14 NORTHILL ROAD
KEY FEATURES
A Stylish and Spacious Detached Family Home in a Prime Village Setting
Located in the heart of the picturesque village of Ickwell, this extended fourbedroom detached home offers a superb balance of character, comfort, and practicality. Enjoying open views across fields and paddocks, the property occupies a generous plot of just under 0.25 acres and is ideally suited to modern family life.
Set back from the road behind mature hedging, the property is approached via a gravel driveway providing off-road parking for several vehicles and access to a single garage. The front garden includes a lawned area with lovely open views.
The house has been tastefully updated throughout and offers light-filled, versatile living space. A bespoke kitchen forms the heart of the home, complemented by oak parquet flooring throughout much of the ground floor. The main reception space is a welcoming sitting room with a log-burning stove and fitted bookshelves, flowing into a snug and a separate dining room, both with access to the rear garden, offering an excellent space for everyday living and entertaining. Also on the ground floor is a useful utility room and a cloakroom, with direct access to the garden.
Upstairs, the property offers four bedrooms, two of which are interconnected, ideal for use as a nursery, home office or dressing room. All bedrooms feature fitted wardrobes, while the principal bedroom includes an en suite bathroom. A modern shower room serves the remaining rooms, and bedroom three has access to the loft for additional storage.
The rear garden is a particular feature of the home, carefully landscaped and well established, with a large paved terrace ideal for outdoor dining. A central pathway leads through the lawned garden to a vegetable plot and fruit trees at the rear. A timber shed provides useful storage, and the oil tank is discreetly screened with access from the driveway.
This is a well-proportioned and thoughtfully designed home in a desirable village setting, offering a combination of rural charm and easy access to surrounding towns and transport links.
SELLER INSIGHT
When we first saw 14 Northill Road, we were captivated, not just by the house, but by the village itself,” says the current owner. “Set in one of Bedfordshire’s most beautiful and unspoiled villages, it offered everything we dreamed of: charm, space, and a real sense of community. It is not overbuilt here, there is room to breathe, to walk, to appreciate the stunning conservation farmland and ancient oak trees we see from our sitting room.”
Since then, the house has been completely renovated from top to bottom, rewiring, a new heating system and boiler, a new kitchen, even extending the parquet flooring throughout the ground floor. “The garden has been fully re-landscaped too,” the owners says. “Now, it is manicured, hedged all around, and wonderfully low-maintenance, with a sunny lawn and a shaded seating area that is great for summer afternoons.”
“My favourite space is the large, dual-aspect sitting room,” the owner continues. “Bathed in light, it looks out over peaceful fields in front and a neighbour’s charming garden beyond our own at the back. A woodburning stove has been added to the space, making it especially cosy in winter. This house is ideal for hosting family and friends, with a spacious dining room that easily seats ten, and plenty of space in the sitting room, too. Plus, the driveway holds up to six cars, perfect for guests.”
The local area has much to offer, too. “There is a real village spirit here,” says the owner, “from the Maypole dances to cricket on the green. Each time I step out of the house to walk the dog, I pause and think how lucky I am to live here. And yet it is practical too, just 3 miles from the station with fast trains to St Pancras in 30 minutes, and 4 miles to the retail park, with hourly buses leaving from the village. I love this place so much that I am not going far, just to a new, smaller house in the village!”*
