3 bed detached house for sale in Keysoe Row East, Bedford, MK44

Oxford Farm is a beautiful, traditional timber-framed farmhouse, with a colour-washed roughcast coating and sits on approximately two acres which include a paddock, stable block suitable for three horses, hay barn, tack room, double garage and ample parking for a horse box and multiple cars.

On arrival to the property you are instantly greeted by Dicky the horse who grazes in the paddock by the stunning willow tree. It feels as though you are walking into a painting and sets the scene beautifully. The current owner described her first viewing of the house as “Love at first sight” and it is easy to see why. The house is simply stunning.

The rear garden is so pretty and great for entertaining with a large patio enjoying views between mature trees and shrubs over the paddock and countryside beyond. From the paddock, a field gate offers direct access to a bridal way and local hacking.

A lapsed planning application for a double story extension is something that could be of interest to the future owner and a separate timber garden building at the side of the property is currently being used as an office.
