Set on a very large, rectangular plot backing onto open farmland, this substantial detached house offers flexible family living and genuine multi-generational potential. The main house provides four generous bedrooms, a high-ceilinged refitted kitchen with marble worktops and a breakfast island, a formal lounge, office with fireplace and underfloor heating throughout key ground-floor areas. The recently constructed annexe (1,323 sqft) links internally and also has a separate entrance, its own air-source heat pump, underfloor heating and three bedrooms with en-suites — ideal for guests, older relatives or rental income.
Practical comforts include an indoor air-quality filtration system, two fully refitted kitchens, a large 426 sqft garage with services (strong conversion potential), extensive private parking behind gated access, and mature boundary screening that preserves privacy and country views front and rear. The plot’s depth and neighbouring spacing create a semi-rural feel while nearby villages and Bedford provide day-to-day amenities and several Ofsted-rated Good schools within reach.
Buyers should note a few material points: the main heating remains oil-fired with radiators (annexe uses air-source heat pump), broadband speeds are reported slow, and council tax is described as quite expensive. The property was built in the 1980s, has double glazing (install date unknown) and has been newly renovated, but any further extensions or conversion of the garage would require planning permission. Overall this is a high-amenity, well-presented countryside-edge holding suited to large families, multi-generational households or buyers seeking annex rental potential.
