Property description

The Old Piggery is a beautifully presented detached property with self-contained annex and current planning permission for extension set in the heart of the sought-after South Bedfordshire village of Clophill.

The property is set a way back from the road and offers an abundance of living space over three floors. It enjoys a south-facing aspect allowing much light into the property and the loft rooms have been well converted.

There is a large dining room which is currently used as a family room; it has a period fire place and stairs leading to the first floor. The kitchen/breakfast room is large enough for a breakfast or dining table and leads into the utility and then through to the boot room. There is currently planning permission for a single storey extension to square off the kitchen and the utility room. Permission was previously granted for a double storey extension but has recently expired.

On the first floor there are a total of four bedrooms and two bathrooms. The master bedroom has built in wardrobes and enjoys views over Clophill and the open countryside beyond. The second floor offers a study/music room and another study or reception room is accessible from the fourth bedroom.
