A historical city with its eyes on the future
The cities roots stretch right back through time, with origins in the Anglo-Saxons period. Traces of this history can be seen throughout, such as its majestic cathedral with an original wooden ceiling and a museum that houses over 200,000 historical objects. But when you’re looking to buy a new build in a city that propels you into the future, Peterborough has plenty to offer.
The city was named a ‘Smart City’ in 2017 - a title given to locations with forward-thinking methods of going green. It has some of the fastest internet in the country, millions of pounds worth of investments being made and lots of entertainment to keep your diary full throughout the year. Manufacturing, digital and hospitality are just three of its booming sectors, providing lots of career opportunities for homebuyers.
A commuter’s hub
Many people buy a home here as it’s shoulder to shoulder with London - you can get there in less than 40 minutes! It’s also located on the A1, connecting you with Birmingham, Newcastle and even Edinburgh. In terms of trains, there are also direct lines to Leicester, Leeds and York, meaning that many of the UK’s major cities are right on your doorstep.
This is also a great location for cyclists. It’s known for its Green Wheel cycle route, a network that takes you in and around the city, along the River Nene and through quaint villages like Marholm and Etton. You finish on quiet, traffic-free roads into the city centre, meaning you get to explore every nook and cranny and really see why it’s a fantastic place to buy a house
