Property Details

These new build homes offer contemporary living space designed for modern family needs, featuring open-plan layouts, light-filled interiors, and French doors leading to private garden patios.

Specific house types, such as 'The Elm,' are configured as three-storey semi-detached residences. The ground floor typically incorporates a spacious, open-plan kitchen/living/dining area with a separate utility room, while the first floor houses a distinct living space with French doors and the principal bedroom with an en-suite bathroom.

Countryside Homes, a developer with a strong track record, including over 100 awards for sustainability since 2000, ensures a high specification across the development. Properties come with a 10-year warranty, are designed for high energy efficiency, and include features such as gas boilers, and in approximately half of the homes, the inclusion of solar panels. Some units feature stylish fitted kitchens complemented by high-quality appliances from brands like Bosch.

Location Benefits

Fletton Folly benefits from its location in Yaxley, which offers a balance of village life and urban access. Peterborough city centre is situated just over five miles away.

Transport: Commuter links are excellent, with Peterborough Train Station reachable within a short drive. From there, direct rail services offer a journey time to London of approximately 50 minutes. Major road links, including the A1 and A15, are close by for ease of access across the region.

Education & Amenities: The development is designed to be an integral part of a new, evolving community, providing new schools, parks, and water features within convenient walking distance. Existing primary education in the village is served by two local schools, Fourfields Community Primary School and William de Yaxley Church of England Academy, both rated 'Good' by Ofsted.

For leisure, residents have immediate access to open fields, meadows, footpaths, and cycleways. The nearby Crown Lakes Country Park, which covers over 75,000 acres, is a popular local attraction offering parkland and a large leisure lake. Day-to-day shopping is catered for by existing small shops in Yaxley, with major retail options and high-street amenities available in central Peterborough or at the Serpentine Green shopping centre.
