Summary - Cross End, Thurleigh, Bedfordshire, MK44 MK44 2EE
3 bed 1 bath Equestrian Facility
Planning approved to extend into a large four/five-bedroom country home.
Grade II listed detached cottage on c.2.5 acres
A Grade II listed cottage on about 2.5 acres, offering immediate countryside living with clear scope for transformation. The current home provides three bedrooms, a dual-aspect sitting/dining room with inglenook fireplace and attached timber outbuildings including stabling for two horses and a hay barn.
Planning permission (Ref: 24/01955/FUL) has been granted to refurbish and extend the cottage and barns into a substantial contemporary four/five-bedroom house of approximately 2,800 sq ft. That consent presents a rare opportunity to create a large family residence with extensive glazing and modern finishes while retaining the listed character and rural outlook.
Buyers should note the property’s Grade II listing will restrict some alterations and could complicate conversions; listed-status consents and specialist contractors will be required. The buildings and grounds need maintenance and refurbishment to realise the permitted scheme, and broadband is slow. Crime is reported above average for the area, though the site is well screened by mature hedging and set back from the road.
This suits a purchaser seeking an equestrian or rural family home with planning in place — someone prepared to manage a listed conversion and investment in buildings and services to unlock long-term value and large, private grounds.
