Charming 4-Bedroom Countryside Cottage with Equestrian Facilities

Set along a quiet, no-through lane in the sought-after rural area of Bourne End, Cranfield, this characterful 4-bedroom detached cottage dates back to circa 1850. Originally two farmworkers cottages, its now thoughtfully combined into one charming family home sat within a generous 2.4 acre plot (STS). The property offers an array of equestrian facilities, including six stables, a menage, paddocks, and extensive outbuildings, making it the perfect opportunity for family life in the countryside with space for horses, home-working, or running a business.

Character Features & Versatile Living Spaces

Ground Floor

The home welcomes you into a large entrance hall leading directly to the downstairs living spaces. The classic kitchen features integrated appliances, stainless steel cutting boards, ample storage, and space for casual dining with a breakfast bar. It also provides access to a boarded loft space, useful for further storage. A spacious sitting room offers a warm, characterful space to relax, with an original brick fireplace (now housing a wood-burning stove) and plenty of space for seating and even a dining table.

A light-filled conservatory overlooks the colourful garden, offering a bright and versatile room thats ideal as an additional living space, separate dining room, or space to work from home.

The ground floor is completed by a family bathroom - a relaxing space finished to a high standard with a roll-top bath.

First Floor

Upstairs, the principal bedroom enjoys views over the rear garden and surrounding countryside, while three further bedrooms provide flexible accommodation for family and guests. The fourth bedroom would also make an excellent home office space or dressing room, benefitting from its own en-suite shower room and built-in storage.

Equestrian & Outdoor Living

The property excels in its outdoor offerings, with scenic countryside views, outbuildings, and extensive equestrian facilities, including:

  • Six stables and a tack room, set within a large yard area, perfect for those with horses.

  • Two additional barns, including a home gym which could be used for a workspace and polebarn which is currently used for outdoor living and hosting events.

  • Two paddocks and menage, both fully fenced and ready for use.

  • An outdoor WC, perfect for added convenience when hosting events or working outside.

  • Further outbuildings, including a large garage/workshop, field shelter, and storage shed.

The outdoor living/events barn is a particular highlight - a large, flexible space used by the current owners for parties and gatherings. The neighbouring gym barn has been fully insulated and provides an excellent space that could easily be converted into an office space or workshop. These expansive, versatile outbuildings offer a rare opportunity for running a business from home, with plenty of potential for conversion into residential annexes or commercial workshops.

The paddocks and garden are the perfect spot to enjoy the countryside lifestyle all year round, with an array of wildlife regularly visiting the property.

Parking & Security

A gated driveway to the front of the property accommodates around eight vehicles, with further space available in the gravel-top yard, accessed by a separate entrance with heavy-duty gates and capable of accommodating an additional ten cars - ideal for visitors or events. Security features include electric gates, a house alarm, and CCTV with monitor unit, offering peace of mind for both the home and the equestrian facilities.
