4 bedroom detached houseLittle Staughton Road, Pertenhall, Bedford, MK44 2AW

— NO ONWARD CHAIN — South Hoo Cottage is a detached period property, occupying a generous plot in a rural North Bedfordshire setting, which enjoys lovely countryside views from all aspects. 'The Hoo', as it is affectionately known, is a comfortable family home, a quiet place to raise children, but also a great place to work from, with both a fully furnished study and a large separate office space that meets the needs of modern working parents. At the end of the day, when the work is done, the garden is a tranquil place to ‘kick back’ and relax with family and friends in one of the several entertaining areas. The property has been sympathetically renovated to retain many original features that sit well alongside elements of a more contemporary décor, resulting in a home with a blend of old country charm and modern convenience. Among the many features there is; an impressive reception hall, which the current owners used as their dining room for many years, a large bay-fronted lounge with feature fireplace and wood burner, a high quality fitted kitchen with granite worktops and solid oak flooring opening to a breakfast/family area, a study and four generous sized double bedrooms served by a main bathroom and two en-suites. The main bathroom boasts a raised Victorian style claw foot bath, while the master en-suite has twin sinks, bespoke oak cupboards, marble worktop and travertine tiling, with both having wireless controlled rain showers and underfloor heating. The fully enclosed boot room is a great space to ‘lose the shoes’ and clean muddy paws and leads into a large utility with Belfast sink and plenty of room for fridges, washing machine and separate dryer. Solar panels that generate an income of approximately £1250 per annum and have 17 years of FIT remaining are included in the sale price.
