Property description

An 18th century three bedroom detached cottage on a plot of approximately 1 acre with views over open fields and countryside.

The property has been improved by the current owners, blending period features that include inglenook fireplaces and exposed timbers, with modern day amenities including a refitted kitchen and new sanitary ware, both of which were done in 2020. There is potential to extend to the side and rear subject to planning permission. The 1,908 sq. ft. of accommodation includes a reception hall, four reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room, utility room and ground floor bathroom with a roll top bath. The first floor has three bedrooms, all with fitted wardrobes, and a family shower room. There are driveways on both sides of the cottage, one with parking for up to two cars and access to the garage, and the other which provides parking for up to six cars and access to a detached home office/studio which is divided into two areas and has power and light.

Kitchen/Breakfast Room

The farmhouse style kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a range of units with complementary work surfaces and flooring. There is a butler sink and space for a range style cooker with extractor over. A brick fireplace has full height cupboards built into the chimney recesses either side.

Rear Garden

A gated access leads to the rear garden which measures approximately 1 acre and is fully enclosed by mature hedgerow and post and rail fencing. It is divided into two areas; a principally lawned formal garden with trees interspersed and an enclosed spinney area. There is a paved outdoor entertaining area.

Situation and Schooling

Wilden is a quiet village with its own small school and farm shop. It is about 5 miles from Bedford, which has commuter access to the 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.
