LU7 0AE
2 bed 1 bath Cottage
Period two-bedroom cottage with large garden and exceptional village views.
Thatched roof replaced this year
An exceptional two-bedroom detached thatch cottage set on a large plot in the peaceful village of Heath and Reach. The thatch was replaced this year, preserving period charm while reducing immediate roof maintenance. Inside, generous dual-aspect living space, a fitted kitchen with pantry, and a bright sunroom/conservatory capture the wide, uninterrupted rear garden views.
The house sits on a substantial landscaped garden that has been carefully maintained and offers scope for further enhancement or simple low-maintenance planting. Practical features include driveway parking for several cars, a detached garage and a utility/laundry room. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and the village provides good primary schools and convenient links to Leighton Buzzard and the M1 for commuters.
Buyers should note this is a Grade II listed property (listed status) which may limit alterations and could complicate future works or extensions. The layout includes two double bedrooms, one main bathroom on the ground floor and a separate W/C upstairs — suitable for couples or downsizers but potentially limiting for growing families needing extra bathrooms.
Other practical points: council tax is above average, and local crime levels are reported as above average. Overall, this cottage will suit buyers seeking character and garden space in a quiet village setting who are comfortable with the restrictions and responsibilities that come with a listed period home.
