Two period cottages with a large garden to the rear that benefit from approved consent to enlarge and form one sizeable dwelling and to construct a detached double width garage.

Located within the heart of this well-regarded village that lies approximately 4 miles to the north-west of Bedford, these two period cottages offer an excellent opportunity to improve and enlarge. The smaller of the two, number 16, which is in a very poor condition, has a corrugated tin roof that is to be replaced with a thatched roof, and to the side is a driveway. This is attached to number 14, a pretty double-fronted cottage with a tiled roof.

Both properties are listed, and planning consent and listed building consent has been granted to combine them and add a significant addition to the rear, partly two-storey and partly single-storey. The combined dwelling will offer five reception rooms, four bedrooms and three bathrooms. The driveway at the side is to have a turning area and will lead to a barn-style garage with a wooden beam framework and clad in featheredge boards. This will still leave a sizeable westerly facing garden.
