This Grade II listed three-bedroom cottage combines authentic period character with a comprehensive, sympathetic renovation. Exposed beams, an inglenook fireplace with a log-burning stove and a bespoke oak kitchen give the house warmth and usable family space across a generous 2,087 sq ft (including outbuildings).
Downstairs living flows from a large sitting room into dining, kitchen and garden rooms; underfloor heating on the ground floor and a newly fitted heating and electrical system bring modern comfort. The principal bedroom has an en suite, two further double bedrooms upstairs share a luxury bathroom with a roll-top bath. The detached 250+ sq ft outbuilding offers a flexible home office, studio or gym.
Outside, the mature, landscaped gardens of about 0.5 acre provide private, versatile space for children and entertaining, with several paved terraces and a gravel driveway. The village setting gives a countryside feel while being within reach of Bedford and rail links for commuters.
Important practical considerations: the property’s listed status means alterations are restricted and may add cost or delay; the house retains solid brick walls with assumed no cavity insulation; main heating is oil-fired boiler and the EPC is F. Broadband speeds are slow locally, council tax is relatively high, and local crime levels are above average—factors worth checking against your needs before viewing.
