12 bedroom detached house for sale

An Edwardian twelve bedroom Country House in private gated landscaped gardens of approximately 3 acres about 0.5 miles from Milton Ernest village and 5 miles from amenities in Bedford. The Grange was originally built in 1906 for Mr Henry Curtis, a notable farmer and landowner in the area. During the war it was used by the Armed Forces, and between the wars it was used as a private school. In 1950 The Grange was sold and converted into apartments and in the 1990s the property became a residential home. Previous owners, who purchased it in 2010, converted it back to a family home. These owners also installed a high specification fire/burglar alarm and CCTV, a camera monitored entry system by the entrance gates, and fire exit crash doors onto a full metal fire escape. Energy saving improvements included Heritage style replacement double glazed windows and heavily insulated roof spaces. The extensive steel infrastructure offers potential to extend the house further if required.
