Property description

A Grade II listed 17th-century three bedroom thatched cottage and two barns (one also listed) with planning permission to convert into dwellings, as well as off street parking and an enclosed garden located in the village of Totternhoe.

The main property is a brick and thatched cottage with many original features including fireplaces and beamed ceilings and walls. Accommodation of approximately 2,028 sq. ft. is set over two floors, including a glazed porch leading to an entrance hall which accesses a kitchen/breakfast room and a sitting room with an inglenook fireplace between the two rooms. The sitting room has stairs to the first floor, a bay window at the front and a door to a dual aspect dining room which also has a brick fireplace and a further door to an inner lobby, leading to a study and a shower room. The first floor landing has a door leading to a built-in double cupboard and accesses the principal bedroom, which has a built-in wardrobe and a window to the side. There are two further double bedrooms, one which is dual aspect with a built-in wardrobe, and a family bathroom. At the front, there is parking for three cars and two barns which have current planning permission to convert into dwellings.

Kitchen/Breakfast Room

The triple aspect farmhouse style kitchen/breakfast room, accessed via a latch and brace door from the entrance hall, has a range of floor and wall mounted units with wooden doors, a one-and-a-half stainless steel sink and drainer, laminate worksurfaces, tiled splashbacks and a tiled floor. There is a slide-in cooker and space and plumbing for a washing machine, a fridge, and a freezer. A solid fuel range is housed in a former brick lined fireplace (the other side of the sitting room inglenook fireplace) and there is ample space for a breakfast table and chairs.

Garden

The gardens wrap around the property at the side and rear, where there is a paved patio beneath the east end wall, which continues as a pathway leading round the property and a half-size brick lean-to shed. The garden is mainly laid to lawn with established flower and shrub beds and borders with a wooden trellis arch and screened fencing with climbers. There is a mature copper beech tree and there are fenced and hedged boundaries.

Barns

The driveway leads past the property onto a hardstanding yard area. Originally agricultural, the timber barns are located around the yard. The gable end of barn one adjoins the rear garden of the property and barns two and three are positioned opposite the property. The over 50 ft. long barns have planning permission to convert into dwellings and plans are available to view at arranged viewings on site.

Situation and Schooling

Dunstable Downs Golf Club is under 3 miles away, there is shopping in Leighton Buzzard (approximately 6 miles) and Milton Keynes Centre (approximately 17 miles). The property is in the catchment areas of the Aylesbury Grammar schools, Cedars and Vandyke secondary schools, and Totternhoe and Edlesborough lower schools.
