This semi-detached cottage, steeped in period charm, is nestled in a tranquil rural hamlet and presents a compelling opportunity for renovation and investment. Set on a generous 0.25-acre plot, the property offers the potential for modernization and possible extensions, subject to necessary permissions.
The cottage is one of two similar homes in this serene setting, surrounded by picturesque countryside with limited traffic, ideal for enjoying nearby scenic walks to the quaint Battlesden church. While it requires updates to reach contemporary living standards, it boasts features such as oil-fired central heating and a newer fuse board. Original elements like pine doors, sash windows, and charming period fireplaces add character that could be beautifully restored.
Inside, the layout includes an entrance hall with an understairs cupboard, a cozy sitting room featuring a cast iron fireplace, and a dining/breakfast room complemented by quarry tiles and another fireplace. The kitchen has basic units and an oil-fired boiler providing hot water and heating. Upstairs are three bedrooms—each with vintage fireplaces—and a bathroom equipped with essential fixtures.
Outside, the gardens provide ample space with expansive lawns dotted with apple, plum, and sloe trees that enhance privacy through established hedging. Additionally, there are three brick outbuildings at the rear offering valuable storage solutions.
Located just two miles from Woburn—a charming Georgian village known for its independent shops, restaurants, art galleries, and proximity to Woburn Abbey—this property enjoys both seclusion and convenience. The area is well-connected; the A5 is only a mile away providing easy access to Junctions 12 and 13 of the M1 motorway. Woburn Golf and Country Club is also nearby for golf enthusiasts. Furthermore, reputable local schools serve families well while nearby railway stations offer swift connections to London.
With its blend of rural charm and significant renovation potential in a desirable location, this property stands out as an attractive investment opportunity for those looking to create their ideal home or capitalize on the demand for modernized country living.
