Welcome to Mossbury Manor – a truly unique country home that embodies the rich heritage and timeless character of rural Bedfordshire.

Nestled at the end of a 200-metre private driveway , this imposing five-bedroom detached farmhouse is set within 3.49 acres of picturesque land, offering both privacy and exceptional potential for country living, including equestrian use .

This Grade II listed manor dates back to the 17th century , with origins as a manor traced to the Domesday Book of 1086 under the overlordship of the Bishop of Lincoln.

Historically referred to as Mossbury alias Sarnes , the manor has been held by a sequence of notable families, including the de Carun, de Loring, Morice, Fulthorpe, Woolascote, and Saunderson families – each leaving their own mark on its rich legacy.

Inside, the home offers approximately 3,000 sq ft of beautifully preserved accommodation spread over three floors.

Period features abound, including exposed timber beams , original brickwork , and two impressive Inglenook fireplaces —perfect for cosy evenings by the fire.

The property also boasts a rare private well , a striking reminder of its self-sufficient past.

With five generous bedrooms and three well-appointed bathrooms , including an en suite to the principal suite, Mossbury Manor blends character with comfort.

Multiple reception rooms offer ideal spaces for both entertaining and everyday family life.

Outside, the manor is complemented by an extensive range of barns and outbuildings exceeding 7,000 sq ft , providing huge potential for conversion (STP), storage, workshop use, or stabling.

The land is primarily laid to grassed garden with a range of well established trees.

Despite its rural position, Mossbury Manor is exceptionally well connected—located just 3.3 miles from Sandy Railway Station , offering fast, direct services to London King’s Cross in under an hour.

The A1 is just over a mile away.
