New Street, Shefford, SG17 5BW

Although semi-detached, the house connects to its neighbour on just one bedroom and the downstairs bathroom, with the extension being 'self-contained'. This extended semi-detached period cottage, believed to date back to around 1851, offers over 2,200 square feet of well-planned and flexible living space. Ideally located within walking distance of Shefford town centre, the property blends period charm with modern features and boasts a large rear garden—perfect for family life or those working from home.

The entrance hall sets a welcoming tone, with tiled flooring and handy understairs storage. The ground floor includes two separate reception rooms and a spacious kitchen/dining area. The family room at the front features an exposed brick fireplace with a wood-burning stove, while a ground floor shower room adds practicality.

At the heart of the home is the kitchen/dining room, complete with a gas range cooker and large larders. The dining space offers room for an American-style fridge/freezer and flows through to a separate utility room, which includes a WC, an additional larder, and a door leading out to the garden.

To the rear, the bright and airy living room enjoys dual-aspect windows and patio doors opening onto the garden. A second wood-burning stove, set in an exposed brick fireplace, adds warmth and character.

Upstairs, the split-level landing leads to four well-proportioned double bedrooms. The main bedroom features a vaulted ceiling, modern en-suite with ‘P’-shaped bath and shower, and a Velux window for added natural light. The other bedrooms are all a good size and served by a stylish family bathroom.

Outside, the large rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with a generous patio area, ideal for entertaining. There are several useful timber outbuildings, including a workshop, a garden shed, and an open barn—perfect for covered seating or outdoor dining, along with all-day sunshine, a vegetable patch, and access to the front. To the front, a driveway provides parking for multiple vehicles.

A unique character home offering generous living space both inside and out, just a short stroll from Shefford’s shops, schools, and local amenities.
