9 Elmfield Road, Peterborough

£300,000 - £320,000 (Guide Price) A home with room for everyone, space for every occasion and a garden that makes family life feel that little bit more special.

Positioned along Elmfield Road in the established Peterborough neighbourhood of Dogsthorpe, this substantially extended four-bedroom semi-detached home offers over 1,500 sq ft of accommodation across three floors, combining generous living spaces, flexible bedrooms and a wonderfully established rear garden.

From the character of its bay-fronted sitting room to the spacious family living areas and garden-facing conservatory, the accommodation has been arranged to accommodate the changing demands of family life.

Four bedrooms provide space for growing families, visiting guests and home working, while the generous driveway and long rear garden add another dimension to the property's appeal.

With Peterborough's city centre within convenient reach, this is a home that offers both the practicality of everyday living and the space to enjoy it.

The ground floor has evolved over time to create a particularly versatile arrangement, with several distinct living spaces that can be enjoyed independently or together.

At the front of the property, the sitting room provides a welcoming retreat from the busier parts of the house.

An attractive bay window draws natural light into the room, while a feature fireplace creates a focal point and adds a sense of character.

With comfortable proportions and a more traditional feel, it is an inviting place to relax at the end of the day, enjoy a film or simply find a quieter moment.

Beyond this, the central living room forms a natural gathering place for family life.

Measuring approximately 11'5" x 10'10", it offers a comfortable setting for informal seating, children's activities or a more relaxed everyday living area.

The adjoining dining room provides a dedicated space for family meals and entertaining, with an attractive archway connecting the two areas and creating an easy sense of flow.

This arrangement offers a particularly useful balance between open, sociable spaces and the ability to retain separate areas for different activities.

To the rear, the conservatory provides a lovely transition between the house and garden.

With extensive glazing, a pitched roof and double doors opening onto the outside terrace, it is a bright and pleasant space from which to enjoy views across the garden.

Whether used as an additional sitting area, a sunny breakfast room or somewhere to sit with a coffee and enjoy the changing seasons, it adds another dimension to the ground-floor accommodation.

The kitchen is positioned alongside the principal living areas and extends to approximately 15'7" in length.

Fitted with a comprehensive range of light wood-effect cabinetry and contrasting work surfaces, it provides excellent storage and preparation space, with appliances arranged along both sides of the room.

The layout is particularly practical for busy households, while a glazed door opens directly onto the rear garden, making outdoor dining and entertaining especially convenient.

A welcoming entrance hallway, complete with staircase and useful storage, provides access to the principal ground-floor rooms, while a separate WC adds further everyday convenience.

Upstairs, the first floor continues the theme of generous and flexible accommodation.

The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, measuring approximately 19'1" in length and offering a wonderful amount of space for bedroom furniture, wardrobes and additional seating.

Its generous proportions create a comfortable retreat away from the main living accommodation, while an adjoining en-suite shower room adds a welcome level of privacy and convenience.

Bedroom two is another excellent double, measuring approximately 12'5" x 10'11", with plenty of room for a double bed and accompanying furniture.

The third bedroom on this floor is also well proportioned, measuring approximately 12'11" x 8'8".

Currently arranged as a child's bedroom, it would work equally well as a guest room, nursery or dedicated home office.

A family bathroom, fitted with a bath, wash basin and WC, serves the additional bedrooms. A further staircase rises to the second floor, where the fourth bedroom offers something a little different.

Measuring approximately 13'7" x 12'6", this characterful room sits beneath the roofline, with sloping ceilings and roof windows bringing natural light into the space.

Its position away from the main bedrooms makes it particularly appealing as a teenager's retreat, guest accommodation or a peaceful home office.

For families looking for somewhere that can adapt as their needs change, this additional floor is a particularly valuable feature.

Outside, the rear garden is undoubtedly one of the property's highlights.

Extending a considerable distance behind the house, it offers a combination of generous paved seating areas, established planting and a substantial lawn, creating a garden with plenty of space for both relaxation and activity.

Immediately behind the property, a large paved terrace provides an excellent setting for outdoor dining, summer barbecues and entertaining friends and family.

Beyond this, the garden opens onto an established lawn, with mature trees, shrubs and planted boundaries creating a pleasant green backdrop.

There is ample space for children's play equipment, gardening and enjoying the outdoors, while the established planting gives the garden a sense of character that can take many years to develop.

Towards the far end of the garden, a timber summerhouse offers another useful space, whether for hobbies, relaxation or additional storage, complemented by a separate garden shed.

It is easy to imagine summer afternoons spent outside, children playing on the lawn and evenings gathered around the table on the terrace.

For those who value outdoor space, the garden is a particularly attractive feature and an important part of what makes this property stand out.

To the front, a driveway provides convenient off-road parking, while the property's traditional exterior, decorative brick detailing and arched entrance give it a distinctive appearance.

The home also benefits from solar panels, reported to be owned outright, together with a recently installed gas boiler, providing additional practical considerations for prospective purchasers.

Dogsthorpe offers a convenient setting for family life, with local schools, shops and everyday amenities nearby, while Peterborough city centre is within easy reach.

The city provides a comprehensive range of shopping, dining and leisure facilities, together with excellent transport connections, including direct mainline railway services to London King's Cross.
