An exceptional three bedroom extended cottage combining 1360 sq.ft. of characterful charm and modern finishes and a private south facing garden, nestled in the picturesque Bedfordshire village of Studham.
A picture of timeless beauty, this exquisite Brownlow cottage built in 1864 welcomes you through its charming entrance, where every detail whispers of character, history, and craftsmanship.
To the left of the inviting entrance, the living room offers a warm embrace, anchored by a striking brick fireplace and a wood-burning stove — a room designed for quiet winter evenings or lively gatherings, bathed in soft natural light from the large feature windows.
Beyond, the flow of the home meanders gently into the dining room — a beautifully proportioned space that evokes both intimacy and grandeur. Perfectly placed at the heart of the home, this versatile room invites family dining, elegant entertaining, or quiet study, framed by period features that lend a timeless air.
The soul of the home reveals itself in the breathtaking kitchen/breakfast room beyond. A flawless marriage of traditional design and modern comfort, the kitchen boasts elegant cream shaker cabinetry, space for a commanding range cooker, and underfloor heating beneath polished flooring. A natural gathering place, the kitchen extends into the garden room — a stunning vaulted space flooded with natural light from skylights above and framed by a wall of French doors that peel back to reveal the tranquil gardens beyond.
Outside, the south-facing garden is an enchanting tapestry of manicured lawns, colourful herbaceous borders, and a generous stone terrace — the perfect stage for outdoor dining, summer soirées, or peaceful morning coffees amidst birdsong. Mature planting provides privacy and a sense of seclusion rarely found, while a charming timber shed adds a practical yet picturesque touch. A meandering pathway leads you through this verdant retreat, drawing the eye towards a secret seating area at the garden’s far end - a magical, tucked-away spot providing an atmospheric setting for quiet moments or entertaining by firelight.
Back inside, a discreet ground-floor cloakroom off the entrance hall ensures practicality remains woven subtly through the refined flow of the living spaces.
Ascend the staircase to the first floor where a spacious landing leads to three inviting bedrooms, each brimming with natural light and offering charming views across the gardens or countryside surroundings. The master bedroom is particularly generous, promising a peaceful sanctuary at the close of day, while two further bedrooms offer versatile accommodation for family, guests, or the creation of a tranquil home office.
A beautifully appointed shower room completes the first floor, offering an indulgent space finished to an exceptional standard, with contemporary touches that complement the heritage feel of the home.
