1 Bedroom Other

'Whitby Cottage' is a beautifully presented one bedroom cottage located in a no through road within the popular village of Northill. Ideal for a couple or person on their own this Grade II listed home which is believed to date back to 1800, if not earlier, offers a wealth of character features such as exposed brick fireplace, latch doors, quarry tiled flooring, exposed beams and timbers. There is plenty of quirkiness and charm with this cottage. The property has a living room with exposed brick fireplace and a cloakroom to the ground floor. On the first floor there is a fitted kitchen/diner with plenty of storage units and a well appointed shower room, upgraded and improved less than a year ago complete with heated towel rail. On the top floor there is a good size double bedroom with plenty of eaves storage space. Brand new windows have been fitted throughout also less than a few years ago. A viewing of this property is essential to fully appreciate. Northill is both the name of the village and also the parish and offers a range of amenities including parish church, pub/restaurant with nearby Ickwell having a beautiful village green and cricket pavilion/bar and being surrounded with open countryside. It even has its own May Pole! One of only three permanent May Poles in the country and location for the historic celebrations which continue to this day. There are local shops in nearby Upper Caldecote including Post Office, a very well stocked farm store and on the boundary with Biggleswade, a Sainsbury’s. Other supermarkets can be found at neighbouring Sandy and Biggleswade. For the commuter, both Sandy and Biggleswade railway stations are nearby which have regular trains to London Kings Cross in the south and all points north. The busy, bustling town of Bedford is around 8 miles away and the A1, runs parallel to the railway, and is close-by.
