Turvey Road, Stagsden, MK43

Presenting an outstanding setting in a peaceful village, incredible space with high-specification finishes, and a 1.5-acre plot with ancillary accommodation and a swimming pool is The Farmhouse.

The Farmhouse was constructed in 2016, by a local builder and as part of a small collection of executive properties. The location is tranquil, and typical of bucolic England, with a church and a village hall, and an ancient woodland. Browns farm shop provides local produce, Cherub Antiques restores unique pieces, Hay Lane sells flowers and hosts workshops, and Stagsden Christmas Trees is a destination in December. Stagsden is also home to Bedfordshire Golf Club, and there are walking, dog walking and horse riding routes that keep going for miles and miles, hours and hours.

The village position may be remote and rural, but it’s still very well connected. Bedford is 10-15 minutes away, where Harpur Trust schools are located, and where you can jump on a direct train into London, and to Luton and Gatwick airports for international travel. Milton Keynes is only 20 minutes away by car, and from here are rail services to Birmingham, Liverpool and Manchester.

At the home, it’s hard to imagine the hustle and bustle of city life. Approaching down a long, private lane, you arrive to quiet, calm, and encompassed by countryside. Behind electric gates, there’s parking for a fleet of cars to a driveway, car port and triple garage, and an EV charger is in place. The property is covered by CCTV for added security. Above the garage is a room flexible for multiple uses. To one side of the car port is a plant room, the other side is used as a gym, and above is a self-contained annexe. Both the garage block and the car port building have potential to convert into stables (stp), and the plot has paddock areas too. The property has been home to alpacas in the past, and there’s a brick-built chicken coop, making the name ‘The Farmhouse’ feel apt.

Coming inside, a sense of grandeur is immediate, with chequerboard flooring underfoot, and a galleried landing overhead. To the first and second floors are five big bedrooms, each with an en suite, three with fitted wardrobes, and the two on the top floor with balcony windows for taking in those panoramic views. The expansive primary suite has a dressing room too, and its en suite is peak relaxation with its egg-shaped Villeroy & Boch bath. Between the two top-floor bedrooms is a generous space that would work well as a library and reading area, and one of these bedrooms is currently used as an office, complete with media wall and ample fitted storage.

To the left of the ground floor is a versatile office/playroom with tartan carpet, and a formal lounge with a stone fireplace, while the main living accommodation is to the right. The house has stunning outlooks from every window, of which there are so many, and there’s vast green visible in all directions. This is most apparent in the elegant orangery at the back, which is particularly perfect for dinner parties, giving guests gorgeous views while they eat and drink.

Consisting of kitchen, dining and snug areas, the open-plan space is the heart of the home. The kitchen is both well-appointed and attractive, with timeless cabinetry and a central island, a Franke double ceramic sink, and an array of high-end appliances. Flagstone flooring unites the areas, and a log burner warms the space. The house has automation for the gates, music, heating and lighting, and Sonos speakers inside and out for bringing a party vibe.

The garden couldn’t be better equipped for entertaining, or with a more beautiful backdrop. There’s privacy, it faces south, and there’s a covered barbecue area and plenty of space for seating. The pool is heated (there’s an air source heat pump for water, running the pool in summer and the underfloor heating in winter, plus 14 solar panels on the garage), and there’s space for a hot tub for all seasons. The Farmhouse is an opportunity to live in luxury surrounded by lush landscapes, and one that won’t come around often…
