Worried That Upsizing Will Cost You More Every Month?
This stylish detached family home comes with solar panels, battery storage and EV charging already fitted - so you get the bigger, better home you've been waiting for, with a lot less anxiety at the end of the month.
You've done the sums. You know the mortgage will go up when you move to a bigger home. What you didn't factor in is a property that helps with two of your biggest monthly bills.
The solar panels feed into a home battery stored in the loft, which means the energy you generate during the day doesn't just disappear if you're out at work - it's there when you get home.
The EV charger on the drive means the car runs off the roof too, in effect. Two of your biggest monthly costs reduced, without having to visit the Martin Lewis website!
The house itself is in beautiful condition throughout. Oak flooring runs across the ground floor, giving the whole place a warm and considered feel.
The living room is wide enough to zone into a sitting and dining area, leading through to a kitchen that really is the heart of the home.
It has white shaker units, marble-effect worktops, French doors opening straight out to the garden. This is where family life happens.
The garden wraps around two sides of the house, there's a patio area off the kitchen for eating outside, a greenhouse for anyone with green fingers, and enough lawn for children or pets who need somewhere to run off some energy.
Planning is in place for a garage if you want to extend the drive further, though there's already plenty of room for two cars.
Upstairs, the main bedroom is a genuine double with space for wardrobes and a bedside table on both sides of the bed. The second bedroom is another comfortable double.
The third works well as a single or, as the current owners use it, a home office.
The family bathroom has been finished to a high standard - with full tiling in dark slate, a bath with a shower over it and a chrome heated towel rail.
Whittlesey town centre is a ten minute walk away - there's a leisure centre, a library and a good range of local shops and restaurants.
Park Lane Nursery and Primary School is only ten minutes walk away and Sir Harry Smith Community College (rated “Good” by Ofsted), is around fifteen minutes' walk.
If you want both children on one site, Alderman Jacobs Primary is an alternative that sits right next to Sir Harry Smith.
For commuters, Peterborough is twenty minutes away by car or ten minutes on the train from Whittlesea station. From Peterborough, the East Coast Mainline gets you to King's Cross in around an hour.
Commons Road gives you everything you wanted from upsizing - and a home that helps with the running costs concerns that may have been holding you back.
