About PE5
PE5 is a small, mostly rural postcode covering the villages of Castor, Ailsworth, Sutton and Upton, just west of Peterborough along the Nene Valley. It's stone-built and historic in character, with the Nene Valley Railway running through it, and sits within easy reach of the city while feeling distinctly separate from it. It's one of the more expensive corners of Peterborough's postcode area.

Rental Market
These figures are for Peterborough as a whole (ONS Private Rental Market Statistics, May 2026, up 1.7% year-on-year; house/flat averages via Dwellio) rather than PE5 specifically — the rental market here is small and dominated by larger village houses, so expect rents above the city average. See current PE5 rental listings on Rightmove for a live read, or get in touch for a proper opinion on a specific property.
