5 bed detached house for sale

Church Street, Whittlesey PE7

Description

Originally built in 1912, Hallcroft is a beautiful late Edwardian home with plenty of space (around 2,400sqft) and an impressive plot of just under 0.7 acres. It's packed with character and period features, and has been thoughtfully updated by its current owners - only the third family to live here in over a century.

You'll find five bedrooms, three reception rooms, and a stylish new kitchen, bathroom, en-suite, and WC. The original fireplaces, deep skirting boards, and solid wood doors are all still here, giving the home that unmistakable period feel.

Set back on Church Street behind a brick boundary wall and matching gates, the house enjoys a lovely carriage driveway and is surrounded by mature gardens on all sides. It's private, peaceful, and full of greenery.

Step inside and the hallway immediately sets the tone - it's wide, welcoming, and full of character, with a sweeping staircase that draws the eye. The layout downstairs is spot-on: A bright dining room with a beautiful bay window and original fireplace at the front, and a large, cosy living room at the rear, perfect for relaxed evenings by the fire.

Just off the living room is what would have once been a loggia - now transformed into a sun room with garden views and doors leading outside. It's a great place to unwind with a book or enjoy a quiet coffee.

The kitchen is bang up to date, with floor-to-ceiling units, a central island (with breakfast bar), two Neff ovens, and a venting hob. Just next door, the utility room has also had a modern refresh and includes integrated appliances, a Quooker tap, and plenty of storage. There's even a lovely circular window that nods to the house's heritage. A handy new WC completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, the original balustrade has been lovingly restored, and the landing, with a large window that frames the lush garden, opens up to five bedrooms - four of which are doubles. The main bedroom now has its own en-suite, and two of the rooms come with built-in wardrobes. The fifth bedroom is currently set up as a study, ideal for anyone working from home.

The bathroom has been given a stylish update too, with a freestanding bath, overhead shower, and traditional-style fittings that feel right at home here. The separate toilet is just next door.

Outside, the space continues to impress. Beyond the electric gates is a courtyard with secure parking, a garage, and a workshop. A former gym has been converted into a fully fitted office, with heating and air conditioning - a brilliant space away from the main house when peace and quiet is needed.

There's a large patio out the back for entertaining, a long lawn with mature trees, and even a pond with a bridge and stone folly tucked away at the far end. It's peaceful, private, and just a brilliant space to enjoy with family and friends.

Homes like this don't come along very often - especially ones with this much history and warmth. If you'd like to know more, give us a call.
