The Collection by Harvey Robinson proudly presents a rare opportunity to own a substantial five-bedroom detached family residence with equestrian and small holding facilities in the charming hamlet of Colesden, Bedfordshire. Originally built around 1860 and thoughtfully extended and converted over time, Colesden Lodge Cottage is an exceptional home offering spacious and adaptable accommodation.

ACCOMMODATION On entering, the newly fitted modern and contemporary kitchen welcomes you with its range of wall and base mounted units, centred around an open fireplace that serves as the heart of this inviting space. A completely mobile central island offers additional workspace, while double doors lead to a stunning oak timber construction garden room, featuring dual full-length bi-fold doors that reveal the first glimpse of the gardens and large pond. Across the kitchen, an inner hallway guides you to a 23-foot lounge, followed by an impressive family room boasting an exposed vaulted ceiling. A rear lobby, with a refitted cloakroom, is off the family room with access to a utility room also, which leads to an additional reception room seamlessly connected to a spacious conservatory. The half turn staircase, with newly-fitted carpet throughout from the inner hallway, takes you up to three double bedrooms, with the primary bedroom boasting its own ensuite facilities and a dressing room. A recently (unused) refitted eclectic four-piece bathroom suite with exposed brick and rolltop bath completes the first-floor accommodation. Further stairs lead to two additional spacious bedrooms with fitted cupboards for extra storage completing this exceptional family residence. The entire property has recently been redecorated.

GROUNDS Outside, this property boasts expansive grounds spanning approximately 2.25 acres (subject to surveys), offering a picturesque setting for families and equestrian enthusiasts alike. The recently replaced livestock fencing has all been installed to section off the four fields providing boundaries and security. Accessible via electrically operated wrought iron gates, the large gravel driveway provides ample off-road parking. Additional vehicular access is available to the west of the property through a coach house entrance, leading to a courtyard complete with stables, a tack room, a workshop, tool & woodstore and a triple garage. The tranquil landscaped conservation area features a charming large pond which attracts a stunning array of natural wildlife, overlooked by a gravel seating area ideal for relaxation. A 5-bar gate opens to subdivided main areas, including paddocks, a pre-established vinery, and a manège. Completing the outdoor amenities, a separate 29-foot studio/workshop provides versatile space perfect for home-based businesses or creative endeavours. With its expansive grounds and versatile facilities, this property offers a unique opportunity to enjoy country living at its finest, all within reach of modern amenities.
