About this listing

A Charming Thatched Cottage Set Within Grounds Approaching One Acre A truly exceptional detached cottage that offers far more than first meets the eye, combining charming period features, beautifully presented accommodation and stunning private gardens. Dating back to 1934, this impressive and thoughtfully extended home occupies an enviable position, sitting centrally within its generous plot approaching one acre, set behind its electric gated entrance. Lovingly maintained and improved by the current owners, including a recently replaced thatched roof, the property effortlessly blends traditional character with spacious, versatile modern living. The beautifully presented accommodation is both substantial and flexible, featuring a dual-aspect lounge, an oversized dining room, study, playroom, refitted kitchen/diner opening directly onto the rear garden, a dual-aspect breakfast room, utility room and two ground-floor cloakrooms. Upstairs, four generous double bedrooms are complemented by two en-suite bathrooms, with the added benefit of generous ceiling heights, something rarely associated with a character cottage of this style. The current owners of the property have thoughtfully incorporated the previously fifth bedroom into a substantial dressing room which in addition to the tasteful four-piece en-suite, completes the luxurious master suite. For those seeking multigenerational living, the property's flexible layout also offers exciting potential to create a fully independent annexe, subject to any necessary consents. Outside is equally impressive. The beautifully maintained, private gardens provide a wonderful setting for relaxing, entertaining and enjoying outdoor living, complete with an outdoor kitchen and dedicated allotment area. A double garage, additional carport and ample grounds further enhance the appeal. Character features are found throughout, including exposed beams, exposed brickwork and traditional latch doors, while the property also benefits from not being listed. Occupying a delightful position on the edge of the village, this substantial and character-filled family home offers a rare combination of space, privacy and versatility. Studham is one of Bedfordshire’s most sought-after villages, nestled on the edge of the Chiltern Hills National Landscape and renowned for its charming character, active community and beautiful surrounding countryside. Local amenities include a well-regarded primary school, village hall, church, the popular tennis and pickleball club, cricket club, and two local pubs. Miles of scenic footpaths and bridleways are close at hand, while Whipsnade Zoo, the London Gliding Club and several golf clubs are just a short drive away. Excellent road links, the M1 and nearby mainline railway stations provide convenient access to surrounding towns and London, making Studham an ideal setting for families and commuters alike. A home that really must be viewed to appreciate the space, setting and lifestyle on offer.
