We just love this gorgeous grade II listed cottage in Riseley which is filled with character features and boasts two lovely log burners in the reception rooms, perfect for those cosy winter nights.
This is everything you imagine when you hear the word âcottage'. Cute nooks and crannies, exposed beams and beautiful floor tiles⦠but you wouldn't believe the double story extension to the rear is less than 50 years old! This beautiful home has the best of both worlds - spacious rooms and modern luxuries such as two bathrooms and a separate WC, decent head height in most areas, and yet the place oozes country character.
Downstairs, the property enjoys two reception rooms; a cosy lounge and a great dining room, both with log burners. The generous kitchen/ diner and separate utility space are located to the rear of the property in the extension, and have been updated and finished to a high standard.
Upstairs, there are two spacious double bedrooms, a single bedroom and a fourth room that would make a lovely nursery, walk in wardrobe or work from home office space. There is also a spacious landing which could double up as a work space or reading nook, a family bathroom, and an additional wet room.
The view from every window offers a leafy outlook or glimpses of other gorgeous character homes along the High Street. Outside, the enclosed garden boasts a very private patio area and plenty of space to potter in the upper garden. Additionally, the property comes with a garage and further garden space to the front.
Riseley is a popular village in north Bedfordshire which is well connected by the A6 to Bedford where you can catch fast trains into London, or enjoy the shops and eateries on offer.
The village itself has a thriving community and good local amenities including a local shop, pub, cafe, garage, and gym. Riseley C of E Primary School has a good Ofsted rating and the property also sits within catchment of the sought after Sharnbrook Academy. The surrounding countryside also offers a wealth of footpaths and bridleways to explore.
