We are delighted to offer for sale this stunning Grade II listed Georgian home in the popular village of Cranfield. This spacious property enjoys lovely character features, 4 reception rooms, a separate kitchen, a utility room, a cloakroom WC, 4 well-proportioned bedrooms, a family bathroom and en-suite to the primary, a private enclosed garden with a large patio, gated off-road parking and a workshop, with planning permission granted historically to extend above the kitchen, utility and workshop.

This Georgian home enjoys excellent kerb appeal, with a beautiful frontage, well-maintained mature hedgerows, plenty of space for potted plants, and gated side access to the rear. Upon stepping inside, the entrance hallway is bright, wide and welcoming, enjoying carpets, pendant lighting, stairs to the first floor, front and rear access, and access through to the downstairs living space, including a large study which features a set of French doors that open out onto the patio area.

The kitchen is a very good size and along with the utility room has been modernised in the last few years, with a range of base and wall units, granite worktops, a window to a garden aspect, exposed beams, tiled flooring and splashbacks, an integrated oven, microwave, hob and extractor, and space for a dishwasher and other small kitchen appliances. The utility room provides further storage, access to the garden and to a cloakroom WC, and space for large laundry appliances. There is also accessible loft space above the kitchen, utility and workshop, which has historically been granted planning permission to extend.

The dining room is a very good size, benefiting from lovely character features, a bay window to the front, a second window to a side aspect, high ceilings, a stunning feature fireplace, a chandelier light fitting, carpets, and space for a large dining setting and storage furniture. Across the hallway, the sitting room is equally a bright and spacious room, enjoying a bay window to the front, a second window to a side aspect, high ceilings, a feature fireplace, plush carpets, and vast amounts of space for seating and storage furniture. The snug offers further versatile reception space, benefiting from integrated storage and high ceilings, quarry tiled flooring, and a stunning exposed brick fireplace with a wood-burning stove.

Upstairs to the first floor, this beautiful home continues to impress, with 4 well-proportioned double bedrooms, integrated storage and wardrobes, and a family bathroom comprising a bath, a WC and a hand wash basin. The primary bedroom is particularly large and enjoys its own en-suite, with a shower, WC, bidet and sink. On the landing, there is a stained glass window that frames and overlooks the patio and garden beautifully.

Outside, to the rear, the garden is an excellent size, fully enclosed by fencing and hedgerows and offering a remarkable private space to relax during the warmer months. It is laid mainly to lawn, with a large paved patio that leads off and spans the width of the rear of the property, offering space for garden furniture, enjoying meals al fresco and entertaining guests. There are borders and raised beds, numerous mature trees dotted through the lawn, access to sheds, access to the garage and workshop, and scope for future owners to put their own stamp on things.

The property is situated centrally in the village close to the popular village café, hairdressers, barbers, home décor shop, doctor’s surgery, pubs, newsagents and shops. Directly across the road is the village's main park area, which provides access to the Forest of Marston Vale.
