Description

Press Option 1 for Sales, then Option 2 for the Bedford Office

A charming Grade II listed 18th century thatched cottage, nestled at the far end of a picturesque row of six similar homes, sits within the heart of the conservation area in the delightful North Bedfordshire village of Bletsoe. This beautifully maintained two bedroom property exudes character and period charm, with thoughtful updates that remain in keeping with its heritage. The cottage benefits from a larger than average garden, with a driveway that leads behind the row to a spacious timber garage and workshop, presenting potential for future projects. Just a few steps away, open countryside invites peaceful walks and stunning views.

The home has been sympathetically restored using reclaimed materials, ensuring an authentic feel throughout. Stepping inside, you are welcomed by the warmth of solid wood flooring, while a former coal store has been transformed into a practical home workspace. Original features remain intact, including the exquisite hung ceilings in the bedrooms and exposed wall timbers that tell the story of the cottage's rich history. The sash windows frame a delightful outlook over the front garden, where a small pond, blossoming apple, pear, and cherry trees reside.

Modern comforts blend seamlessly with period details, including gas-fired central heating via a Vaillant combi boiler and a recently installed consumer unit. The thatched roof was re-done in 2015, ensuring longevity and preserving the cottage's traditional character. With its idyllic setting, unique charm, and scope for further possibilities, this enchanting home offers an exceptional opportunity to embrace village life in a truly special setting.
