Accommodation summary
Ground Floor
Step inside and be transported back to the 16th century, where the Tudor Grade II listed heritage comes alive. Originally two separate farm cottages, the property has been skillfully converted and extended, retaining its historic charm. As you explore the ground floor, you'll encounter a captivating blend of contemporary modernity and classic farmhouse ambiance.
The heart of the home resides in the kitchen exuding style and homeliness. Adorned with a gorgeous iroko wood island, this room beckons for gatherings and culinary delights. Glazed double patio doors open up to the courtyard and rear gardens, allowing seamless indoor-outdoor living during the summer months. A total of four spacious reception rooms grace the ground floor, two of which boast beautiful Inglenook fireplaces, one of them with a wood-burning stove, and another with a welcoming log burner. The charm of exposed authentic beamwork adds to the ambiance, creating an inviting atmosphere that makes you feel truly at home in this time-honored abode.
First Floor
On the first floor, the rich echoes of history resound, complemented by retained period features that enhance the overall ambiance. This vast accommodation spans two floors and is accessible via separate staircases, offering an ideal option for self-contained living, perfect for large families seeking their own space. As you ascend to the first floor, you'll discover six double bedrooms, providing ample room for relaxation and tranquility. The master bedroom is a luxurious retreat, featuring an expansive en-suite bathroom, while an additional family bathroom caters to the needs of the household.
Outside
Embrace the joy of harvesting fruit from your very own orchard, abundant with a variety of trees offering delicious cooking and eating apples, juicy plums, and more. As you explore the "Secret Gardens," you'll uncover various secluded spots, providing tranquil retreats hidden from view. A true treasure trove of nature's wonders, these gardens epitomize the essence of countryside living.
The property's charm extends beyond the gardens, as it serves as a haven for diverse wildlife. The far paddock has been a favored spot for nesting owls, gracefully soaring toward the captivating South Bedfordshire Countryside at twilight. Whether you have children, dogs, or horses, rest assured that they will thrive in this idyllic setting.
Ample parking awaits outside, accompanied by a double entry driveway and a charming oak-framed building that houses a generously-sized garage and workshop, currently being used as a gym. Surrounding the property are lush, spacious gardens adorned with majestic mature trees, vibrant lawns, and a thriving vegetable garden that transitions gracefully into the expansive paddocks, where the stables and hay barn stand, with endless possibilities.
