Three-Bedroom Cottage with Outbuilding, Triple Garage and Secluded Garden in Sharnbrook

Tucked away on Sharnbrook's High Street, this charming cottage conceals a hidden gem of a garden. Behind the unassuming frontage lies a detached outbuilding, detached triple garage, and a large secluded garden with an extensive covered seating area. The main house provides three bedrooms and cosy living spaces, whilst the self-contained outbuilding adds additional space and an office, making this an exceptional opportunity for working from home or for potential annexe use (subject to permissions). With the village centre on the doorstep and a wonderfully welcoming community, this property has proven to be a special family home where lasting memories are made.

Main House - Ground Floor

The sitting room is a welcoming space that sets the tone for the cosy atmosphere found throughout the cottage, offering a comfortable area for everyday relaxation. 

The idyllic kitchen/breakfast room provides a practical hub for family life, with space for casual dining and ample storage. A utility room/pantry adds convenience and additional storage space, while a separate dining room completes the ground floor, offering the perfect space for formal dining or entertaining.

A cellar offers further storage space with potential for development.

Main House - First Floor

The first floor currently comprises three bedrooms, a shower room, and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom is a generous double filled with natural light and benefitting from views of the rear garden and countryside. This bedroom was previous two rooms and could easily be converted back to create a four-bedroom property.

Bedrooms two and three are both well-proportioned doubles with fitted wardrobes/storage. A separate shower room and spacious family bathroom complete the first floor, serving all bedrooms.

Outbuilding

The detached outbuilding offers exceptional versatility, providing three reception rooms, an extensive utility, and a private shower room. The first reception room, currently used an office/study, has proven ideal for home-working, providing a quiet space entirely separate from the main house.

This self-sufficient layout offers the potential for use as an annexe (subject to permissions), making it perfect for guests, teenagers seeking independence, or visiting family members.

Outdoor Living

The garden is truly the star of this property and comes as a delightful surprise when first viewed. Secluded, private, and generous in size, the plot benefits from sunshine throughout the day thanks to its scale and open aspect. A gazebo provides a wonderful focal point currently housing a hot tub, whilst the extensive covered seating area is ideal for relaxation and socialising. The garden's peaceful setting is enhanced by the sound of horses from the adjoining paddock, adding to the rural charm whilst remaining in the heart of the village.

An extensive driveway provides parking for multiple vehicles, leading past the outbuilding to a triple garage offering secure parking and substantial storage space.
