2 bed cottage for sale

Silver Street, Great Barford MK44

We are pleased to bring to market this beautifully presented Grade II listed 18th-century thatched cottage, full of charm and character, situated in the highly desirable village of Great Barford. Originally a single residence, the cottage was sympathetically divided into two semi-detached homes approximately 60 years ago.

Offering flexible and versatile living accommodation, this unique home is further complemented by a self-contained annexe located within the attractive rear gardens—perfect for multigenerational living and guest accommodation.

The ground floor of the main house features a spacious and characterful lounge/diner, complete with an impressive inglenook fireplace, exposed beams, and a warm, inviting ambiance. A well-appointed fitted kitchen and a ground floor bathroom complete the layout. Upstairs, the first floor comprises two well-proportioned bedrooms, both retaining period charm.

The external annexe includes its own private entrance and comprises a bedroom, kitchenette, and shower room—ideal for independent living. Adjacent to the annexe is a useful workshop, offering further flexibility for hobbies or storage.

At the rear of the well-maintained garden, you’ll find an insulated summer house, currently used as a home office, offering a peaceful retreat ideal for remote working or creative use.
