17 Stanton Square, Hampton Hargate — a fresh look at a park-side family home – OIEO £365,000 – Tortoise Property Blog

Set around Stanton Square and looking over the park, this four-bedroom detached home is arranged with family life in mind.

The Home

A bright hallway introduces the open-plan kitchen, dining and family space, where gloss cabinetry and stone-effect worktops keep the look clean and modern, while a separate utility hides the practicalities. To the rear, the converted garage forms a versatile annexe (sunroom) with French doors to the garden, a mezzanine sleeping area large enough for a double bed and its own en suite — a brilliant set-up for guests, an older teen, a studio or a dedicated workspace. On the first floor, a contemporary lounge opens to a Juliet balcony with green views across the square, and the main bedroom enjoys fitted wardrobes and an en suite. The top floor adds three further bedrooms (one en suite) and a family bathroom, giving you three en suites, a bathroom and a cloakroom in total.

The Area

Hampton Hargate is loved for its balance of nature and convenience. Lakes, nature reserves and miles of walking and cycle paths thread through the neighbourhood, while schools, shops, cafés and leisure facilities sit close by. Peterborough city centre is within easy reach by road or regular bus, and the parkway network links quickly to the A1(M) and A47 for wider travel. It’s a setting that makes daily life simple — and weekends outdoors even easier.

Key Features

This home’s strengths are all about flexibility and low-maintenance living. The annex delivers genuine extra capacity without compromising the main footprint; the open-plan kitchen/diner/family zone keeps everyone together; and park-facing rooms soak up the outlook across Stanton Square. Outside, the garden has a covered pergola terrace, porcelain-tiled patio and artificial lawn for effortless entertaining, with a powered shed for hobbies and storage. A block-paved driveway, retained garage storage and side access complete the practical details. Energy performance is sound (EPC C) and day-to-day costs are straightforward (Council Tax band D).

The Hampton Market

Hampton remains one of Peterborough’s most consistently popular districts with family buyers and professionals, thanks to its modern housing stock, strong schooling and abundant green space. Homes that combine park-side positions with flexible layouts, private gardens and drive-up parking tend to attract strong attention, particularly when they offer multi-generational options such as an annexe and multiple bathrooms. With demand underpinned by local amenities and commuter connectivity, quality, well-presented family houses like 17 Stanton Square routinely feature on serious buyers’ shortlists.

Who Will Love This Home

Blended and multi-generational families will appreciate the independent annexe with its own en suite and mezzanine sleeping area. Busy households will love the three en suites plus a family bathroom, making mornings smooth, and the open-plan kitchen/diner/family space that naturally becomes the hub of the home. If you enjoy alfresco entertaining, the covered pergola and easy-care garden are ready for summer evenings with friends, while front-facing rooms and the first-floor lounge provide daily park views that never get old.
