This newly renovated four-bedroom detached cottage combines period character with contemporary living spaces, set in a quiet Keysoe hamlet. The house offers generous room sizes, flexible reception spaces and a 28ft living room that frames uninterrupted countryside views through bifold doors. It suits families seeking space, home working options and easy access to nearby towns and schools.
The principal suite benefits from a Juliet balcony, en-suite and long rural vistas. Three further bedrooms, a guest en-suite, and multiple reception rooms give family flexibility or separate study/office areas. Outside, a west-facing garden with a new patio and large lawn makes the most of evening sun; there is parking for four-plus cars and scope to add a garage, subject to planning.
Buyers should note a few practical considerations: the property is heated by an oil-fired boiler, has double glazing installed before 2002 and solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation. The current EPC is F and council tax is described as expensive, so expect higher running costs and potential improvement work to raise efficiency.
Overall, this cottage offers a rare mix of rural outlook, generous living space and recent renovation. It will particularly appeal to families and those wanting countryside calm with reasonable road links to Bedford and St Neots, but buyers sensitive to energy performance should budget for upgrades.
