Set in a peaceful village-edge location, this substantial five/six-bedroom country house occupies a huge plot of approximately 4 acres (STS) and offers extensive outbuildings and equestrian facilities. The principal suite enjoys countryside views and an en-suite; multiple reception rooms, a conservatory and a rustic farmhouse kitchen provide flexible family living across generous rooms. The detached indoor pool and converted office space add lifestyle and work-from-home possibilities.
The property presents significant scope for modernisation and improvement — it currently needs renovation — making it suitable for buyers seeking to personalise a large rural home or to develop the outbuildings (subject to planning). The range of barns, 15 stables, tack room, menage and workshops gives genuine equestrian and small-holding potential, plus space for storage or conversion.
Practical considerations are straightforward: freehold tenure, ample off-street parking from the gravel courtyard, and mature gardens backing onto open countryside. Connectivity is good for a rural setting with easy road links to Bedford, Milton Keynes and rail services to London, though broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is average.
Buyers should note the renovation requirement and likely maintenance costs across the farmhouse and extensive outbuildings. Those looking for a well-located, characterful rural property with significant space and flexible buildings will find strong long-term potential here.
