Please call to arrange either a viewing or a virtual tour of this property.
The property is approached via a large gravel driveway providing off-road parking for multiple vehicles, with gated side access leading through to the rear garden. Internally, the home offers well-balanced accommodation extending to approximately 92 sq/m / 990 sq/ft, combining practical family living space with useful storage and ancillary areas rarely found in homes of this type.
The ground floor begins with an entrance hallway giving access to the principal accommodation and staircase to the first floor. Positioned across the rear of the property, the lounge enjoys a pleasant outlook over the garden and provides a comfortable everyday living space filled with natural light. Alongside this, the impressive open-plan kitchen and dining area forms the social heart of the home, offering excellent proportions for modern family life and direct access onto the garden through French doors. The kitchen itself is fitted with a range of cabinetry and work surfaces and remains in generally good order, providing a solid base for future cosmetic updating if desired.
One of the property’s most practical features is the covered side hallway, which connects the front and rear gardens while also providing access to two separate storage rooms and an outside WC. This area adds excellent everyday functionality for storage, gardening equipment, bicycles or workshop use and significantly enhances the practicality of the home.
On the first floor, the landing leads to three bedrooms and the family bathroom. Bedrooms one and two are both generous double rooms, while bedroom three provides an ideal child’s bedroom or nursery. The bathroom is the most modernised room within the home, finished in a clean contemporary style and includes a bath with fitted shower over, wash hand basin, WC, chrome heated towel rail and recessed ceiling lighting.
Externally, the rear garden is undoubtedly one of the home’s standout features. Occupying a larger-than-average plot, the garden offers substantial outdoor space with lawned areas, mature planting and an additional extended section beyond the main garden, creating a wonderfully secluded environment with a semi-rural feel. The outside space offers enormous potential for families, keen gardeners or buyers considering future landscaping or extension opportunities, subject to the necessary permissions.
Bishops Close is well positioned within the Eastfield/Dogsthorpe side of Peterborough, offering convenient access to local schooling, healthcare, shopping facilities, public transport and the city centre.
For families, Dogsthorpe Academy on Central Avenue is close by and can typically be reached in around 10–12 minutes on foot, making the morning school run practical for many households. City of Peterborough Academy is also within easy reach and is typically around 5–7 minutes by car, depending on traffic.
For day-to-day convenience, local shops and services around Dogsthorpe and Eastfield are easily accessible, while Brotherhood Shopping Park provides a wider range of retail options and is typically around 10–12 minutes by car from the property. Peterborough city centre and Queensgate Shopping Centre are also within practical reach, typically around 8–10 minutes by car, while public transport journeys into the city centre are generally around 15–20 minutes, depending on the service and time of day.
For healthcare, Boroughbury Medical Centre on Craig Street is one of the nearby GP options and is typically around 8–10 minutes by car. Nearby pharmacy provision is also available around the wider PE1 area, including services close to Princes Street and the city centre.
For commuters, Peterborough Railway Station is typically around 10 minutes by car from the property, offering excellent rail links including direct services to London King’s Cross. Road links are also convenient, with access towards the A47 and wider routes around Peterborough.
The property benefits from uPVC double glazing and has an EPC rating of C, with potential to improve further over time. The home is council tax band B with an approximate annual cost of £1,700 per year.
We love this part of Peterborough for its practicality, accessibility and strong sense of established community.
