Property description
A Grade II listed 16th century three/four bedroom detached cottage with a garage and detached home office, set in secluded gardens.
The cottage has a partly thatched roof and the ridge was redone in 2022. Period features include exposed oak beams, open fires, and stone and wood floors which blend with modern amenities including a refitted kitchen and a bespoke hardwood conservatory. The 1,708 sq. ft. of accommodation includes a reception hall with stairs to the first floor, two reception rooms, and a ground floor study with cloakroom which could be used as a fourth bedroom if required. The first floor has three bedrooms, all with fitted wardrobes, and a family bathroom which includes a roll top bath. The principal bedroom has oak flooring and an en suite shower room. The home office is insulated and has power, light, electric heating and a sink with water supply. It also has separate phone lines, is wired for broadband and is linked to the main house door bell. The driveway provides parking and access to the garage which has an up and over door, power and light.
Kitchen and Conservatory
The kitchen was refitted in 2021 and has a range of units with quartz work surfaces and a butler sink with a Quooker boiling water tap. Appliances include a Neff double oven, an induction hob, and a dishwasher. There is space for an American style fridge/freezer. Engineered oak flooring with underfloor heating continues into the conservatory which has doors to the rear garden, and a cupboard with plumbing for a washing machine and space for a tumble dryer.
Outside
The driveway provides parking and access to the garage which has an up and over door, power and light. The rear garden faces south west and is enclosed by high hedgerow providing screening and privacy. It is principally lawned with established borders and steps leading to a paved terrace. There is a shed and greenhouse which will remain.
Situation and Schooling
Wilden is a quiet village with its own small school and farm shop. It is about 5 miles from Bedford, with commuter access to A1 and Cambridge, and a bypass to M1 Junction 13 and Milton Keynes. The area has a new Waitrose supermarket and other superstores, plus Bedford’s Harpur Trust Schools, museum and art gallery, and landscaped riverside gardens.
