Summary - 12 PARK ROAD MELCHBOURNE BEDFORD MK44 1BB
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Characterful village cottage with separate office and courtyard garden.
Two double bedrooms with dormer windows and exposed beams
This late‑19th‑century terraced cottage blends authentic period character with practical living spaces. Exposed beams, an inglenook fireplace with a wood‑burning stove and dormer windows give the house strong cottage appeal while two double bedrooms provide comfortable family accommodation.
A rare, practical bonus is the separate red‑brick outbuilding that houses a home office/studio with shower room, WC and laundry facilities — useful for home working, hobbies or occasional guests. The rear courtyard is low‑maintenance and private, while a pretty front garden adds kerb appeal in this sought‑after village setting.
Buyers should note this is a traditional solid‑wall property with oil‑fired central heating and an EPC rating of E. The house retains many original features but requires updating and improved insulation; ceilings are lower in places and broadband speeds are slow. These factors should be considered by buyers planning long‑term energy savings or full modernisation.
Positioned in peaceful Melchbourne with easy road and rail links to Bedford and London, and within reach of good local schools, the cottage suits families or professionals seeking character, rural life and a workspace separate from the main house. It will particularly appeal to buyers who value charm and are willing to invest in sensible upgrades.
