High Street, Broom, SG18

Property Insight
Set within Broom Hall, a handsome Grade II listed country house on the edge of the village of Broom, this first-floor apartment offers characterful one-bedroom living in a setting few flats can match. The hall is approached by a long, sweeping driveway, tucked well back from the main road and wrapped in extensive communal grounds of lawn and mature trees. Inside, the apartment has been wonderfully finished throughout, blending the proportions and period detail of a listed building with a clean, contemporary hand. With one double bedroom, a well-planned layout and no chain above, it makes an appealing first purchase, a lock-up-and-leave, or a considered addition to a rental portfolio.

The living space carries the character of the building. The lounge is a generous, light-filled room with tall proportions, decorative coving and a dado rail, and a large window that draws in the greenery beyond, leaving ample room for both relaxed seating and everyday living. The kitchen and dining room sit together as a practical, sociable space, fitted with white shaker-style units, dark worktops and an integrated oven and hob, with room for a table and everyday appliances. Throughout, the finish is crisp and considered, the sort of interior that needs nothing doing before moving in.

Through to the sleeping quarters, the double bedroom is a calm, well-proportioned room with its own window and a private en-suite, which pairs a freestanding roll-top bath with a traditional pedestal basin and wood-effect flooring. Beyond the apartment, residents enjoy the real draw of Broom Hall: sweeping communal grounds, one allocated parking space, a communal gym & personal storage cage within the buildings basement, a tennis court, and rotary drying lines set out in the gardens. A rare chance to own a characterful home within a listed hall, with grounds and facilities on the doorstep and no onward chain to hold things up.

Location – Broom

Broom is a small, characterful village in Central Bedfordshire, lying just south of the market town of Biggleswade and within easy reach of the A1. It has the settled, rural feel of a true village while keeping the amenities of a larger town only a short drive away, making it a popular choice for those wanting countryside on the doorstep without sacrificing convenience.

At the heart of village life is The Cock at Broom, a well-known and much-loved Grade II listed pub famous for serving its ales straight from the cellar with no bar counter — a genuine local institution. The surrounding countryside offers open walks, bridleways and quiet lanes, while Biggleswade provides the everyday essentials: supermarkets, a retail park with M&S, Next and Boots, independent shops around the High Street and Market Square, the Saxon Pool and Leisure Centre, GP and dental practices, and schools from primary to secondary level.

For commuters, the A1 is close at hand for road travel north and south, and Biggleswade railway station runs direct services to London Kings Cross in around 35 minutes, putting the capital comfortably within reach.
