Orchard House is a light and airy, extended and much improved family home, which sits centrally on its stunning tree lined mature plot of around 0.5 acres (sts). The property is located on the very popular Church Lane in a non-estate position.

The house was originally built in the 1950s and has been altered and extended over time and now offers free flowing accommodation which is in excess of 2,200 square feet and has potential for further enlargement if required. The house is being sold for just the third time in it's history.

According to the sellers, the house was designed by a microwave scientist who located the house in the middle of the half acre plot to make the most of the sun and benefit from solar gain.

Inside there is a light and airy feel with views over the property's grounds from all elevations. The first area to take your attention is the large entrance hall with stairs rising to the first floor with this area comfortably having space for a sofa, reading chair or similar.

In terms of day to day living the well fitted kitchen has doors to the garden with space to eat and sit as well as cook. There is access to the utility room, and a step back into the hallway gives you access to the separate living room which offers additional doors to the garden. Also on the ground floor there is a very useful boot room and cloakroom.

On the first floor there is a very impressive master bedroom with an en suite and a walk-in wardrobe. There are three further bedrooms, a further en suite cloakroom and a family bathroom. A drop down ladder offers access to the boarded loft space.

Other features of note include a Morso multi-fuel in the living room and a JetMaster fire in the family area of the kitchen and gas fired central heating and double glazing.

Outside years of work has gone into creating a wonderful garden which now offers a range of maturing shrubs, plants and trees including an orchard. The gardens wrap around the property and have been well landscaped and kept.

Orchard House is approached via a five bar gate and there is ample parking on the shingle drive in addition to the space within the double garage which has an office or hobbies' room over. Potentially this area could be developed to an annex, subject to any necessary consent.

Sharnbrook is located just nine miles to the north of Bedford with easy access from the A6 and easy access to Bedford's excellent network of roads allowing connections to the M1, A1, Milton Keynes, Cambridge and other important employment and recreational centres. Bedford's mainline railway station offers fast and regular services to London's St Pancras. There are both Primary and Secondary schools within the village and the Harpur Trust schools at Bedford.

Additional facilities in Sharnbrook include a Primary school, a day nursery, one Public House, an Indian restaurant/bar, three churches, a GP's surgery, local shops, an established village playing fields' association offering tennis, bowls, football, cricket, a social club and a village hall.

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on January 31, 2023

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
