Set just off Wick End, this single-storey Hay Barn is a calm, move-in-ready bungalow that suits downsizers seeking country comfort with modern finishes. The open-plan layout, luxury specification and ensuite bedroom create an easy-living home with direct views over paddocks and wide, private grounds. A modern outbuilding/annex and large plot extend the usable outdoor space for hobbies or guests.
Practical strengths include energy-efficient features, double glazing, a separate laundry room and a 10-year warranty for added peace of mind. The property is freehold, detached and offers a straightforward single-floor arrangement of about 961 sq ft — simple to maintain and well suited to quieter retirement or downsizing lifestyles.
Important considerations: the home uses oil-fired heating (boiler and radiators) rather than a mains gas or community system, broadband speeds are reported as slow, and the local flood risk is medium. Records indicate an original construction period of 1967–1975 alongside claims of a new-build/newly renovated finish; buyers should note this mixed information and allow for potential clarification. The cavity walls are noted as built with no added insulation (assumed), so there may be scope or cost to improve thermal performance further.
For buyers who prize seclusion and wildlife — deer, buzzards and green woodpeckers are regular sights — this property delivers tranquillity without being isolated, with Bedford, Milton Keynes and London reachable for commuting or day trips. The village amenities are modest but charming, and very low local crime supports a peaceful lifestyle.
