Description

This one-bedroom terraced cottage is nestled on the outskirts of a charming and desirable village in North Bedfordshire, presenting a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. Offered with no onward chain, this property is ripe for modernization, allowing potential buyers to tailor it to their tastes and needs. The cottage features double glazing and gas radiator heating, supported by a recently installed gas combination boiler, providing a solid foundation for future improvements. A notable advantage is the detached garage measuring 20'8" x 11'2", which offers additional storage or potential workshop space. The generous rear garden extends beyond the garage, featuring a mix of established flower beds, fruit trees, and areas suitable for landscaping or outdoor activities. Located in Harrold, this riverside village boasts an appealing traditional high street that includes shops, a post office, local eateries, and essential services such as a doctor's surgery. The community spirit is alive here, with access to various local clubs, sports facilities, and social gatherings. Harrold-Odell Country Park adds to the area’s allure with its scenic lakes and nature reserve spread across 144 acres. Accessibility is another strong point of this property; it enjoys convenient routes to the A6 and A428. Bedford lies approximately ten miles away, offering rail links to London St Pancras for commuters. Inside the cottage, you’ll find key living spaces that can benefit from updates. The living room features a Victorian-style stove-range fireplace flanked by fitted storage cupboards and offers an inviting focal point for renovation ideas. The kitchen comes equipped with modern units but has ample potential for enhancement or even an open-plan redesign. Upstairs includes a bedroom with built-in wardrobes and a Victorian fireplace that adds character but also invites modern touches. The bathroom contains essential fixtures that could be refreshed according to contemporary design preferences. Surrounded by natural beauty and community amenities while being positioned favorably for transport links makes this property not only an appealing home but also an attractive investment opportunity with significant renovation potential.
