Church End, Steppingley, Bedfordshire, MK45 5AU

This rarely available cottage occupies a delightful position within the picturesque village of Steppingley, close to the village church and surrounded by open countryside.

Set on a deceptively generous plot, it offers well proportioned accommodation throughout and now presents an exciting opportunity for a purchaser to update and modernise to their own taste.

Approach to the property is via a driveway providing off road parking for two vehicles.

A picket fence and gate lead to the front door, opening into a welcoming entrance hall with a staircase rising to the first floor.

To the left is the principal reception room, a triple aspect living room centred around an attractive fireplace, with an abundance of natural light enhancing the space.

Beyond here is an L-shaped open plan kitchen/dining room, fitted with a range of floor and wall mounted units and offering space for various freestanding appliances.

The dining area comfortably accommodates a table and chairs, creating an ideal setting for family meals and entertaining. The first-floor landing provides access to all three bedrooms.

The principal bedroom enjoys a rear aspect, while the remaining bedrooms overlook the front and side elevations respectively.

They are served by a family bathroom comprising a panelled bath, low level WC and wash hand basin. The gardens are a particular feature of the property.

A substantial garden extends along the side and rear of the cottage, being laid predominantly to lawn and complemented by an array of mature plants, shrubs, bushes and a specimen tree.

Across the access road, beyond the driveway, is a further generous area of garden, again mainly laid to lawn and benefitting from several outbuildings, which could be updated for a variety of uses.

Steppingley itself is an exclusive, sought after village nestled within Central Bedfordshire and incorporates a number of amenities locally including a restaurant, public house by way of the highly regarded French Horn, church and cricket club, whilst an abundance of walks and nature trails are dotted around the village boundary.

It is also ideally positioned commuter wise for the M1 and Thameslink to London which runs at approximately 45 minutes into St Pancras from Flitwick station which is circa 2 miles away.
