Mill Lane, Everton, Sandy
Guide Price £1,500,000

A truly exceptional and rarely available four-bedroom detached bungalow, set within approximately 6.35 acres of beautifully maintained grounds and offering outstanding equestrian facilities, privacy and significant future potential.

Heath Lodge presents a remarkable lifestyle opportunity, combining a substantial and immaculately presented single-storey home with extensive grounds and a comprehensive range of equestrian facilities. Approached via a private gated entrance, the property occupies a secluded semi-rural position, set well back from the road and surrounded by attractive open countryside.

For equestrian enthusiasts, the facilities are particularly impressive. The property benefits from a purpose-built stable block comprising five individual stables, together with a kitchen, hay store/tack room and generous covered foyer area providing an ideal sheltered space for preparing horses before riding. Further facilities include level paddocks, a field shelter and an open barn. A neighbouring byway provides direct access to an abundance of hacking routes, allowing riders to enjoy miles of surrounding countryside.

The Accommodation

The bungalow offers extensive and versatile accommodation arranged entirely over one level, providing an excellent balance of comfortable family living and practicality.

A welcoming central entrance hall provides access to the principal living accommodation, with the outward-facing rooms enjoying excellent natural light and attractive views across the surrounding grounds.

The impressive 22ft lounge provides a generous and inviting space for both everyday relaxation and entertaining, with the accommodation flowing naturally through to the dining room. This then leads into the equally impressive 22ft kitchen/breakfast room, which offers an excellent range of cabinetry and work surfaces, together with ample space for a breakfast table. The kitchen also provides direct access to the utility room and guest cloakroom.

A separate study/home office is positioned off the main hallway, providing an ideal space for those working from home, while a further cloakroom adds to the practicality of the layout.

The bedroom accommodation is thoughtfully arranged in a separate wing and comprises four well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from its own en-suite, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a modern four-piece family bathroom.

The single-storey layout is particularly appealing, offering ease of movement throughout the home while creating a natural separation between the sociable living areas and the quieter bedroom accommodation.

Extensive Grounds & Outbuildings

The grounds are undoubtedly one of Heath Lodge's defining features. Extending to approximately 6.35 acres, the property offers a superb combination of landscaped gardens, paddocks and extensive equestrian facilities.

In addition to the stable block, the grounds include garaging, stores, workshop facilities, a field shelter and open barn. A particularly useful outbuilding is currently configured as a workshop, home gym and storage area, although its versatility means it could readily accommodate a variety of hobbies, home-working requirements or other uses, subject to any necessary consents.

The level paddocks and established facilities provide everything required to maintain a fully functioning equestrian setup, while the surrounding countryside and nearby hacking routes further enhance the property's appeal.

Significant Future Potential

Adding considerable further appeal is approved planning for the conversion of an existing stable building to create a separate self-build residential dwelling, together with a change of use of land to residential curtilage. Plans for the proposed conversion can be viewed via Central Bedfordshire Councils planning portal under (Ref: CB/25/03638/FULL).

The proposed dwelling would provide approximately 1,600 sq. ft. of accommodation, comprising two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a spacious kitchen/dining room, living room, utility room and cloakroom, together with off-road parking. Although the proposed plans are designed for a generous two bedroom dwelling the unit could be adapted to offer four bedrooms subject to relevant approval.

A unilateral undertaking has been signed and the application is understood to be progressing towards a decision.

This could provide an exceptional opportunity for multi-generational living, an additional family dwelling or the potential for an additional income stream.
