Cedar Cottage, Middlefield Lane, Henlow, SG16 6

A rare opportunity to secure an exceptional country residence in the heart of Henlow, Cedar Cottage is a striking five-bedroom, four-bathroom detached home offering over 2,795 sq ft of elegant and versatile living space. Set within a generous half-acre plot, it combines timeless charm with modern functionality, ideal for a growing family or those seeking a lifestyle upgrade in one of Bedfordshire’s most desirable villages.
From the moment you arrive through the private gated entrance, the home impresses with its sweeping wraparound garden, elevated countryside views, and a sense of privacy and scale rarely found. Yet, despite its rural feel, the location offers excellent transport links. Arlesey station is just minutes away, providing fast connections to London St Pancras, and both the A1(M) and M1 are within easy reach.
Inside, the home flows beautifully. The welcoming entrance hall leads to a series of spacious reception rooms — including a main lounge with a bay window, open fireplace, and French doors opening to a bespoke bar, perfect for entertaining. A versatile dining room can serve as a fifth bedroom or playroom, and a cosy family room adds flexibility for day-to-day living.
At the heart of the home is a 31-foot open-plan kitchen/diner complete with premium integrated appliances, generous storage, and dedicated breakfast space creating a warm, social hub for both everyday use and larger gatherings.
Upstairs, four generously sized double bedrooms await, each filled with natural light. The principal suite is particularly impressive, featuring an en-suite, dressing room, and dual-aspect countryside views.
The grounds are equally special, a charming courtyard garden lies off the kitchen, while the rear includes a secluded vegetable patch and a fully powered home office with decking overlooking open fields. A series of substantial outbuildings including a barn, garage, utility store and
various storerooms offer potential for business use, further accommodation, or creative redevelopment (STPP).
