Property description
A rare blend of space, style and versatility, this unique Georgian home sits on a tranquil churchside plot in the semi-rural village of Eaton Bray. Originally three early 1800s cottages, it has been transformed into one elegant residence, retaining period charm while embracing 21st century comfort.
Character features abound, sash windows, high ceilings, exposed beams, working fireplaces, wood and tiled flooring, blending beautifully with modern updates like double glazing, two heating systems and a well appointed kitchen with Shaker units, granite surfaces, and integrated appliances. The heart of the home is the open plan kitchen/diner and orangery, perfect for gatherings year round, with underfloor heating and doors to the courtyard.
The ground floor offers three flexible reception rooms: a spacious lounge, a snug with original range, and a generous home office. A cloakroom and boot room complete the downstairs. Upstairs are four bedrooms, including a luxurious principal suite with dressing room and en suite, plus a stylish family bathroom with claw foot bath and an oversized shower.
Glebe House has front and rear gardens, an electric gated access, double car port, and a garage. The paved courtyard offers additional parking or entertaining space, alongside a flexible outbuilding, ideal as a studio, business space, or storage.
A standout feature is the detached one-bedroom cottage, ideal for guests, relatives, or as an Airbnb for added income. The main garden is mature and private, featuring a variety of trees and plants, with a well for watering.
Located opposite St. Mary’s Church and just 100m from open countryside, this peaceful spot is a walk away from local shops, pubs, schools, and leisure facilities. It also offers links to London via Leighton Buzzard or Tring stations, the M1, and Luton Airport.
