KEY FEATURESStanding within grounds of around 2 acres and with open countryside to front and rear Carlton House presents a distinctive and elegant family home to the discerning purchaser.

The property consists of a substantially reconfigured detached dwelling measured over 4,000 square feet whilst in addition there is a large detached garage/office complex of 2,406 square feet. Having such an extensive office area on site is a very unique selling point and would provide the ideal opportunity for those wishing to operate their business from home or otherwise utilise the space available as a storage facility of some considerable proportion.

The interior of the dwelling is quite contemporary in design and an open plan theme is distinctly evident. .A tiled hallway gives access to the principal rooms on the ground floor one of which is the oak floored sitting room which is generously proportioned with a warming open fireplace and double doors opening to the rear of the property.

There are two further reception rooms currently used as family and dining rooms which both overlook the front elevation.

The kitchen/breakfast room is a delight to behold and has been completely refitted having a large array of quality light walnut fronted units and a central island both with granite worktops.

The first floor accommodation is distinguished by a large master bedroom which allows access to a delightful balcony area which can accommodate a table and chairs, ideal for taking early morning tea or a sleep inducing nightcap. The remaining four bedrooms have use of two bath/shower rooms and a sixth bedroom has been converted from the loft space.


SELLER INSIGHT We were looking for a property with plenty of outside space where our children could safely play and explore. Carlton House

is surrounded by 2 acres of land and it was perfect for us as it offered the country lifestyle we were looking for and it was still close enough to local amenities and schools in Bedford,” recall the current owners.

“We have made a number of enhancements to Carlton House, including reconfiguring the rooms so that our bedrooms are all on the same floor. Perhaps the biggest change though has been the addition of the outbuilding which we have used as offices and extra storage space. Our children have particularly loved the soundproof room where they can practice their drums and electric guitars! It’s a versatile space that could also be used as a family annexe and it’s made a huge difference to us as we’ve been able to run our business from home and still be here for our children.”

“The location has been fabulous too. It’s a very picturesque area and there are plenty of scenic walks to enjoy around the village. The local pub is within walking distance and the village hall is always very busy. Our children have all worked at the nearby family-run farm shop and it’s just a short drive into Bedford which has a good choice of shops and restaurants, as well as some lovely parks and the beautiful embankment.”

“Carlton House comes with a lot of land that is perfect for family gatherings, including sports days and wedding celebrations, along with 18th and 50th birthday parties. It’s also very peaceful and we enjoy relaxing in the hot tub area and in the gazebo, which is fully equipped with lighting and heating. We love watching the muntjac deer and the family of pheasants who stroll around without a care in the world. It’s amazing to wake up to the sound of our very own morning chorus in the summer and we will certainly miss that.”

“We all tend to congregate in the kitchen during the day before heading into the lounge in the evening where we can relax in front of the open fire whilst reading a book or watching tv. There’s plenty of room for us to be together or to go off and do our own thing, it’s a great house for a family. We will miss the space both inside and out, as well as the peace and quiet. It has been an idyllic setting for our children to grow up in and we hope that another family will be as happy here as we have been,” conclude the current owners.
