Tucked away in a peaceful, private setting just minutes from Peterborough city centre, The Thatches is a Grade II listed detached five-bedroom former barn, thoughtfully and tastefully converted into a stunning family home. Enveloped by mature trees and accessed via electric gates opening onto a large, block-paved driveway, the property immediately gives a sense of arrival - a hidden retreat that feels far removed from the hustle of city life.

Steeped in heritage, the property retains original features throughout, including exposed stonework, timber beams, and a traditional thatched roof, while seamlessly incorporating contemporary upgrades for modern living. Floor-to-ceiling windows bathe the home in natural light, creating an open, airy atmosphere and framing beautiful views of the surrounding grounds.

Upon entering, you are welcomed into a spacious entrance hall. To the right, a beautiful open-plan kitchen and dining area offers the perfect balance of rustic charm and functionality, featuring granite worktops, bespoke fitted units, a solid oak-topped island, and ample space for a large dining table - the true heart of the home. The property is designed with flagstone flooring that runs throughout much of the ground floor. A separate walk-in store room off the kitchen adds valuable storage space.

The adjacent lounge/snug is a cosy and inviting space, complete with exposed stone walls, original beams, and patio doors leading to the garden - ideal for relaxing or entertaining. A secondary utility kitchen also opens onto the garden, making it perfect for summer parties, alfresco dining, or even conversion to a self-contained annexe space.
The ground floor also offers exceptional versatility, with two double bedrooms, a downstairs WC, and a modern shower room, alongside a dedicated home office or study space - ideal for multigenerational living, guests, or working from home.
Up the central stairs, there is a bright open-plan living area, which offers an ideal space for a games room, studio, or additional lounge. This leads to a further double bedroom or gym room with an en-suite shower room. The stunning master is accessed up a set of private stairs. This is a sanctuary in itself, with the bedroom leading through a dressing area into a recently renovated en-suite bathroom boasting a rainfall shower, spa-style freestanding bath, and luxurious finishes.

Outside, the private and enclosed rear garden features paved areas for seating and dining, manicured lawns, and a mix of mature shrubs and trees that offer year-round interest and privacy.

The Thatches is a home that perfectly combines historical charm with contemporary comfort. Its size, layout, and idyllic setting make it one of Longthorpe's most desirable residences - and a truly rare find in today's market.
