Middletons are delighted to present 'The White House', an attractive and spacious 18th century grade 2 listed double fronted farmhouse with 4 bedrooms and 3 reception rooms set in around 1/5th of an acre (subject to survey) of mature gardens in a quiet lane behind the historic 15th century St John The Baptist church, in the most desirable part of this popular Bedfordshire village.

A much loved family home in the same hands for the last 30 years, The White House is now ready for the next stage in its 200 year plus history. Considering its age and charm all rooms are of a good size and ceiling heights are more than comfortable and there is plenty of scope for new owners to stamp their mark on this delightful former farmhouse.

The property sits at the back of a large tree filled mature plot of around 1/5th of an acre (subject to survey) and the sale includes a good sized period barn that could be converted to additional office space or guest accomodation subject to planning consent.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a very attractive, spacious period property set in such idylic surroundings, early viewing is therefore highly recommended.
