Property description

A Grade II listed 16th century five bedroom detached cottage with an enclosed rear garden, driveway parking and outbuildings, situated within walking distance of local amenities on the High Street in Clophill.

The property has been refurbished by the vendor while retaining period features including exposed beams and timbers and fireplaces. On the ground floor there are two reception rooms and an open plan kitchen/breakfast room. Both reception rooms have exposed oak flooring and the sitting room has a feature brick fireplace with custom built shelving and cupboards either side. There is a separate utility room with a stable door to the side, and access to a cloakroom and a study area. The bedrooms are accessed via two staircases. One staircase leads to the principal bedroom, a bathroom and two further bedrooms. The principal bedroom has a built-in wardrobe and an en suite bathroom. The other stairs lead to a separate bedroom over the utility room and study. There is also a dressing room, and adjoining bedroom on the second floor. There is a gravel parking area for up to four cars. Please note, residents of 7A The Coach House have a right of access over the drive to their parking space.

Kitchen/Breakfast Room

The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a range of units with granite work surfaces incorporating a butler sink under a window overlooking the garden at the side. A bay window overlooks the courtyard on the other side. There is an inset Aga set on a brick hearth, an integrated dishwasher and an American style fridge/freezer. There is exposed oak parquet flooring and space for a breakfast table to seat six as well as soft seating.

Gardens

A side gate leads into the walled garden which is principally lawned with flower and shrub borders and established trees interspersed. There are several gravelled seating areas, one with a pergola over. To the rear is a timber outdoor barn and a garden shed.

The neighbouring market towns of Shefford and Ampthill are about 5 miles away and have a wider range of facilities.

Flitwick railway station is about 5 miles away and has services to St. Pancras International.

Purchaser Compliance & Administration Fee

To comply with the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017, Michael Graham is legally mandated to conduct compulsory Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Customer Due Diligence (CDD) checks on all property buyers. While we do not charge a commission fee to the property vendor, a mandatory compliance and administration fee of £54.00 (inclusive of VAT) per person is payable by the purchaser(s). This non-refundable fee covers the cost of third-party electronic identity verification, source of funds auditing, and the associated regulatory administration. This fee becomes payable upon an offer being accepted in principle and must be fully cleared before a Memorandum of Sale can be issued or solicitors instructed. The payment of this fee does not guarantee the completion of the transaction, and Michael Graham reserves the right to request further verification documentation to satisfy its statutory obligations.
