Elm Cottage, Upper Dean

A beautifully extended and meticulously renovated period home, Elm Cottage blends timeless character with contemporary elegance, set in the picturesque village of Upper Dean.

With charming views of the neighbouring church and open meadows, this gorgeous home has been lovingly brought back to life by the current owners. Every detail has been thoughtfully restored, preserving original features while introducing high-quality modern finishes throughout.

Accommodation

The layout has been cleverly reimagined to offer both comfort and style. The reinstated original entrance door opens into a welcoming hallway, leading to three generous double bedrooms. The principal suite is a standout feature, boasting vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, a luxurious en-suite, and patio doors opening directly onto a beautifully landscaped terrace, the perfect spot for a quiet morning coffee. The family bathroom is designed with boutique-hotel flair, featuring a four-piece suite including a freestanding bath, walk-in shower with inset shelving, LED lighting, and a roof light that floods the space with natural light.

Living Spaces

The heart of the home is the kitchen-dining room, a stunning space with a central island topped in Quartz, minimalist cabinetry, and bi-fold doors that connect seamlessly to the garden for a true indoor-outdoor living experience. A practical utility room with a stable door adds charm and convenience. The sitting room is an exceptional addition, designed to maximise light, space, and character. With vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and a wood-burning stove, it combines cosiness with architectural impact. A cantilevered opening creates uninterrupted, pillar-less views of the landscaped garden, making this room truly special.

Outside

The exterior is every bit as impressive as the interior. A generous patio, framed by contemporary slatted fencing, can be accessed from multiple rooms. The garden includes a neat lawn, a paved path to a storage outbuilding, and a stylish garden room currently used as a gym, complete with decking and a hot tub area.

Location

Upper Dean is a quintessential English village with a strong sense of community, offering a primary school, local pub, and small shops for everyday essentials. Nearby Kimbolton and Bedford provide a wider range of shopping, dining, and leisure facilities.
