67A High Street, Sharnbrook, MK44

The Stables is a charming detached single-storey home, quietly positioned just off the High Street in the heart of Sharnbrook. Originally built around 1900 and converted into a detached bungalow in 1996, the property offers a highly individual layout with a wealth of character features, including exposed brickwork, vaulted ceilings, visible roof timbers, timber-framed windows and stable-style doors.

Extending to approximately 994 sq ft / 92.3 sq m, the accommodation is arranged across one floor. It includes two bedrooms, a bathroom, a characterful kitchen, a generous sitting room and a conservatory/dining area overlooking the garden. The home sits within an attractive courtyard setting, with gravelled parking, mature planting and a private cottage-style garden that provides a sheltered outdoor seating area.

The property combines a central village position with a tucked-away feel, making it well-suited to buyers looking for character, convenience and manageable single-storey living.

Reception Rooms and Kitchen

The entrance leads into a distinctive kitchen, finished with exposed brickwork, timber cabinetry, wooden work surfaces and a boarded timber floor. The vaulted ceiling with exposed roof timbers adds to the sense of space and character, while a stable-style external door opens directly to the courtyard. There is space for freestanding appliances, including laundry appliances, along with a Belfast-style sink, range-style cooker and useful storage.

From the kitchen, the accommodation flows into the main living space. The sitting room is a particularly appealing feature of the property, measuring approximately 22'10 x 13'5 and enjoying a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and roof timbers.

Full-height glazed doors and windows bring in excellent natural light and open directly to the garden. A brick feature wall and timber detailing reinforce the building’s former stable character, while the proportions of the room provide space for both relaxed seating and display furniture.

Beyond the sitting room is the conservatory/dining area, measuring approximately 13'5 x 12'10. This is a bright and useful additional reception space with glazed doors opening to the garden terrace. It is currently arranged as a dining area and works particularly well as an extension of the main living space, enjoying views across the planted garden and courtyard setting.

Bedrooms

The principal bedroom is a well-proportioned double room of approximately 13'1 x 13' maximum, with a vaulted ceiling, exposed timbers, rooflights and timber-framed window. This room is further enhanced with an ensuite shower room. The second bedroom, measuring approximately 9'10 x 8', also features a vaulted ceiling and exposed roof structure, making it suitable as a guest bedroom, study or hobby room.

The bathroom includes a bath with shower attachment, WC and wash basin, together with timber storage and traditional-style detailing.

Gardens

The Stables is approached via a gravelled courtyard which provides parking and contributes to the property’s private, tucked-away setting. The red-brick elevations, pantile roof and timber doors give the home an immediately attractive appearance, in keeping with its former stable origins.

To the front and side of the property is a delightful cottage-style garden, enclosed by low brick walling and mature planting. The garden includes lawned areas, paved seating terraces, planted borders, roses, lavender, ferns, climbing plants, two sheds and a pergola-style arch. It has been designed to provide colour, privacy and a choice of places to sit outside.

The main reception rooms open directly onto the garden, creating a strong connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces. The garden is manageable in size while still offering a very appealing setting for outdoor dining, potted plants and summer seating.
