House For Sale £1,950,000
Bolnhurst family home with detached annexes, office space and much more besides
Few modern homes offer the perfect solution for multigenerational living. Greenacres in the beautiful North Bedfordshire Wolds most certainly does – as well as scope for running a business and other uses limited only by your imagination and any planning constraints. Not one but two detached annexes, together with the 4500 square feet, red brick and ‘slate’ tiled main home, where a guest bedroom is downstairs and a stunning staircase leads to six others, two of which are served by a super stone balcony looking over fields towards the glorious ancient church of St Dunstan. With extensive garaging, gravelled parking, and gardens with entertainment room, timber hot tub shelter and lily pond, Greenacres provides the best of both indoor and outdoor living.
A couple of hundred yards away from the horseshoe, gravelled drive of your new home is the Plough at Bolnhurst, said by many to be Bedfordshire’s finest pub and restaurant. Quite some local! And quite some golf course just around the corner in Colmworth. Bolnhurst is walking country par excellence, yet you’re just 7.5 miles from the county town, its fast trains to London and elsewhere, and its world-renowned Harpur Trust private schools. St Neots is just 12 miles away. A choice of farm shops is within 4 miles. Greenacres is a special home in a super spot.
About the property
Sit down for Christmas lunch, the tree bedecked with silvery shimmers reaching towards the glass chandelier hanging between modern artworks; relax on the sofas; greet guests with champagne as they arrive for your annual house party. And all this in the reception hall, gas flames from the stone fire bowl dancing around its granite surround, the breathtaking black granite and silver metal staircase demanding an appreciation for the complexity of its design and construction. An impressive welcome indeed.
Heated, metre-square quartz slabs lead you through the ground floor of your new home, another fire bowl between capacious sitting and dining rooms, oozing the style and luxury apparent at every turn. Beautiful working surfaces atop gloss kitchen furniture match the floor. Utility furniture matches the kitchen. Range-cooked meals, wine plucked from the cooler, can be served in the kitchen, dining room, or reception hall, each with space for relaxing too. More than enough space for the largest of families to come together, without ever getting under each other’s feet. You can even escape to your own private study, with its lovely square bay mirroring the one in the sitting room, where you can unwind and watch the world go by.
Guests may take their pick of bedrooms – downstairs, with massage jets in their shower, or the suite upstairs, with super freestanding bath and separate wet room-style shower. Your bedroom suite has a similarly stylish bath, his & hers basins and separate shower. But it has a balcony too. What a balcony! – fling open French doors to wonderful views, the perfect place for a nightcap or morning coffee. You might just forget that this is your home and not a five-star country hotel. Bedrooms galore, top floor rooms full of character, a retreat for teenagers, perhaps. Superb!
Few homes are so perfect for entertaining all year round. Two sets of French doors open the kitchen and dining room to the stone terrace, a choice of outdoor sitting and eating areas surrounding the circular lawn, the beautiful lily pond, with its figured fountain centrepiece, just delightful. As befits the house, the hot tub is not just any hot tub; it has massage jets, music system, and sits in its own wood and ‘slate’ shelter. And the garden room is waiting for you to decide how you wish to use it – though it would make an ideal bar and family games room. The outlook from this perfectly private, peaceful garden? – Fields as far as you can see, sometimes of golden wheat, at others with flocks of sheep and frolicking lambs.
How lovely to share this garden with your parents, two sets of French doors opening from the annexe bungalow onto the terrace, everything they need inside, including two bedrooms, dining room and open-plan, air-conditioned, sitting room and kitchen, with induction hob, ovens and steaming hot tap.
Children can kick a ball around on the other, main lawn, overseen by lovely young and more mature, bird-filled trees, hidden sitting areas, places to build a den, an exciting playground for the young adventurer. And the second annexe looks out over here, along with the finest garage you may have come across, and a delightful old barn, the sole survivor of the days when farm cottages once stood where the main house is now.
Only you can know what you would like to do with the fabulous second annexe. Larger than the bungalow and currently used as a home office and leisure complex, the rooms at each end mirror each other, with shower room and separate phone line and internet connectivity, and French doors from the two largest rooms opening to gravelled outdoor sitting areas.
Much about Greenacres offers flexibility of use, but one thing’s for sure, this super property is looking forward to providing you with the ultimate in family living.
