4 Bedroom Detached House, Northampton Road, Lavendon, MK46

Elegant Stone-Built Victorian Cottage in Lavendon, Olney, Bucks

This beautifully restored 1850s stone cottage offers a rare combination of period character, modern comfort and generous outdoor space. Set behind electric oak gates on a substantial and extremely private plot, the home enjoys a peaceful, south-facing garden filled with mature planting and original features. Ideal for families and home-workers alike, the property delivers an inviting and social atmosphere both indoors and out.

Tastefully updated by the current owners, the interior features original sash windows, brass fittings and high skirting boards, with quality materials and thoughtful decoration throughout.

Ground Floor – Victorian Charm with Modern Comfort

The main reception room is a large, welcome space that spans over 25 feet. With views across the garden and ample room for family gatherings, relaxing weekends, and cosy evenings by the original fireplace.

The kitchen features solid oak worktops and an AGA, complemented by traditional cabinetry and high-quality fixtures. The layout flows seamlessly into the dining room, separate utility room, and ground floor WC. An additional room downstairs with built-in storage offers flexibility as a home office or family room.

Brass toggle switches, oak flooring and cast iron radiators retain the home’s heritage while enhancing everyday comfort.

First Floor – Four Bedrooms and Two Bathrooms

Upstairs, four bedrooms offer calm and comfort, with period details and character throughout. The principal bedroom includes a private en-suite shower room, built-in storage, and garden views. 

Meanwhile, the remaining three bedrooms are all well-proportioned and serviced by a traditional family bathroom. Two large lofts, one fully boarded, provide ample additional storage space.

Outdoor Living – South-Facing Garden Sanctuary

The garden is a particular highlight, facing south and enjoying sun throughout the day. A rear porch offers the perfect spot for morning coffee, with views over lawns, fruit trees and carefully tended planting. Apple trees, blackberries, grape vines and a willow tree with TPO protection create a unique and peaceful garden setting.

Solid oak electric gates open to an expansive gravel driveway with space for seven or more vehicles. The oak-framed double garage includes external lighting and completes this exceptionally private and secure plot.

Location – Village Community & Countryside Living

Lavendon is a charming village offering a strong sense of community, two family-friendly pubs, a well-regarded village shop and an abundance of country walks, all within easy reach. Regular community events and local traditions add to the appeal.

The property is within catchment for Lavendon Primary and Ousedale Secondary schools. Transport connections are excellent, with Bedford, Northampton and Milton Keynes all within a 30-minute drive, providing train services into London and further regional amenities.
