3 bedroom terraced house

An Edwardian mid-terrace cottage dating back to 1904 which is set over three levels offering both front and rear gardens with open-field views and, off road parking for two vehicles, situated on a no through road within the Bedfordshire village of Gravenhurst. Internally the property retains original period features to include exposed brick/timbers, stripped pine doors as well as open fireplaces.

Forming one of just four similar neighbouring homes, the property is built in a traditional red brick with a clay tiled roof and lattice style windows. There is a raised driveway allowing parking for two vehicles and a picket gate with steps down in to a hard-landscaped courtyard area. There is a detached timber framed summer house which is supplied with both power and light and an attractive arbour. A pitched, glass roof extension provides initial access to the property and forms a useful utility area with an opening leading into the kitchen dining room.

This attractive area of the home has fitted wall and base level units and a solid oak worktop. Space is provided for a fridge/freezer, tumble drier and a dishwasher. There is a double Belfast sink and a free-standing 'Belling' range oven which incorporates a 5-ring hob, hot plate, 2 ovens, a grill and warming drawer. There is a useful under stairs storage cupboard and internal door leading through to the living room.

This room features an open fireplace which houses a cast iron wood burning stove surrounded by exposed brick and a timber surround and mantle. Views are to the rear garden and beyond over agricultural land and south side of the village. A further internal door leads into a lobby area where a stable door provides access on to the gardens and a staircase rising up to the first-floor accommodation.

The landing area provides access into all rooms on this level. Both bedrooms feature cast iron fireplaces and 1 1/2 height ceilings. The bathroom is of good proportions and is fitted with a corner tub, vanity unit with top mounted basin and low-level w/c. There is a mosaic design tile to both the walls and flooring and a window faces to the front aspect of the home. A door off the landing leads to a further staircase and access up to the principal bedroom which forms part of a more recent attic conversion. This self-contained area has views to the rear and incorporates an en-suite shower-room.

The garden to the rear has a south facing orientation and has been landscaped with low maintenance in mind. A full width patio has steps down on to an artificial lawn and a picket fenced boundary encloses the garden to the far end. There are attractive views over farming land, and beyond to 'the Chilterns’ which is an area of outstanding natural beauty.
