Summary - 18, CROSS END, BEDFORD, THURLEIGH MK44 2EE
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Spacious 1840s detached family home on nearly 0.65 acres with double garage and open views.
Four bedrooms; principal bedroom with en suite bathroom
Set on just under 0.65 acres on the edge of Thurleigh, this handsome 1840s detached house offers generous family accommodation and sweeping open views. The house extends to about 2,236 sq ft with four bedrooms (principal with en suite), five reception rooms including a study and garden room, plus an open-plan kitchen/breakfast with an Aga — ideal for sociable family living and home working.
The wrap-around, well-established gardens are screened by mature hedging and trees and include useful outbuildings: a garden machinery store, potting shed and summerhouse. Parking is straightforward with a gravel forecourt for several cars and an attached double garage with power. The hamlet setting gives semi-rural outlooks and low flood risk while remaining within reach of local village amenities and good primary and independent schools nearby.
Practical points to note: the property retains period character but will benefit from sympathetic internal modernisation to update finishes and services. Heating is by an LPG boiler with underfloor heating; double glazing was installed after 2002 except for the porch. Broadband speeds are average; mobile signal is excellent. Council tax is reported as quite expensive and local crime levels are above average for the area.
This home will suit a family seeking character, space and a large private plot with scope to improve or extend (subject to planning). It also offers potential for value uplift through internal modernisation, loft conversion or reconfiguration while keeping the original charm and countryside outlooks intact.
