaped communal area to the front of the development. This gives the home two separate outdoor areas and adds something that is not commonly found in smaller rental properties.

Parking Practicality

Parking is available within the block-paved communal parking area positioned close to the property.

For an individual renter who drives to work or regularly travels around Peterborough, this keeps day-to-day routines practical.

At the same time, Hawksbill Way is close enough to central Peterborough that many destinations can be reached without using the car, giving you more flexibility depending on how you prefer to travel.

Lifestyle in Fletton, Peterborough

Fletton sits immediately south of Peterborough city centre and combines established residential streets, newer developments, local businesses and everyday amenities.

For an individual renter at 57 Hawksbill Way, one of the strongest advantages is how much is close enough to reach on foot. Peterborough United Football Club at London Road is around a 2–4 minute walk, while Peterborough Lido is approximately a 9–12 minute walk and the Regional Pool and Athletics Arena can be reached in around 14 minutes on foot.

For everyday shopping, Asda Superstore at Rivergate is approximately an 8–12 minute walk, with further shops, takeaways, restaurants and services available along London Road and throughout Fletton.

Peterborough city centre is also within easy reach. Queensgate Shopping Centre, Cathedral Square and the wider centre provide high-street shopping, cafés, restaurants, leisure facilities and places for teenagers to meet friends. Peterborough Cathedral is around a 13-minute walk, while Peterborough Museum and Art Gallery can be reached in approximately 14 minutes on foot.

The Key Theatre and Embankment are also nearby, providing live entertainment and riverside surroundings, while the River Nene gives residents additional opportunities for walking close to home.

For larger outdoor spaces, Ferry Meadows at Nene Park is approximately a 10-minute drive away, offering lakes, walking routes, cycle paths and open green space.

Schooling is another important part of the area’s appeal – a lovely addition for future plans of a single renter beginning to take the next stage in life to begin building a family or for children who may stay with you for periods of the week. The Peterborough School (and independent schooling option) can be reached in approximately a 5-minute drive, while The King’s (The Cathedral) School and Stanground Academy can generally be reached in around 5–7 minutes by car. The wider Peterborough area also provides further secondary, sixth-form and college options, giving families flexibility as a teenager progresses towards GCSEs, sixth form or further education.

Overall, Fletton works well for families with an older child because schools, sport, shops, entertainment and the city centre are all close by, helping teenagers gain more independence while keeping everyday family life manageable.
