<p>Tortoise Property are pleased to present this beautifully maintained three-bedroom detached family home, positioned on Aqua Drive within the popular Hampton Woods development, overlooking the conservation area to the front.</p><p><strong>Please call to arrange a viewing or virtual tour.</strong></p><p>The property occupies an attractive position at the end of a private block-paved road, giving it a more open feel than many modern developments. The front elevation combines cream rendered walls with brick detailing beneath a pitched tiled roof, while dark-framed windows create a contemporary appearance. A paved pathway leads through the lawned frontage to the entrance door, with the conservation area opposite providing pleasant views from both the lounge and principal bedroom.</p><p>You enter the home into a bright entrance hallway finished with crisp white walls and light oak herringbone-effect luxury vinyl flooring. Decorative wall panelling adds character alongside the staircase, while doors lead to the lounge, kitchen/dining room and ground-floor cloakroom. An under-stairs cupboard provides useful everyday storage, and the overall layout creates a practical introduction to the home.</p><p>The ground-floor cloakroom is fitted with a white WC and pedestal hand basin with chrome mixer tap. Finished with bright white walls and the same herringbone-effect flooring as the hallway, it provides a convenient facility for both family members and guests.</p><p>Positioned to the front of the property, the lounge is a comfortable reception room with a wide window overlooking the conservation area. Bright white walls are complemented by decorative wall panelling and light oak herringbone-effect flooring, creating a modern yet welcoming atmosphere. The room comfortably accommodates a range of seating furniture, making it an ideal place to relax or entertain.</p><p>Stretching across the rear of the property, the open-plan kitchen and dining room forms the social heart of the home. The kitchen is fitted with contemporary dark charcoal-grey Shaker-style base and wall units, finished with brass-effect handles and pale marble worktops. Integrated appliances include a Kenwood dishwasher and fridge-freezer, together with an electric oven, four-ring gas hob and stainless-steel extractor hood above.</p><p>A stainless-steel sink with mixer tap is positioned beneath the rear-facing window overlooking the garden, while the generous worktop space and storage cupboards make the kitchen well suited to everyday family life.</p><p>The dining area enjoys French doors opening directly onto the patio, creating an excellent connection between the indoor and outdoor living spaces. Decorative white wall panelling with botanical feature wallpaper provides additional character, while there is ample room for a family dining table and chairs.</p><p>Leading directly from the kitchen, the separate utility room continues the same contemporary finish with matching Shaker-style cabinetry and marble worktops. There is space for both a washing machine and tumble dryer, while the Ideal Logic boiler is neatly housed within one of the fitted cupboards. A side window provides natural light and a door gives convenient access to the driveway.</p><p>The staircase rises to the first-floor landing, finished with bright white walls and a soft cream carpet. Two shelved storage cupboards provide useful additional storage, while a loft hatch with fitted ladder gives access to the fully boarded loft space. Doors lead from the landing to all three bedrooms and the family bathroom.</p><p>The principal bedroom is positioned to the front of the property and enjoys pleasant views across the conservation area opposite. Finished with bright white walls and a cream carpet, the room provides comfortable space for a double bed together with freestanding wardrobes and bedroom furniture. A door leads directly into the ensuite shower room.</p><p>The ensuite is fitted with a white suite comprising a WC, pedestal hand basin and glazed quadrant shower enclosure with sliding doors. Stone-coloured porcelain-effect tiling surrounds the shower and sanitaryware, while patterned vinyl flooring, a chrome heated towel rail and an obscure-glazed window provide a practical and contemporary finish.</p><p>Bedroom two is positioned to the rear of the property and overlooks the garden. Bright white walls are complemented by decorative green half-height panelling and a feature jungle-themed wall, creating a room with plenty of personality while still offering flexibility as a children's bedroom, guest room or home office.</p><p>Bedroom three is also positioned to the rear and is finished with bright white walls and a cream carpet. A rear-facing window provides natural light, while the room offers flexibility as a bedroom, nursery or study depending on the requirements of the occupier.</p><p>The family bathroom is fitted with a white three-piece suite comprising a bath with thermostatic shower over, WC and pedestal hand basin. Stone-coloured porcelain-effect tiling surrounds the bath and sanitaryware, complemented by patterned vinyl flooring and a chrome heated towel rail. A side-facing window provides natural light and ventilation.</p><p>Outside, the rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to create a practical and attractive outdoor space for the whole family. A generous paved patio extends across the rear of the property, providing ample room for outdoor dining and entertaining immediately outside the kitchen.</p><p>Beyond the patio, the main garden is predominantly laid to lawn and bordered by established planting, raised timber beds and mature shrubs, creating interest throughout the seasons. A modern pond adds a tranquil focal point, while a timber playhouse and greenhouse provide additional versatility for families and keen gardeners alike. Timber fencing encloses the garden, and a gated side access leads directly to the driveway.</p><p>The property benefits from a block-paved driveway running alongside the house, providing off-road parking for two vehicles. Thanks to its position at the end of the private road, there is additional parking immediately in front of the property, allowing space for approximately six vehicles in total, a rare advantage for a modern family home.</p><p>Hampton Woods is one of Peterborough's newest residential neighbourhoods, combining modern homes with landscaped green spaces, lakes, cycle routes and everyday amenities. The conservation area opposite the property enhances the sense of openness, while the surrounding Hampton development provides a wide range of facilities within easy reach.</p><p>Families are particularly well served by local education. Hampton Lakes Primary School can be reached in a few minutes walk, while Hampton Hargate Primary School is around 6 minutes away by car. Hampton College along with Hampton Gardens, provide education from primary through to sixth form and are approximately 6 minutes away by car, giving families excellent educational options as children progress through different age groups.</p><p>Serpentine Green Shopping Centre can be reached in approximately 7 minutes by car, offering a Tesco Extra, national retailers, cafés and restaurants. Additional shops, food outlets and leisure facilities are available throughout the wider Hampton area, while nearby lakes, nature walks and cycle routes provide excellent opportunities for outdoor recreation.</p><p>Peterborough city centre can typically be reached in around 15 minutes by car, offering access to Queensgate Shopping Centre, restaurants, entertainment venues and the city's mainline railway station. Peterborough Railway Station provides fast services to London King's Cross, Cambridge and destinations across the north of England.</p><p>The A1(M) is approximately 10 minutes away by car, while the A605 and Fletton Parkway provide convenient access towards Huntingdon, Stamford, Oundle and the surrounding regional road network. Journey times are approximate and may vary depending on traffic conditions.</p><p>We love Hampton Woods because it combines contemporary family living with excellent access to schools, green open spaces and everyday amenities. Aqua Drive enjoys one of the development's most attractive positions overlooking the conservation area, while the home itself offers stylish interiors, generous family accommodation, an impressive rear garden and exceptional parking for up to six vehicles.</p><p>The property has a Council Tax Band of <strong>D</strong>.</p><p>Contact Tortoise Property to arrange your viewing or virtual tour of <strong>217 Aqua Drive, Hampton Woods</strong>, and experience our local expertise as estate agents in Peterborough and the surrounding villages.</p>
