Summary - 24 TURNPIKE ROAD HUSBORNE CRAWLEY BEDFORD MK43 0XB
2 bed 2 bath Terraced
Period charm, detached office, huge garden — listed status requires consent for changes.
Rare Grade II listed Tudor-revival terraced home with period character
This rarely available period-style home blends original character with practical modern living. The living room’s sash window and log burner create a cosy front reception, while a kitchen/dining area with bi-fold doors opens onto a paved European-style courtyard — a bright, low-maintenance spot for entertaining. Upstairs offers a large double bedroom, a second single bedroom and a family bathroom with a skylight.
A significant practical benefit is the detached garden office with its own shower room, useful for home-working or as an occasional guest room. The property also includes a larger-than-average single garage and access to a very large garden leased from the Duke of Bedford (modest fee). Broadband is fast and the area is very low crime, set in an affluent, rural community close to the Woburn Estate.
Buyers should be aware this is a Grade II listed building; listed status can restrict alterations and will likely complicate renovations or extensions. The house has solid brick walls that are assumed uninsulated and runs on an oil-fired boiler — both factors that may affect heating costs and future insulation works. Double glazing is fitted but the installation date is unknown. The large plot and detached office offer flexibility, but any changes will need listed-building consent.
Well-suited to those seeking a character property in a peaceful hamlet, this home is particularly attractive to downsizers or buyers wanting a rural base with good commuter links. Local primary schools are rated ‘Good’ and Milton Keynes and major road/rail links are within easy reach for wider amenities and commuting.
