Combining a wealth of historic character with generous proportions and highly versatile accommodation, this remarkable home offers a rare opportunity to enjoy heritage living alongside the demands of a modern professional lifestyle.

Steeped in local history and once forming part of the Duke of Bedford’s estate, the property is believed to stand on the site of a former religious house.

The first floor continues to impress with six well-proportioned bedrooms, including one currently configured as a luxurious dressing room, together with a family bathroom and separate shower room. The flexible layout provides exceptional scope for family living, guest accommodation, or creating tailored spaces for modern working arrangements.

A particularly appealing feature is the separate one-bedroom cottage, offering a wealth of possibilities including multi-generational living, private guest accommodation, a home for extended family, or a potential income opportunity. This additional accommodation further enhances the remarkable versatility of the property.

Externally, Down Horn Farm enjoys a private and tranquil setting, with beautifully established grounds offering a wonderful backdrop for outdoor entertaining, relaxation, and family life. The expansive gardens provide space for alfresco dining, recreation, and future landscaping aspirations. A detached double garage and substantial driveway offer excellent parking and storage facilities, while the spacious room above the garage provides an ideal additional workspace, home office, studio, or recreational area.
