4 bedroom detached house for sale

Offered to the market for the first time in almost 40 years, Newstead Farmhouse is a charming detached four-bedroom residence occupying a substantial plot with far-reaching countryside views, situated on the edge of the picturesque village of Dunton.

Enjoying a wonderfully peaceful setting, this attractive home combines the tranquillity of rural living with the convenience of excellent transport links and local amenities just a short drive away. Having been lovingly maintained by the current owners for decades, the property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful family home with exceptional outdoor space and further potential, subject to the necessary permissions.

The accommodation begins with a useful conservatory entrance porch leading into the heart of the home — a beautifully refitted dual-aspect kitchen/dining room features a striking cast-iron Rayburn Stove, creating a warm and sociable space ideal for family living and entertaining alike.

Adjacent, the cosy sitting room is filled with natural light courtesy of a large bay window and enjoys a charming exposed brick fireplace with multi-fuel burner, adding to the home’s character and appeal.

A central hallway provides access to the rear garden and leads through to a substantial rear extension, currently utilised as a large utility and storage area with French doors opening onto the garden, alongside an en-suite shower room. Previously used as a ground floor bedroom, this versatile space offers excellent flexibility for multi-generational living or those seeking annexe potential.

To the first floor, the dual-aspect principal bedroom enjoys delightful countryside views and benefits from fitted wardrobes and a built-in kitchenette area. A second double bedroom also offers built-in storage, whilst two further well-proportioned bedrooms are served by the family bathroom.

Externally, Newstead Farmhouse truly comes into its own. Positioned centrally within its generous plot, the property enjoys gardens to all aspects with a gated frontage, beautifully stocked flower beds, and established planting throughout. A substantial driveway provides off-road parking for numerous vehicles and leads to an extensive rear garden featuring a large workshop, powered storage sheds, a dedicated vegetable garden, and expansive lawned areas bordered by fruit trees and mature shrubs.

The uninterrupted countryside views to the side and rear are a particular feature of the property, enhanced by low-level fencing allowing the surrounding landscape to be fully appreciated throughout the seasons — including visits from grazing cattle in the neighbouring fields during the spring months.

Further benefits include solar panels installed in 2019, currently generating an approximate annual rebate of £400.

Ideally positioned on the outskirts of Dunton Village, the property offers the perfect balance of rural lifestyle and accessibility. Nearby Biggleswade and Sandy provide mainline rail services into London, whilst the village itself enjoys a strong sense of community with a well-regarded primary school, recently reopened public house, recreational ground, and popular community gardens.

A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial village home in an idyllic countryside setting — early viewing is highly recommended.
