A charming 18th century cottage, centrally located in a Bedfordshire village, offering a sizeable outbuilding and potential to enlarge.

Description
This period thatched cottage is set back from the road, with mature hedging to the front offering a very good degree of privacy, and double gates opening onto a driveway for multiple cars. The original cottage was significantly extended on the ground floor in the 1930s, adding a large bathroom suite (with separate bath and shower), rear hallway and kitchen to the existing living and dining rooms. There could be potential to create accommodation over two floors, subject necessary consents.

The original ground floor boasts period features throughout, with exposed beams and an inglenook fireplace in the living room. The dining room also features a log burner and a metal spiral staircase which leads to the upper floor. Two bedrooms occupy the first floor: A large master bedroom and a smaller second bedroom, both of which have built-in wardrobes and further exposed beams. The rear garden is landscaped and in need of some maintenance. There is a large timber workshop which has power and light, and an area of hardstanding to the front of the double doors which wraps around to the front driveway.

Accommodation
Ground Floor: Entrance porchway, living room, dining room, rear hallway, kitchen, and bathroom.
First Floor: Landing and two bedrooms.

Exterior
A gravel driveway to the front of the property which is separated by mature hedges from the road and entered via double gates. The driveway wraps around the side of the property and leads to a timber workshop and landscaped rear gardens.
