This historic Grade II listed cottage, nestled within a generous 2.5 acres, presents an exceptional opportunity for renovation and investment. With secured planning permission, the potential exists to transform the existing structure into a contemporary four or five-bedroom residence by incorporating the adjoining barns and outbuildings. The proposed design includes modern featherboard cladding, clay tiled roofing, and expansive aluminium glazing that promises stunning views of the surrounding countryside.
Currently offering 1,032 sq. ft. of living space, the cottage features a dual aspect sitting/dining area with an inviting inglenook fireplace, a cozy study or snug, a practical kitchen, a bathroom on the ground floor, and three bedrooms upstairs. Privacy is ensured by mature hedgerows at the front of the property and access is gained through timber five-bar gates leading to ample parking spaces as well as paddocks and stables.
The property boasts well-maintained formal gardens with newly installed post-and-rail fencing enclosing paddocks that come equipped with timber gates linking them to additional agricultural structures including stables and a hay barn. An orchard featuring mature fruit trees further enhances this idyllic setting.
Situated in Thurleigh, this village offers local amenities such as a primary school and community facilities while being conveniently located for commuting options via nearby transport links in Bedford. This estate not only holds potential for an outstanding family home but also provides opportunities for equestrian or agricultural pursuits.
