A Blank Canvas You Can Make Your Own, With Garden Views That Will Never Change. Backing onto protected Norman Cross fields, this three-bedroom bungalow sits back from the road with a sweeping driveway and almost half an acre of mature, leafy gardens.
The first thing you notice is the sense of space. The house sits around 30 metres back, framed by lawns, trees and a gravel drive that immediately sets it apart from anything else nearby.
But what really makes this home different is knowing that whatever changes you make, the view behind you will stay exactly as it is. To the rear, the gardens back onto Norman Cross fields, protected land connected to the area’s historic Napoleonic-era site and safeguarded from development.
Horses graze beyond the boundary fence, giving a timeless rural feel that is here to stay - so reassuring with all the new Great Haddon developments being built nearby.
The gardens are wide, established and full of potential. Large wraparound lawns and mature trees give you space to rethink, redesign or simply enjoy as it is.
Inside, the layout is straightforward and easy to work with. The main living room opens through to the conservatory, creating a bright, rear-facing space that naturally pulls your eye towards the gardens and the open fields beyond.
The kitchen connects to the dining room, offering a solid footprint for anyone considering a more open plan layout. A separate pantry and boot room adds storage space and day-to-day practicality - or scope to expand the shower room and separate w/c into something far more sumptuous and spa-like.
There are two comfortable double bedrooms, both set away from the main living areas and a third single bedroom which works well as a home office, guest room or study.
Let’s be clear, the bungalow needs refurbishment but the proportions and plot will make it a rewarding and fulfilling project for families looking to create their forever home in a timeless setting.
Outside, the circular driveway provides easy parking and turning, with a carport to the side.
Peterborough is a 15 minute drive to the north, giving a wide choice of shops, restaurants and services when you need them. The city’s mainline station provides fast, direct trains into London King’s Cross, while the nearby A1 gives easy road access both north and south.
The village of Yaxley is close at hand for your everyday essentials - including a choice of “Good” infant & primary schools.
Here, the setting and the scope go hand in hand. The distance from the road, the depth of the plot and the protected land behind give a level of privacy and peace of mind that’s increasingly hard to find.
It is no surprise the property has already attracted plenty of interest - if you’re looking for a blank canvas bungalow on a beautiful private plot you need to arrange a viewing.
