The Green, Bedford

Believed to date back to around 1800, this charming Grade II Listed cottage, designated as a building of historical interest in 1985, occupies a delightful position overlooking the village green in the highly sought-after village of Clophill. Rich in character and original features, the property has been sympathetically extended over the years, including additions in the 1940s and again in 2008, creating a deceptively spacious family home that seamlessly blends period charm with modern-day practicality.
The accommodation is arranged over two floors and offers three generous double bedrooms, two welcoming reception rooms and a spacious kitchen/dining room, making it perfectly suited to both everyday family living and entertaining.
The front door opens into a delightful living room showcasing an abundance of exposed beams and timbers, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. A feature fireplace with a gas-effect fire forms an attractive focal point, while the generous proportions allow ample space for both seating and dining areas. The well-appointed kitchen/dining room is fitted with an extensive range of storage units and complemented by attractive quarry tiled flooring, providing an ideal space for family meals and social gatherings. Beyond the kitchen is a light-filled rear versatile reception room enjoying pleasant views over the rear garden, together with a convenient ground floor cloakroom/WC.
The first floor continues the property's character with three well-proportioned double bedrooms, two of which benefit from fitted wardrobes and built-in storage cupboards. These are served by an updated family bathroom finished in a contemporary style.
Externally, the property offers off-road parking for up to two vehicles, together with gated side access leading to the beautifully established rear garden. Designed to provide a high degree of privacy, the garden enjoys sunshine throughout the day and features a generous patio, ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining. Mature fruit trees create a wonderful backdrop, while a brick-built outbuilding and a useful Garden room incorporating a utility area add further versatility to this charming outdoor space.
Properties of this character, history and setting rarely become available. Combining period features, generous accommodation and an enviable village green position, this delightful home represents a wonderful opportunity for those seeking a truly special countryside residence. Early viewing is highly recommended.
