Description
This four-bedroom detached house is in Orton Waterville, around three miles south-west of Peterborough city centre. The village has local shops and a public house, with bus services to the city centre. Schools, Nene Park and nearby shopping centres are also within reach. The property is described as dating from the 1980s and is within the village Conservation Area.
The ground floor includes an entrance hall, cloakroom, lounge with a fireplace and doors to a conservatory, a separate dining room and a study. The kitchen connects to a utility room with a door to the rear garden. Upstairs are four bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with an en-suite shower room, and a separate family bathroom.
Outside, the house has an enclosed rear garden with lawn and paved areas, a gravelled front garden and a driveway providing off-road parking for two vehicles. A detached brick-built double garage is also included. The accommodation offers scope for updating, with the extent of work to be assessed by a buyer.

Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
This four-bedroom detached house has a clear improvement canvas: the interiors are dated, with worn flooring and wall finishes, while the kitchen, utility area and both bathrooms offer scope for a more substantial refresh. The established garden also has lawn and paved seating areas to work with, and the visible roof and brickwork appear broadly intact. The fundamentals are strong, but the asking price is already high against the local £/sqf benchmark. More importantly, adding the £42,000–£78,000 refurbishment range to the £425,000 purchase price leaves the project’s cost stretched against the local average for this floor area; that comparison is not a forecast of the value after renovation.
Key opportunities
- Refresh the dated kitchen and utility finishes, including the visibly worn flooring.
- Update both bathrooms and replace worn carpets and older wall coverings across the shown interiors.
- Prune and clear the mature garden planting while making better use of the lawn and paved seating areas.
Key risks
- At £425,000, the purchase price is already above the local £/sqf benchmark, and the refurbishment budget further stretches the cost against the local average for this floor area.
- Purchase plus works may take you to around £485,000 including the asking price and quoted works of about £60,000 — roughly 26% above what comparable floor area achieves locally in current condition — current-condition benchmarks only, not after-works GDV.
