Summary - Field Cottage, Colesden MK44 3DA
5 bed 2 bath Cottage
Mid-1800s detached cottage on circa 2.25 acres with equestrian facilities
A substantial mid-19th-century cottage set on about 2.25 acres, Field Cottage blends original character with contemporary living. Exposed beams, oak floors and a refitted farmhouse-style kitchen open to a bright living/dining area with bi-folds, creating sociable family spaces. Separate receptions, a conservatory and a garden room give flexible space for work, play and privacy.
The grounds are a principal asset: a south-facing lawn with large wildlife pond, newly fenced paddocks, stables, tack room and manège make this well-equipped equestrian smallholding. Outbuildings include a sound‑proofed studio and triple garage, offering scope for hobby business, gym or home office. Generous gated parking and gravel frontage add secure, low‑maintenance convenience.
Practical points are clear and factual. Heating is electric with room heaters; mains broadband speeds are very slow and the timber-frame walls are assumed uninsulated. The house has been updated and extended, but older construction and secondary glazing mean buyers may want to budget for insulation, heating upgrades and ongoing maintenance.
This home will appeal to families and riders seeking privacy, acreage and flexible living close to Bedford and St Neots, with rail links to London and Cambridge within easy reach. For purchasers seeking a ready‑made, low‑maintenance equestrian base with strong scope to improve energy efficiency and personalise interiors, Field Cottage offers rare space and seclusion in an accessible countryside location.
