House For Sale £750,000
Village home with detached annexe
A 4/5-bedroom detached family home with a difference. Approached past a graceful weeping willow arching over a peaceful green in the popular North Bedfordshire village of Milton Ernest, the property stands at the end of the lane overlooking fields and boasts a detached annexe; a self-contained studio flat sits above garaging, part or all of which could be similarly developed to provide holiday lets, perhaps, or offices from which to run your business - or, simply, accommodation for an extended family. Make no mistake, although you could happily move in here tomorrow, there’s plenty that you may wish to do to put your stamp on the property - but with just short of 2000 sq. Ft. In the main house, and over 1000 sq. Ft. In the annexe, with large garden and ample driveway parking, it affords plenty of exciting possibilities.
Milton Ernest lies on the east side of the River Great Ouse, some 5 miles from the County Town and all its amenities, the highly thought-of Harpur Trust private schools and fast trains to London and elsewhere. Cambridge is only 30 miles, Milton Keynes just 20. The award-winning village primary school, which feeds the sought-after Academy school in nearby Sharnbrook, is just across from the lane, as is the magnificent 12th century Church of All Saints. The 17th century country inn and the popular garden centre, which is also home to a number of independent shops, a post office and coffee shop, are a short stroll away. What could be better than to have all this on your doorstep, along with miles of super walks in beautiful countryside?
About the property
An exotic palm and a beautiful silver birch grow happily together in the front garden, welcoming you to a home where a family can grow happily together too such is the space inside and outside, and the quiet, peaceful spot in which it lies.
As soon as you step through the deep porch into the huge hall, which reaches up to a large galleried landing, it’s immediately apparent that no-one will be under each other’s feet here. Light streaming through large windows, which also provide a super outlook over gardens and fields, adds to a palpable feeling of space.
In the unlikely event you need more room in the main house, take a look in the loft and consider the possibilities that open up. If you need a downstairs bedroom to add to the four upstairs, maybe for an elderly relative, the existing family room/study is ideally situated adjacent to a shower room.
Bifold or French doors open to well-stocked gardens not only from the kitchen/breakfast room, but from the dining and sitting rooms too - lovely in summertime, excellent for entertaining. But draw the curtains in winter and come home to logs ablaze in the woodburner. How cosy!
All this and a separate annexe building which could offer a welcome change in lifestyle. A new chapter beckons. How exciting!
