5 Bedroom Detached House, Village Road, Bromham, MK43

Cherrywood is a unique family residence, spanning nearly 3,000sqft, and set within stunning 0.38-acre gardens, hidden away in a most private position.

This property comes to the market for the first time in nearly 25 years. The last two decades have seen the current owners raise a family, with one of the attractions being the proximity to Bedford’s Harpur Trust schools. In and around Bromham, children are assured of excellent education, commuters are a short drive of Bedford’s mainline station, and all ages are granted an array of amenities and activities.  

The village is nestled into beautiful countryside, ideal for dog walks, bike rides and horse rides too. Opposite Cherrywood is Bromham Park and the location of one of the village’s two Churches. The park is ideal for walking, and it leads to Bromham Mill, which sits on the banks of the River Great Ouse, and serves delicious food and drink as well as hosting artisan markets and popular events. Bromham village offers an array of amenities including two pubs, a large Co-op Store, Doctors Surgery, Post Office, Pharmacy, Village Hall with clubs, Library, Nursery, Pre-School, Primary School with Secondary School in the next village.  Only a little further afield are golf courses, gyms and sports clubs, Shuttleworth, Woburn Abbey and Centre. The riverside town of Bedford with the Harpur Trust schools is 2 miles away and for extensive shopping, entertainment and industry, Milton Keynes is 15 miles away.

Aside from location, the appeal of this plot is its privacy. Such seclusion is rare to find, and elevated outlooks afford lovely views, especially from the first floor, spreading over the village and towards countryside beyond. The wraparound grounds allow sun to reach every area, and various seating spots make the most of this oasis at all times. Planting has been meticulously maintained and includes a variety of mature shrubs, apple trees and a pear tree. Parking is plentiful to the gated gravelled driveway and the double detached garage. The gardens have a separate gated area for a shed, tools and machinery, perhaps an allotment.

Approaching up the driveway, you immediately feel a sense of space and tranquillity. The first step inside is a taste of what’s in store. It’s bright, impeccably presented, there are high ceilings for an airy ambience, and most rooms are dual if not triple aspect for bringing in astounding amounts of natural light. Kept to exacting standards, the quality of the fixtures and fittings and the style of the interiors can be seen throughout. Oak and limestone travertine floors cover the downstairs, and the colour palette is neutral and natural to fit surrounding scenery.

The layout is perfect for families as well as for entertaining, moving from kitchen into dining, flowing into the conservatory, appreciating the panoramic outlooks. The kitchen has farmhouse-style cabinetry and solid maple surfaces, with underfloor heating to the breakfast area. Through the kitchen is a boot room with doors onto the garden, followed by the utility room, with co-ordinating cupboards and worktops to the kitchen, a ceramic butler sink, space for further appliances, and the recently installed boiler.

For relaxing, there are two reception rooms. The first has a gorgeous fireplace for those chilly days, and French doors onto the garden for the sunnier. The second is more versatile, as a snug, a sizeable home office, a play room, or a teenagers’ retreat.

Upstairs from the hall, there are five double bedrooms. A range of storage is available to all bedrooms and across the whole house. Two of the bedrooms benefit from an en suite, and the family bathroom is contemporary Villeroy & Boch. If an annexe is needed for older children, visiting family and friends, or multi-generational living, the second reception room downstairs has the potential to convert, with the cloakroom and cupboarding offering capacity for a full en suite.

However you choose to live here at Cherrywood, it really is a world of your own, and we can’t wait to show you around.
