Description
Welcome to The Old Crown, Great Barford, a rare and unique opportunity to acquire a beautifully presented, Grade II listed, four-bedroom detached cottage, meticulously renovated to an exceptional standard. Formerly the heart of the village as the local pub, this property seamlessly blends historical charm with contemporary luxury, creating a warm and inviting home that is truly one of a kind.
Upon entering, you are immediately greeted by a sense of character and heritage. The property retains a wealth of original features, including exposed brickwork and striking timber beams, which are complemented by a stunning open fireplace. These elements are thoughtfully balanced with modern finishes and high-quality materials, ensuring both comfort and style throughout.
The spacious accommodation offers versatile living, ideal for families, couples, or those seeking a flexible layout. The main reception room is a welcoming space, perfect for relaxing evenings or entertaining guests. Large windows and double glazing flood the room with natural light, highlighting the beautiful finish and enhancing the cosy atmosphere. Adjacent to the reception room, a formal dining area provides an elegant setting for dinner parties or family gatherings, while a separate home office offers a quiet and productive workspace, catering to the needs of modern living.
The kitchen is a true showpiece, designed to exacting standards and equipped with premium appliances, ample storage, and stylish cabinetry. This space is both practical and visually appealing, making it the heart of the home. The four well-proportioned bedrooms are thoughtfully arranged to provide privacy and comfort for all family members. The principal bedroom benefits from a luxurious en suite bathroom, finished to a high specification, offering a tranquil retreat at the end of the day. The additional bedrooms are equally inviting, featuring tasteful décor and plenty of storage.
A unique feature of this property is the impressive annexe, a barn conversion situated within the grounds. This versatile space offers a multitude of options, whether used as guest accommodation, a home office, or a leisure area. Currently, the annexe houses a fantastic games room complete with a bar, making it the perfect spot for entertaining friends and family or unwinding after a busy week. The barn conversion retains the same attention to detail and quality as the main house, with exposed brick and timber beams continuing the theme of character and charm.
Throughout the property, gas central heating ensures a warm and cosy environment, while double glazing provides energy efficiency and peace of mind. The entire home has been fully renovated, with every detail carefully considered to preserve the integrity of the original building while introducing modern comforts and conveniences.

The A421 is ideally situated with direct links to the A1 and M1, Milton Keynes is also a short distance away.

Buyers Notes: HMRC is a supervisory body for money laundering regulations, of which all estate agents need to be registered with. As part of this, there are multiple requirements that agents must rigorously and consistently meet to ensure they stay compliant with the regulations and protect their clients. To do this, we use an electronic identity verification service, approved by the Government as part of the Digital Identity and Attributes Trust Framework (DIATF). This method and the process we follow to ensure compliance for your transaction come with significant time, financial and legal implications hence a cost of £20 + VAT per person is charged. We elected for the electronic verification process due to the speed, certainty, and accuracy it delivers. This helps us to protect all our client's interests by using the most advanced verification process to help prevent the impacts of money laundering alongside our internal manual policies and procedures while staying compliant with HMRC.
