Summary - BROCK COTTAGE BOURNE END BEDFORD MK43 0AX
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Spacious rural home with stables, outbuildings and strong conversion potential.
Circa 1850 detached cottage with period features
A charming four-bedroom detached cottage dating to circa 1850, set on a huge private plot in Bourne End, Cranfield. The house combines period character — exposed brickwork, a brick fireplace with wood-burning stove and a conservatory — with practical family spaces including a principal bedroom with countryside views and an en-suite to the fourth bedroom.
The site is the standout feature: roughly 2.4 acres (STS) with extensive equestrian facilities — six stables, menage, two paddocks, field shelter — plus multiple versatile outbuildings including an insulated gym barn, an events/party polebarn and a large workshop/garage. Gated driveway parking for about eight cars plus additional gravel yard parking supports visitors or potential event use.
This property offers clear income or conversion potential: outbuildings could be adapted for annex accommodation, workshops or small-scale commercial/equestrian businesses subject to planning. Location benefits include bridleways and public footpaths on the doorstep, very low local crime, good broadband, and a cluster of well-regarded local schools.
Notable practical points: the home is oil-fired with a boiler and radiators (oil not community supply) and has an EPC rating of D. Council tax is above average. The extensive site and numerous outbuildings will require ongoing maintenance; any business or residential conversions will need planning consent and likely investment to update services and finishes.
