ACCOMMODATION
The Collection by Harvey Robinson are delighted to present The Old Hopbine, a beautifully converted former public house that offers a unique blend of modern living and historical charm. Located at the corner of two of Biggleswade's most sought-after residential streets, this exceptional home has been sympathetically renovated to the highest standard, seamlessly blending contemporary features with original elements such as exposed brick fireplaces and bay windows.

The spacious accommodation spans three floors, starting with the lower ground floor, which was originally the ale cellar. This characterful space has been tanked and fully converted into a stylish cinema room, offering a perfect space for family entertainment. With its generous headroom and ample floor area, this versatile room could also be adapted for use as a home gym or additional living space, should the need arise.

On the ground floor, the property boasts three impressive reception rooms. The living room, formerly the pub's bar area, retains its original exposed brick fireplace and is bay-fronted, offering a cosy yet spacious area. The dual-aspect family room or playroom, with its large bay window and French doors leading out to the rear garden, is another versatile space for family living. A beautifully decorated dining room completes the reception spaces with further access out to the rear garden. The kitchen and breakfast room is a standout feature, offering a large island unit, sleek high-gloss units and complimenting work surfaces. Additional practical features on this floor include a separate utility room and a downstairs cloakroom.

The first floor is home to four double bedrooms, including a luxurious master suite with large shuttered windows, an original cast-iron fireplace, and a separate dressing room. The ensuite wet room, featuring elegant herringbone tiling, adds a touch of luxury. Two of the remaining three bedrooms benefit from high-quality built-in wardrobes, and the first floor is completed by a well-appointed family bathroom. Full planning permission, which has now lapsed, was granted for a first-floor extension above the dining room, which would provide an enlarged family bathroom.

OUTSIDE
Outside, the property offers a private, south-facing rear garden, complete with a spacious lawn, a paved sun terrace, and well-planted beds. A recently built outbuilding at the back of the garden provides a fantastic home office space, ideal for those working remotely. The property also offers off-road parking for three vehicles on a shingle driveway, an electric vehicle (EV) charge point, and solar panels on the roof, ensuring that the home is both eco-friendly and future-proofed.

LOCATION AND AMENITIES
Located at the corner of Drove Road and The Baulk-two of Biggleswade's most desirable residential streets, known for their charming Victorian and Edwardian architecture-The Old Hopbine is perfectly situated for both family living and commuting professionals. The mainline train station, with services to London Kings Cross and St Pancras within 45 minutes, is just a short distance away, as is the bustling market square with an array of shops, bars and restaurants. Biggleswade's A1 Retail Park is just over a mile away, easily accessible by foot or car.

A truly unique family home with character, provenance, and modern conveniences, The Old Hopbine must be viewed to be fully appreciated.
