The Granary, Brook Lane, Bedford, MK45 5EJ

Beautifully Presented Grade II Listed Barn Conversion In Flitton Owner comment: 'We fell in love with our house the moment we saw it, and it has been a happy home for us for 13 years.

In a past life it was a granary, so has a unique charm with its vaulted ceilings and original beams, and is part of a small, friendly community in an idyllic spot with countryside walks from the door.

We have enjoyed creating a diverse and wildlife-friendly cottage garden which is totally private, and has attracted more than 40 bird species visiting from the nature reserve just behind us.

It's time for us to move on to pastures new, but we will miss the comfortable and peaceful life we have had here." This beautifully presented and individually designed Grade II listed barn conversion offers a truly unique opportunity, set within an exclusive development in the highly desirable Mid Bedfordshire village of Flitton.

Tucked away at the end of a peaceful village lane, the property enjoys a wonderful semi-rural setting, with Brook Lane leading directly to the beautiful countryside walks of Flitton Moor Nature Reserve.

Combining an exciting blend of traditional character and contemporary style, this exceptional home retains many of the original features synonymous with a period barn conversion, including exposed beams, vaulted ceilings and a striking galleried landing, whilst offering all the comforts required for modern-day living.

The well-planned accommodation provides generous and versatile living space, with a particularly impressive dual aspect open plan living area creating a light, spacious and welcoming environment.

A useful study area provides the perfect space for home working, whilst the stylish re-fitted kitchen/breakfast room is exceptionally well appointed, featuring extensive Quartz worktops and a range of integrated appliances including a full-height fridge and freezer, dishwasher, mid-height oven and matching combination microwave/oven.

The combination of character features, contemporary finishes and excellent natural light creates a wonderful space for both everyday living and entertaining.

Double glazing is fitted throughout, with underfloor heating to the ground floor complemented by traditional radiators to the first floor.

The impressive galleried landing leads to three well-proportioned double bedrooms.

The principal bedroom benefits from a modern en-suite shower room, whilst the remaining bedrooms are served by a beautifully finished family bathroom.

Throughout the property, the accommodation successfully balances the charm and individuality of its historic origins with modern fittings and finishes, creating a home that is both characterful and practical.

Outside, the property continues to impress with an established and thoughtfully designed private rear garden, which will particularly appeal to enthusiastic gardeners.

High hedgerows provide excellent screening and privacy, while numerous mature flower bed borders, established trees and fruit trees create an attractive and secluded setting.

A raised patio provides an ideal area for alfresco dining and entertaining, while a garden shed with power offers useful storage and workspace.

To the front, parking is well catered for with a double car port, providing sheltered and convenient parking for residents and guests.

Flitton is a charming and highly sought-after Mid Bedfordshire village, surrounded by beautiful countryside and moorland offering an abundance of delightful walking routes, with access directly from Brook Lane.

The village also benefits from a popular public house/restaurant, whilst the village hall and recreation ground are shared with the neighbouring village of Greenfield.
