Description
Old Burgess Lemonade Factory, 27a Oliver Street, Ampthill
A rare opportunity to purchase the Burgess Lemonade Factory, a substantial detached property occupying the former site of the James Burgess Mineral Water Works, once a thriving local business producing Ampthill’s famous lemonade. Discreetly positioned in the heart of the town centre, the property combines space, privacy, and history in an exceptionally quiet setting.
Accessed through a private coach house entrance directly off Oliver Street, the property sits well back from the road and benefits from extensive parking along with gardens to the side and rear.
The main house offers flexible and well-balanced accommodation. The ground floor features an entrance hall leading to a spacious kitchen/dining room with doors to the main garden and a pantry cupboard. Off the kitchen is a ground-floor bedroom with en-suite shower room — equally suitable as a family room or home office — and a utility room with side access to the garden. The sitting room enjoys a large rear window overlooking the garden, a feature fireplace, and potential for a window seat. From here, a lobby provides access to the side of the house, a large understairs cupboard, a study, and stairs to the first floor.
Upstairs there are three bedrooms and a large family bathroom with bath and separate shower. The dual-aspect main bedroom is generous in size, and with the bathroom adjacent there is clear potential to add an en-suite if desired.
The extensive outbuilding includes a car port, workshops, and an annex, offering scope for conversion into additional living space, a studio, office, or gym. Subject to planning, there is further potential to extend or to add an additional garden building.
This is a significant piece of Ampthill real estate — combining size, character, and flexibility in a quiet central position steeped in local history. Few properties in the town centre offer this much space or potential, making Old Burgess - The Lemonade Factory an exceptional and distinctive home.
