Overview

6 Bedroom House for sale in Office Cottages, Lidlington, Bedfordshire, MK43

Located in a semi-rural position and with open agricultural views is a four bedroom cottage dating back to 1865, which has been thoughtfully renovated and updated and also offers a detached two bedroom annex with income potential. The home is situated on the fringes of the Mid-Bedfordshire village of Lidlington which is accessible to major road and rail links. Internal features include solid oak doors throughout and period features to include stained glass doors and exposed brickwork.

Approach to the home is via electric gates which has a key-pad entry and fob for convenience. The driveway is block paved and provides ample off road parking. The cottage is double fronted and has a central pitched roof porch which leads into a reception hallway. Additional access is provided via the conservatory which sits to the side and adjoins the kitchen breakfast room.

The conservatory is a use-able area and comfortably houses a dining table, the roof has been recently replaced and insulated along with 'Velux' windows and the flooring is laid with a herringbone engineered oak. Internal bi-folding doors lead through to the kitchen which has a range of oak fitted wall and base level cabinetry which are covered over with a granite worktop. There is a central island unit with a solid oak worktop which also incorporates a breakfast bar, as well as a free-standing 'Stoves' induction range cooker with three ovens, a grill and warming drawer. Further features include an integrated dishwasher, wine rack, a modern wall mounted radiator, recess ceiling spotlights and bespoke cabinet downlighting. Off the kitchen is a separate utility room with additional sink/drainer, storage and space for a washing machine and tumble drier. An internal door from the kitchen leads into a traditional entrance hallway which has access into a cloakroom which is fitted with a storage cupboard, low level w/c, a heated towel rail and a wall mounted wash hand basin. There is a feature glass wall with original oak inserts and views along with access into the living room.

This area is dual aspect and has a feature fireplace which houses a cast iron wood burning stove which sits on a brick hearth and surround with a timber mantle. There is also an exposed brick chimney breast and traditional cast iron radiator. A modern composite door leads out to an external decking and seating area to the side of the property. Off the entrance hall is a half-turn staircase rising to the first floor accommodation. There is also a two-way telephone entry system for the electronic gates.

The landing on the first floor has a window to the side aspect of the home, a loft hatch and a large airing cupboard with shelving. The principal bedroom is dual aspect and has a vaulted ceiling with attractive views over the prevailing gardens and agricultural fields beyond. The second bedroom has the convenience of an en-suite wet-room which has an open double width cubicle, a pedestal wash hand basin and low level w/c. There are recessed ceiling spotlights and a heated ladder towel rail. There are two further bedrooms on this level which are both of double proportions and have outstanding open views. Also on this level is the re-fitted and contemporary bathroom featuring an oval shaped bath, a 1 1/2 width shower cubicle, low level w/c, a vanity unit with wash hand basin and separate mirrored vanity unit with lighting.

The annex which is situated separately from the main dwelling is of a brick built construction which has pitched tiled roof. Glazed French doors form the main entrance and there are full height windows either side of the dwelling allowing a natural light flow. The ground floor measures an impressive 31 x 18 ft and has an open-plan arrangement which is configured by a living/family area, games zone and fitted bar and entertaining space. There is also the convenience of cloakroom fitted with white sanitary ware. A staircase with pine balustrade rises up to the first floor which houses two double bedrooms which are serviced by a fitted shower-room. This area is fitted with a travertine tile to both the walls and flooring, there is a corner shower cubicle, 'Velux' window, a pedestal wash hand basin and low level w/c. This level has splendid views over fields to the side. In our opinion this separate ancillary accommodation could be let out generating an attractive return on investment.

The extensive and well tended gardens are south/westerly facing and provide 180 degree open views of rolling Bedfordshire countryside. A large hedged boundary to the front provides a good degree of privacy, there are a number of mature planted shrubs to include a silver birch, palm a cherry blossom as well as a pear and apple tree. The main is formed predominately by lawns and there is a raised decking and seating area with attractive views to the field at the side.

The village itself offers a rail service to both Bedford and Bletchley. Major road links are from M1, J13 which is less than ten minutes drive from the property. Local amenities include a convenience store, public house/eateries and sports clubs and facilities.

(c) Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date.
