Description

This characterful 18th-century thatched cottage is nestled in the heart of a Bedfordshire village, presenting a unique opportunity for renovation and expansion. With a substantial outbuilding and room for further development, this property is perfect for investors or those looking to create their dream home. The cottage maintains much of its historic charm with period features such as exposed beams and an inglenook fireplace in the living room. Originally extended in the 1930s, the ground floor now includes a spacious bathroom suite and a functional kitchen, alongside living and dining areas that are ready for modern updates. The upper floor hosts two bedrooms with built-in wardrobes. The external spaces also hold potential; the landscaped rear garden requires some upkeep while a large timber workshop with power offers versatile usage options. Accessed via double gates, the driveway accommodates several vehicles, enhancing practicality. This property is offered at auction, allowing buyers to seize this opportunity on Wednesday, August 5th, 2026.
