Mill Road, Stanford, SG18

Period home set on over a third of an acre with open fields to the rear and sides.

Located in a peaceful hamlet amidst the rolling Bedfordshire countryside, this residence is a short drive to Biggleswade, a bustling market town with excellent rail services into London. A generous sitting room occupies the heart of this splendid home, showcasing exposed beams and a charming inglenook fireplace with a wood-burning stove—an ideal space for cosy evenings. The dual-aspect kitchen, featuring exposed brick and a quarry tile floor, opens to a dining room that seamlessly flows into a conservatory, providing the flexibility of both open-plan living and separate rooms—perfect for entertaining. A large utility complements the kitchen. The three bedrooms, one with a walk-in wardrobe, are well-served by a bathroom with a bath and separate shower.

The gardens are a particularly wonderful feature of the home, stretching around the property and facing northeast. Well-stocked borders and lawned paths run alongside a patio. Additionally, there is an established kitchen garden, which has a greenhouse, potting shed and garden shed. The property also benefits from a double garage, and a workshop with an adjoining log store.
