Cooking up a storm: Bedfordshire barn conversion for sale with five suites and wow-factor kitchen — plenty of room for guests or a cookery school

The charms of this barn conversion in the pretty village of Thurleigh, Bedfordshire, are not restricted to its glorious rural setting and countryside views.

The interiors are exquisite and the sheer scale of the place speaks to its business potential.

The principal building, a substantial 17th-century Grade II-listed barn, has five double bedrooms, all of which could become guest suites, while the kitchen is a stunning space with limestone floors, beamed ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows — the perfect place for a small cookery school, perhaps?

A second detached oak-clad barn is ripe for conversion into further guest space or for equestrian use, and there’s more than one-and-half acres of garden, with extra land available to rent or buy.

The country package is for sale for £1.35 million. Through Michael Graham (01234 969025).
