Description

This property presents a unique opportunity for renovation or investment, situated in a tranquil rural setting along Benwick Road, Whittlesey. Approximately three miles southeast of Whittlesey and eight miles east of Peterborough, the location offers a balance of serene countryside living while maintaining access to urban amenities. The site features a two-storey brick farmhouse that is currently in a state of disrepair. Set on a generous plot of about 0.17 acres, the building shows signs of structural damage and does not provide habitable accommodation in its present condition. However, this creates a potential canvas for those looking to undertake significant renovations or even consider demolition and redevelopment, subject to obtaining necessary planning permissions. Accompanying the farmhouse is an expanse of garden land to the south, bordered by hedges that provide some natural privacy. The property comes with rights associated with a strip of verge adjacent to Benwick Road, which has been used for access historically. Prospective buyers should investigate these rights further to ensure they meet their needs. Utilities are reportedly available nearby, but interested parties are encouraged to verify availability and connections independently. The existing boundaries are clearly defined on-site and can be referenced on accompanying plans. This property will be sold via public auction scheduled for November 27th, 2025, offering an as-is condition sale with vacant possession upon completion. This could appeal not only to individual home renovators but also investors looking for projects with significant potential in a developing area. Due to the property's current state, internal viewings are not permitted; however, interested buyers can visit the external site at their convenience with due diligence. Overall, this property stands as a promising option for those willing to engage in development efforts within a picturesque rural landscape.
