Bungalow to rent in The Moor, Carlton, Bedford MK43

The cabin, carlton

A lovely, stone, brick and tiled, 2-bedroom home, all on one level, with open-plan, modern living space, underfloor heating, and brand-new kitchen and shower room. On a quiet, tree-lined lane in Carlton, considered by many to be one of Bedfordshire’s best villages, The Cabin is set behind a cottage garden and driveway parking, and with a super, large back garden too. Originally two cottages and loved by just one owner since being re-built as one home in the ‘60s, it has been completely re-wired and renovated and will very soon be ready to welcome someone anew.

Far enough from any major roads to be spared constant traffic noise, the riverside village of Carlton is nevertheless, just 15 minutes from Bedford, with its fast trains to London in 39 minutes and every facility you would expect of the County town. The village is about 16 miles from Central Milton Keynes and even less to Rushden Lakes Shopping Centre.

Carlton lies in the heart of wonderful countryside, with its own shop and post office, Anglo-Saxon church, not one but two pubs, each offering something different, playing field and thriving allotments, and a village hall that shares the same building as the outstanding primary school. The beautiful Harrold and Odell Country Park, with its lakes, nature reserves and café is on the other side of the ancient bridge spanning the River Great Ouse, along with a Co-op. Another supermarket is just 6 miles away in the quaint market town of Olney. Play cricket, tennis or squash in either Carlton or Harrold, and work out at the Paula Radcliffe Community Sports Centre in nearby Sharnbrook – every facility on your doorstep, but in a wonderfully peaceful spot.
