Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
'Penthouse' and 'cathedral views' are usually the first things we like to hear when looking into a home in Peterborough, and Scarlet Macaw has both — but that's not all it has to offer. Even though it's only up on the fourth floor, the wrap-around terrace will give you a pretty good overview of the city centre, and you have two lovely spots up there to eat, drink, and ponder. It's clear that this modern home was professionally put together. The colours match, the sleek furniture helps the space look even bigger, and the calm bedrooms leave very little to complain about. When you're ready for some urban exploration, you'll quickly find plenty of bars, restaurants, and shops in the nearby shopping centre.
