Freehold

Description

We are delighted to present this beautiful CHAIN FREE three-bedroom Grade II listed limestone cottage, set in the heart of the charming North Bedfordshire village of Carlton. Dating back over 350 years, this characterful home was once the village shop and has long been part of the villages story.

Over the years it has been lovingly cared for by a family who have truly made it their home. It has been a place where children have grown up, memories have been created, and every corner of the house and garden has been filled with warmth and life. As the family now move on to their next exciting chapter, they look forward to welcoming new owners who will love and enjoy this special home just as much.

The cottage is rich in charm and character, with beautiful original features including exposed beams, thick stone walls and an impressive inglenook fireplace with a wood-burning stove the perfect place to gather on cosy evenings. The AGA kitchen sits at the heart of the home, creating a warm and inviting space where family and friends naturally come together. The property offers flexible living accommodation, including three lovely double bedrooms, a family bathroom with a free standing bath and separate shower, a study with its own fireplace, and a large living room that was once the village shop, featuring a stunning stained-glass panelled door. This unique space has hosted everything from family gatherings to evenings entertaining friends and can easily adapt to suit the lifestyle of its next owners. The property also has an off road parking space and EV charger.

Outside, the landscaped garden provides a peaceful, sun-filled retreat. French doors open from the kitchen onto a stone terrace perfect for morning coffee or relaxed summer evenings enjoying a BBQ and a cheeky gin and tonic. The lawn offers space for children to play, family garden games, or a peaceful spot for yoga, while the hacienda-style patio gazebo creates the ideal place to unwind with a glass of wine as the sun sets.

Carlton is a wonderful village community, with a village shop and post office selling locally sourced produce, a late-11th-century church, an outstanding primary school and two welcoming pubs. The village also benefits from allotments, a playing field and a village hall that hosts a variety of local events throughout the year. Nearby, Harrold Country Park offers beautiful walks, lakes and a café, while tennis, cricket and other sports facilities can be found close by.

Despite its peaceful rural setting, Carlton is only around a 15-minute drive from Bedford and approximately 30 minutes from Northampton and Milton Keynes, both offering extensive shopping, leisure facilities and fast rail links to London in under 40 minutes.

This is a truly special home one that has been cherished by the same family for many years. It now offers a rare opportunity for someone new to write the next chapter in its long and wonderful story.
