Description

This property presents a rare self-build opportunity in a picturesque village setting, complete with full planning approval for a four-bedroom detached residence of nearly 2,400 sqft. Nestled on a plot slightly under half an acre, the site is equipped with essential infrastructure, including outbuildings and a high-spec two-bedroom caravan that is connected to mains gas, electricity, water, and sewerage. The location offers stunning countryside views and immediate access to scenic walking paths. Additionally, it's conveniently located near the A6 for easy transport links to Bedford and beyond. The groundwork for development has already been laid; not only does it have planning consent (Planning Ref: 25/01847/FUL on Bedford Borough Council) for remodeling and extending the existing building but also includes extensive preliminary work such as completed ecological surveys and risk assessments. The two-bedroom static caravan serves as comfortable interim accommodation while construction progresses. A workshop provides secure storage for materials and equipment, complemented by attractive outdoor spaces designed for both living and entertaining. There's potential to enhance the landscaped gardens further or modify them based on personal preferences. With two access driveways enhancing logistical convenience, this property is perfect for those looking to capitalize on current infrastructure while embarking on a rewarding self-build project.
