4 bed detached house for sale

High Street, Riseley, Bedfordshire MK44

Tucked away in the sought-after village of Riseley, this delightful detached character cottage offers the perfect blend of period charm and practical modern living. With three bedrooms, a separate annex, off-road parking, and a private, enclosed garden, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a truly versatile home in a peaceful rural setting.

From the moment you arrive, the cottage's traditional features and welcoming kerb appeal make a lasting impression. Inside, the home has a warm and inviting atmosphere, with exposed beams, original features and cottage-style windows that reflect its heritage and character.

The Reception Rooms

At the heart of the home, the dining area and lounge are cosy and characterful spaces. The lounge is centred around a log burner, creating a wonderful focal point and a snug retreat on colder evenings. It's the kind of room you'll want to curl up in with a good book as the fire crackles away.

The dining room also benefits from having a gorgeous inglenook feature and pretty windows, beams and exposed stone walls. Everything you would expect in a lovely old cottage. Perfect for cosy dinner parties and Christmas with the family or friends.

Kitchen/ breakfast room

The country kitchen is located in the newer part of the property, but is still full of character with partially vaulted ceilings, skylights and a cutesy cottage feel. There's space for a small table and chairs, just the spot for breakfast or a morning coffee as you watch the birds in the garden.

Bedrooms and Bathroom

The first floor offers two bedrooms, each with its own individual character. The third bedroom is conveniently located on the ground floor alongside the bathroom and separate utility and WC. A real advantage if you are thinking of future proofing or have relatives that may struggle with the stairs.

The Annex

A standout feature of this property is the separate annex, offering exceptional flexibility for modern living. Whether you need accommodation for a dependent relative, space for visiting guests, a teenager's retreat, a home office, a studio, or a potential income opportunity (subject to any necessary consents), the annex provides independence and privacy while remaining close to the main house.

Outside

The cottage enjoys private and enclosed gardens, a safe haven for children and pets alike. With mature plants and trees and established borders the space feels tranquil and established. A patio area ideal for al fresco dining, finishes the space.

The driveway also accommodates two or three vehicles offering plenty of off road parking.

Riseley and the Surrounding Area

Riseley is a popular North Bedfordshire village with a welcoming community and a picturesque rural setting. The village has its own primary school and falls within the sought-after Sharnbrook Academy catchment, alongside a good range of amenities including All Saints' Church, a Londis store, the Fox & Hounds pub, and The Giddy Goat Coffee Shop. There are also playing fields with cricket and football pitches, a children's play area, a village hall, and a community gym, with plenty of countryside walks right on the doorstep.

Despite its peaceful setting, the village is well connected. Bedford lies approximately 9 miles to the south, and Kimbolton is only a short drive away. Commuters benefit from Bedford and St Neots mainline stations, which offer fast services to London St Pancras, while the A421 provides easy access to the A1 and M1.
