Property for sale in Leighton Buzzard LU7, 4 Bedroom

Icknield is that "once in a lifetime" opportunity. Having been with the same family for decades, this really is a Must See property, if you are looking for a period home with lots of character and charm, set within beautiful grounds.

This property is believed to date from 15th Century, in part, as artefacts that have been recovered from the gardens have been dated as such.
