Description
Martin & Co are delighted to offer for sale this exceptional double-fronted Victorian former farmhouse, occupying approximately 6.5 acres of established grounds and paddocks, together with a detached two-bedroom annexe bungalow and equestrian facilities, all set within a private and picturesque countryside setting on the edge of the highly sought-after village of Sharnbrook.
Approached via electrically operated entrance gates, a magnificent private driveway extending approximately 600ft (200 yards) creates an impressive approach to the property and immediately establishes the sense of exclusivity and grandeur that Vicarage Farm offers.
The handsome Victorian farmhouse is beautifully presented and retains an abundance of character and charm, with attractive elevations, generous proportions and a wealth of period features throughout. The spacious accommodation has been thoughtfully arranged to provide comfortable and versatile family living, comprising four well-proportioned bedrooms, elegant reception rooms and ample space for both day-to-day family life and entertaining on a larger scale.
A particular feature of the property is the detached two-bedroom annexe bungalow, offering excellent flexibility for multi-generational living, dependent relatives, guest accommodation, a home office environment or potential income generation, subject to any necessary permissions.
Externally, the property truly comes into its own. Set within approximately 6.5 acres, the grounds comprise beautifully maintained gardens, paddocks and equestrian facilities, making this an ideal purchase for those seeking an equestrian lifestyle or simply wishing to enjoy the space, privacy and tranquillity afforded by a substantial rural holding. The mature grounds provide a stunning backdrop to the property, with open countryside views and an enviable degree of seclusion.
Despite its wonderfully private countryside setting, Vicarage Farm enjoys excellent accessibility to Bedford, Milton Keynes and key transport links, combining rural tranquillity with modern convenience. The property is also exceptionally well placed to benefit from the substantial investment and infrastructure improvements associated with the forthcoming Universal Studios UK resort, further enhancing the long-term appeal of the wider Bedfordshire area.
The highly regarded village of Sharnbrook offers an excellent range of local amenities, popular public houses, village shops and highly respected schooling, making it one of North Bedfordshire's most desirable villages.
Properties of this calibre, offering a combination of a substantial period residence, detached ancillary accommodation, equestrian facilities and acreage, are rarely available within such a prestigious Bedfordshire village location. An internal viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the accommodation, setting and lifestyle opportunity on offer.
