A Grade II listed former 18th-century village bakery, this four-bedroom stone cottage combines period character with recent, high-quality refurbishment. Exposed beams, bespoke joinery and a farmhouse-style kitchen with an electric Aga deliver authentic charm alongside modern comforts such as underfloor heating in parts and an EV charging point. The three-storey layout provides versatile living for families seeking character and practicality in a sought-after Bedfordshire village.
Ground-floor living centres on a cosy sitting room with a wood-burning stove and an elegant dining room opening to the landscaped courtyard. The kitchen’s butler sink, pantry and stone flooring make it a functional family hub, while the newly refitted five-piece family bathroom and additional shower room upstairs offer luxury and flexibility for busy households.
Outside, the private courtyard garden is low-maintenance and thoughtfully landscaped with a pergola, feature stone well and seating areas for al fresco dining. Practical benefits include off-street parking for one vehicle with EV charging and a timber shed. The village location offers countryside walks, two pubs and good access to Bedford and its mainline services.
Important practical points: the property’s listed status protects its historic features but may restrict alterations and will affect future maintenance and permissions. Broadband and mobile signals are average; council tax is noted as expensive. Overall this is a character-rich home suited to buyers who value period detail and village living and are comfortable with the responsibilities of owning a listed property.
