Description

Nestled in a tranquil no-through lane within the desirable rural setting of Bourne End, this distinctive four-bedroom cottage, which traces its origins back to around 1850, presents an exciting investment opportunity. Formerly two separate farmworker cottages, it has been thoughtfully unified into a spacious family home set on an expansive 2.4-acre plot (STS), featuring extensive equestrian amenities ideal for those with horses or for potential business use. The property boasts a range of character features alongside versatile living spaces. The ground floor welcomes you through a generous entrance hall that leads to a classic kitchen equipped with integrated appliances and providing ample room for casual dining. A sizeable sitting room features an original brick fireplace with a wood-burning stove, creating a cozy atmosphere for relaxation. Additionally, the conservatory adds valuable light and space, perfect for various purposes including dining or home office use. On the first floor, you will find a principal bedroom offering picturesque views over the surrounding countryside, plus three additional bedrooms providing flexible accommodation options—one of which includes its own en-suite shower room. This layout presents numerous possibilities for creating dedicated workspaces or guest accommodations. The outdoor facilities are particularly noteworthy; the property includes six stables, paddocks, and extensive outbuildings such as barns that could easily be transformed into workshops or residential annexes. The insulated gym barn also offers significant potential for conversion to suit various needs. The gated driveway provides ample parking space for multiple vehicles, while security measures like electric gates and CCTV enhance peace of mind. With local amenities just moments away and excellent transport links to cities like London via nearby train stations and major road networks, this property combines rural tranquillity with practicality. This cottage truly represents a rare find in terms of both lifestyle and investment potential within the vibrant community of Cranfield.
