Property Highlights
Located on the periphery of the historic and desirable village of Yelden with stunning far-reaching views and countryside walks on your doorstep. The A6 is just a short drive away providing easy access to Bedford, the A45 and Rushden Lakes, and Kimbolton is just over a 10-minute drive, boasting a popular private school.

Fantastic opportunity for a self-build/development opportunity with a vast amount of the hard work already completed and the infrastructure already in place to live on site and start building straight away. There is a two bedroom static caravan, a plant/machinery workshop, part-landscaped gardens, and main services already connected. 

Full planning consent (Planning Ref: 25/01847/FUL on Bedford Borough Council) for remodelling of the current building and extensions to create a wonderful four bedroom detached property measuring approx. 2379.90 sqft / 221.10 sqm. 

The current owner has completed a full Ecological Survey, Great Crested Newt Certificate, Bat Survey, and a FloodSmart Plus Flood Risk Assessment. 

Total plot of approx. 0.40 acres part-landscaped with an enclosed garden by the two bedroom caravan creating a pleasant area to live whilst building the main house. There is a boundary gabion wall half-filled with granite stones to the front, and the back section thoughtfully left to be filled with the hardcore from the demolition of the main house with the view of saving on demolition costs.

Two bedroom static caravan attractively finished with a kitchen, living area, two bedrooms, a shower room and benefitting from gas central heating, mains water, electricity and sewerage. 

Separate Workshop measuring approx. 5m x 5m with electricity and providing secure storage for plant and machinery, or to be used for useful storage. There is a separate bar/kitchenette with a camping WC and an ‘Arctic Cabins’ BBQ Cabin included in the sale.

The enclosed garden has been landscaped to provide an attractive living space for the family with a porcelain tiled patio at the end of the garden providing an excellent entertaining space and easy access to the workshop, bar and BBQ cabin. There is a secure gate down the side of the workshop that leads to the raised platform and bridge that allows access into the wild woodland part of the garden. In addition to this, beyond this there is an allotment area that is rented from the council with peppercorn rent and transferrable to the new owner if required.
