Totternhoe Road, Eaton Bray, Central Bedfordshire, LU6

Sat within beautiful grounds sat behind electric gates, this iconic Grade II listed, 16th-century, five-bedroom detached cottage is hidden away, perfectly blending historic style and character with modern living accommodation, maintained to the highest standards. Known as 'The Old House,' formerly 'Old Timbers,' this home exudes charm with an abundance of wooden beams, fireplaces, exposed brickwork, drop latch doors, and stunning solid Oak front door, internal panelling and canopy originally from Eaton Bray Manor. The property has been extended to incorporate barns seamlessly, offering traditional cottage space alongside vast modern living areas. Downstairs, the snug, sitting room, and breakfast room provide quiet spaces, complemented by a utility room with a Butler sink and a downstairs W.C. The kitchen features quality hand-crafted bespoke units, a four-oven gas-fired Aga, a double Butler sink, and a granite-topped island, blending traditional and modern styles. Additional features in this fantastic room include a built-in window seat, built in wine rack and display cabinets. From the kitchen, the space continues into the hugely impressive converted barn, now a spectacular 37 ft vaulted lounge with oak flooring, over sized log burner and fireplace, skylights, and patio doors leading to the sun terrace. The older part of the property offers five well-balanced double bedrooms, a full four-piece family bathroom, and a beautifully fitted shower room. The gardens at 'The Old House' are nothing short of incredible, measuring approximately 1.4 acres and offering incredible privacy, backing onto farmland. The beautifully maintained gardens are a testament to the dedication and effort of the current owners. Directly behind the property is the sun terrace surrounding the recently upgraded heated swimming pool offering a splash of luxury, perfect for socialising with a heated breeze house. Further to the breeze house is a fully fitted summerhouse, ideal for an outside bar or home office. The rest of the garden enjoys a manicured lawns, mature beds, and an array of mature trees, including Silver birch, willow, and a selection of apple trees currently used to create 'Old House cider.'
