Character-filled two-bed cottage with car port and basement home office.
Freehold two-bedroom period cottage, larger-than-average interior
A larger-than-average period cottage tucked close to Toddington village green, this two-bedroom freehold home blends character features with practical modern updates. The main living room stretches impressively and retains period touches including a cast-iron fireplace and picture rails, while a refitted kitchen and contemporary bathroom provide everyday comfort. The lower-ground room offers a useful home office, study or cinema space.
Outside, the small rear garden is designed for low maintenance with paved and shingle seating areas, and a rare roller-shutter car port provides secure off-street parking — a strong asset in a village location. At about 819 sq ft overall, the house suits couples or young families wanting village life with easy commuter links to Luton, Dunstable and the M1.
Buyers should note practical drawbacks: the property has an EPC rating of E and only a single bathroom, so energy improvements and careful morning-time planning may be needed. The plot is small and maintenance of older brickwork/roof elements should be considered, although no flooding risk is recorded. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support home working.
This cottage will suit buyers seeking village character and versatility — ready to move into with scope to upgrade energy efficiency or personalise inner spaces. Schools, local shops and two pubs are within easy reach, making day-to-day life convenient for families.
