Period home set on over a third of an acre with open fields to the rear and sides.

Located in a peaceful hamlet amidst the rolling Bedfordshire countryside, this residence is a short drive to Biggleswade, a bustling market town with excellent rail services into London.

A large utility complements the kitchen. The three bedrooms, one with a walk-in wardrobe, are well-served by a bathroom with a bath and separate shower.

The gardens are a particularly wonderful feature of the home, stretching around the property and facing northeast. Well-stocked borders and lawned paths run alongside a patio.
