Property description

A 17th-century six bedroom detached house, refurbished and extended, with driveway parking, three garages, and landscaped gardens on a 0.3-acre plot in a village location with far reaching countryside views.

Built in the 1600s with modern additions, this timber framed under clay property was an 'ale' house, then cottages, before being converted to its present form. It retains original features including, exposed beams, a brick fireplace, a bar, and has 3,440 sq. ft. of versatile accommodation. On the ground floor there is an entrance hallway accessing a cloakroom and the integrated garage, a sitting room, a dining room, and an open plan kitchen/breakfast room with a utility area. A rear lobby leads to a second staircase, a laundry room with a separate WC and basin, and a bespoke garden room with a gallery. On the first floor, the principal bedroom has an en suite bathroom and built-in wardrobes; there are three further bedrooms and family bathroom. The second staircase leads to two more bedrooms and shower rooms. A shingle drive leads to the entrance and double garage and a further shingle driveway, detached garage and second front door are on the other side of the property.

Ground Floor

The dual aspect, over 26 ft. by over 15 ft. sitting room has exposed beams and a brick open fireplace with a granite hearth and a wooden lintel in a brick feature wall. The garden room, of similar size but two storeys high, has an exposed oak timber frame, two sets of French doors, a bay window, underfloor heating and a gable end with apex glazing. The kitchen is fitted with a range of light oak wall, base and drawer units, a black island unit, Quartz worktops and two separate single bowl sinks. There is a Miele induction hob with a built under oven, and a dishwasher. In the breakfast room is a Rayburn stove.

Outside

A paved patio with established flower and shrub beds retained by low brick walls is adjacent to and forms a courtyard area at the rear of the property and is an ideal sheltered space for al fresco entertaining. A further retaining wall has steps which lead up to the rest of the garden which is laid to lawn with a post and rail fence border. The garden has mature trees and hedging and two timber out buildings. Overlooked by no one, there are far reaching views across Bedfordshire countryside.

Situation and Schooling

Tingrith is located on the edge of the Duke of Bedford's Woburn estate and the Georgian village of Woburn, which has a range of restaurants and public houses, is approximately 3 miles away. The town of Woburn Sands - with a wider range of facilities - is a further 2 miles. There are middle and upper schools in Ampthill and Toddington; the Harpur Trust private schools are in Bedford.
