Shortmead Street, Biggleswade, SG18

* BACK TO MARKET UNEXPECTEDLY * Once a basket weavers cottage, parts of this beautiful character property date back over two hundred years. Now, having been significantly extended and modernised, the property is accessed via private gates and set back from the main road, this property is well and truly tucked away, offering you privacy but still within a five-minute walk of the town and train station. The property offers just over 3000 SqFt of accommodation with detached workshop/storage outbuilding which has the potential to be a detached one-bedroom annex (subject to planning permission).

Step Inside:

This charming detached family home confidently combines its character features with modern finishes creating an idyllic combination for those searching for a truly unique property.
As you enter the property you are greeted with an entrance hall with doors leading to the laundry room and separate snug.
The current owners have now combined what was once two separate rooms to create a stunning shaker style kitchen with central island and bi-folding doors overlooking the garden. The separate dining room provides a great space to entertain with attractive panelled doors overlooking the garden and feature log burner. The living room combined with the orangery creates a vast 28’ room flooded with natural light.

Step Inside Continued:

The basement is fully tanked and currently used as a play room and provides access to the boiler. On the first floor are three large double bedrooms, one with en-suite, and currently one dressing room. The family bathroom benefits from twin basins, a double ended bath and walk in shower.

Step Outside:

Sheltered by private gates and a sweeping driveway, the property is very much shielded from the main road. The garden offers a peaceful and secluded space to relax and entertain with pergola and patio areas for outdoor furniture. Storage shed with power will remain.

What is currently a workshop/storage area could be used as an additional office, business premises or separate dwelling (subject to local planning permissions). The car port provides sheltered parking whilst the drive can host up to four other vehicles.
