3 bedroom house for sale

Overview

Are you searching for somewhere away from it all? Would you love to lead a rural life? Do you still need convenience and connection? This cottage is calling.Built in the 19th century most likely as a dwelling for local farmfolk, the handsome red-brick home sits among lush green, and the colours and contours of the landscape can be seen in all directions. There's paddock and farmland behind, and rolling fields ahead, with picture-perfect panoramas. The current owners first viewed the property at harvest time, their son captivated by the combines, and immediately fell in love with this slice of English countryside.Stagsden is a small, sleepy village, home to fewer than 400 residents and a handful of landmarks, including St Leonard's church, Stagsden village hall, and Hangar Wood ancient woodland. For local produce aplenty, there's Browns farm shop, Hay Lane Flower Farm, and Stagsden Christmas Trees, which has become part of many residents' festivities over the last 30 years.Stagsden is just down the road from Bromham, 10 minutes from Bedford, 15 minutes from Olney, and 20 minutes from Milton Keynes. London can be reached in as little as 41 minutes from Bedford station too. Bromham Primary and Lincroft Academy are each within a short drive. Aside from its situation, also on the long list of advantages is its size, being more spacious than your average three-bedroom semi. All bedrooms are doubles, the master substantial, and there's an en suite shower room along with the family bathroom, both of which are fitted in contemporary white suites with neutral tiling. The front bedrooms benefit from the best views in the house.To the ground floor, the long hallway leads directly from the front door down to the garden, past rooms on either side. To the front of the accommodation is the secluded office, set away from the main living areas, with the cloakroom opposite. And to the right side of the house is the generous lounge, where sunlight can come in through triple aspects, and where you can come to retire after a long day, cosying up together as a family on big, comfy sofas.A comprehensive refurbishment around a decade ago blended the property's characterful origins with modern characteristics, yet successfully retained the farmhouse feel, particularly apparent in the kitchen/dining room. The owners' first port of call when moving in was to install a log burner in the dining area, completing the country aesthetic. The kitchen is fitted in a classic style, with a range of shaker cabinets topped with wood-effect surfaces. There's a ceramic sink and drainer, an integrated oven and hob, fridge and freezer, plus gaps for further appliances. Alongside the formal dining space that seats the whole family, a breakfast bar allows for stool seating, facing the rear window for outlooks over the garden. This is the window the barn owl would peek through when it came to visit, and there's a box on the garage to tempt it back.The gardens are of course ideal for wildlife-watching, but also present opportunity for a host of activities, as well as to extend to the side (stp) without making much dent in the outdoor space on offer. The owners have done amazing work with the thriving vegetable patches, so with meat from Browns, the makings of a Sunday roast are at your fingertips, and you can dine on the deck or patio. We love the wildflowers, as do the bees, and pets are safely enclosed by fencing to the perimeters.Security has been well considered too, with electric gates and CCTV and alarm systems. The gates open onto the extensive gravel driveway, which ends at the detached double garage. An entire fleet of cars can be parked here, with ample capacity for horseboxes, trailers, etc.Coming from farming families, dairy to one side, pigs to the other, the owners have plans for cattle farming ahead, affording you the chance not just to move home, but to change your life.EPC Rating: D For more details and to contact: https://realtyww.info/houses_bedford-d196366/for-sale_i71328038
