Hempsted is an established residential suburb located approximately 2 miles south of Peterborough City Centre - adjacent to Stillwater Nature Reserve. It was in the 1970’s that the local housing provision started to expand to accommodate the growth of the city and that trend continues today with the development of a new township at adjoining Hampton where plans are being realised to eventually build over 3,500 new houses. Hempsted benefits from excellent road communications and shopping facilities. It is situated on the A15 London Road close to the junction with Fletton Parkway (A1139) which provides quick and easy access to the A1 (M) at junction 17 approximately 4 miles to the west. Serpentine Green Shopping Centre (Tesco Extra, M&S Food, Next and River Island) is located 1 mile to the south.
The property is positioned just behind Drake Avenue which provides easy vehicular access to traffic heading north into the city centre. Immediately in front is London Road providing access south out of the city centre towards Fletton Parkway and Serpentine Green Shopping Centre. The two roads are linked by Columbus Road which runs across the front of the subject property. Columbus Road provides on street car parking for 44 vehicles.
