Property description
Occupying a beautiful, leafy position close to Ampthill Park this iconic two bedroom Grade II listed detached cottage provides convenient access to an abundance of amenities locally including boutique style shops, eateries and public houses, in addition to highly regarded local schooling as well as providing ideal commuter links into Bedford, Milton Keynes and across to Luton. Having been sympathetically improved and updated it still retains many period features including inglenook fireplaces, exposed brickwork and beamed ceilings and offers well proportioned, bright and airy internal accommodation which currently comprises kitchen, 11ft dining room, as well as a superb 15ft duel aspect living room, whilst to the first floor it benefits from a master bedroom with shower enclosure, second double bedroom and a stylish bathroom with free standing bath. The landing is also large enough, in our opinion, that a third bedroom could be created if necessary. Externally it has a secluded frontage, deceptively generous rear garden which has been immaculately tended with deep well stocked borders and various block paved seating areas, in addition to a detached single timber garage located beyond.
An internal inspection is highly recommended to fully appreciate this fine, rare opportunity.
