Grove Cottage is one of the oldest houses in Stewkley, believed to date from the 1650s, and bestowed upon the original landowners via deed from Oliver Cromwell. It retains many original features of houses from the 1600s, including exposed timber frame beams and central chimney breast. The vendors retain many historical documents passed to them from vendors prior, which they would of course include with the sale of the property as they bestow custody of Grove Cottage to a new family.

Stewkley is one of Buckinghamshire’s most desirable villages, known for its sense of community, historic charm, and excellent schooling. The village offers local shops, a pub, and a highly regarded primary school. Leighton Buzzard station is a short drive away, offering direct trains to London Euston in under 35 minutes.
