Cromwell Street, Campbellford: A Buyer's Guide to Quiet Streets and Big Yards

When Keith and Lisa, local brokers with Willows Realty Group, show buyers around Cromwell Street, the same reaction comes up again and again: this is quieter than they expected, and closer to everything than they thought. This guide walks you through the street, the neighbourhood, and the home at 155 Cromwell St., with the landmarks, schools, and commute times named so you can picture exactly how daily life would work.

What Kind of Street Is Cromwell Street?

Cromwell Street is a classic Campbellford residential street. It runs through a well-established part of town where the houses sit on generous lots behind mature trees, many of them mid-century brick ranches and bungalows like the home at 155 Cromwell St., with a few newer builds and townhomes mixed in over the years. It is the kind of street where the sidewalks see daily dog walks, where kids ride bikes in the summer, and where people actually wave when you drive past.

That quiet, neighbourly feel is exactly what draws buyers to Campbellford in the first place. If you want the fuller picture of why families settle here, our Campbellford neighbourhood guide covers the schools, the parks, and the commute in detail.

Walk to Downtown, the Hospital, and the Schools

The location is the quiet hero of this street. From 155 Cromwell St., downtown Campbellford is within a comfortable walk, with Bridge Street and Front Street offering restaurants, cafés, shops, and services. The Campbellford Memorial Hospital sits on Bridge Street as well, close enough that a quick appointment or a visit to the pharmacy does not require getting in the car. The local elementary schools, including Kent Public School, are also within walking distance for families.

Campbellford as a whole scores about 63 out of 100 on Walk Score, the "Somewhat Walkable" range, and this part of town is where that walkability shows up in daily life. Instead of planning every errand around the car, you can stroll into town for a coffee on Front Street, meet a friend at one of the local restaurants, or take the kids to the park and be home in time for supper.

Two Lots, One Rare Opportunity

What sets 155 Cromwell St. apart is the land. The property comes with two separate lots sold together, giving you a yard that feels more like a small park than a backyard. There is room to picture a detached garage, a workshop, a garden, or simply a huge open space where the kids can run and the family can gather. That kind of room is increasingly rare closer to the city, and it is exactly what our two lots, one home guide explains in detail.

The yard is already set up for entertaining. A cozy fire pit anchors the gathering space, a patio and dining area sit ready for summer meals, and a picturesque pond and charming gazebo add character you would not expect from a typical street listing. It is a backyard built for hosting, from summer barbecues to long evenings around the fire.

A Move-In Ready Home Inside

Step inside and the home is clean and ready to live in. It has been freshly painted throughout, which gives every room a bright, finished feel from the moment you walk in, and a brand-new, high-end Maytag washer and dryer take care of everyday convenience. With 3+2 bedrooms and two bathrooms, there is room for a family, guests, or a home office, all on a property that does not ask for a long list of projects before you settle in.

If the phrase "move-in ready" matters to you, our move-in ready guide walks through exactly what that label should mean in 2026, so you know what to look for on a showing.

Schools Near Cromwell Street

For families, the schools are a big part of the appeal. Campbellford's public elementary options, Kent Public School and Hillcrest Public School, sit within a short walk of most residential streets, and high school students attend Campbellford District High School under the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board. Hillcrest adds an Extended French program for Grades 5 to 8, and St. Mary's Catholic School offers a Catholic elementary option in town.

Landmarks and the Trent-Severn Waterway

Cromwell Street is also a short drive from the reasons people fall for this part of Northumberland County. Campbellford is an official Trent-Severn Trail Town, and the waterway runs through the heart of the community. Just south of town, Ferris Provincial Park and the Ranney Gorge Suspension Bridge are a favourite short hike, and the locks at Ranney Falls bring boaters through in the warm months. Downtown Campbellford holds the title of the largest commercial area between Belleville and Peterborough, which is why its independent shops and restaurants feel so complete for a town of this size.

If you are still getting to know the area, our guide to what makes Campbellford special for home buyers is a great companion read, and the 155 Cromwell St. photo gallery shows the home, the backyard, and the street from every angle.

Commutes From Cromwell Street

The drive matters too. Campbellford is about 30 minutes from Highway 401 at Brighton, and roughly 45 minutes to Peterborough, Belleville, or Cobourg for work, shopping, and appointments. Toronto sits at about two hours. It is a commute many families and remote workers measure in podcasts, and the town is growing because of that balance. According to 2021 federal census data, the Municipality of Trent Hills grew by about 7.4% between 2016 and 2021, a sign that buyers keep choosing to settle here.
