About this property

  • Highfield Barn is situated in Bidwell, located to the north of Houghton Regis. The site is accessed from Bedford Road and is to the south of the new A5/M1 link road. The nearest mainline railway station is Leagrave (approx. 4 miles away), which provides direct and regular services to London St Pancras with a journey time of 40 minutes. Luton International Airport is located circa 9.6 miles south east of the site. The 2.35 acre plot (0.9 hectares) is predominantly open grassland, with a mature hedge-lined boundary to the north and a gentle slope from north to south. Vehicle access is from the west of the site off the Bedford Road, shared with four existing residential dwellings, one of which is Highfield Barn itself (outlined in blue in the above plan and is also available for purchase).
