House For Sale £300,000
This property was purchased by the current owner due to its proximity to both Leighton Buzzard High Street and the Train Station, which is approximately a 20-minute walk away.
Why buy this home?
Situated on a sizeable plot, this family home offers its buyer the chance to make it their own with potential to extend (stp) both to the side and to the rear. Located a stone's throw from Leighton Buzzard town centre, it has everything you need on your doorstep without the need to get in the car.
Upon entering the property, you are welcomed by an entrance hall complete with contemporary, wood effect floor tiles. There is ample room to hang your coats and put your shoes and both the lounge and kitchen/diner are accessed from here.
The lounge is a comfortable size and has a warm, inviting feel. A large window to the front provides plenty of light and a door leading directly into the kitchen/diner means making a cup of tea is just that little bit easier! There is a fireplace that is currently closed off, which could be opened again to create a wonderful feature or house a wood burning stove, should the new owner desire one.
A wall once separating the kitchen and dining room has been removed to create a spacious kitchen/diner, more suited to modern living.
The kitchen has a country look and has been cleverly thought out to maximise storage and worktop space. Underneath the sink, there is space for a fridge and fitted appliances include an oven, a gas hob, and a cooker hood.
The dining area is the perfect space for family meals and there is a window overlooking the rear garden which could be converted to French doors. Tiled flooring throughout the kitchen/diner makes cleaning up any dinner spills a breeze.
Leading on from the kitchen/diner is the old coal barn which has been adapted to provide a utility area with space for a washing machine and a tumble dryer. There is also a new boiler which was installed in 2019 and has a 10-year warranty.
Upstairs there are three bedrooms and a family bathroom. Two of the bedrooms are doubles and a single bedroom currently being used as an office, would make a fantastic nursery. A fitted cupboard over the stairs in the single room provides more storage. The bathroom is spacious and is fitted with a bath with a shower attachment, a wash hand basin and a toilet.
The south facing rear garden is a wonderful space for children to play in or for entertaining friends and family. It has a patio area, the perfect place for a BBQ, which leads onto a lawn with a raised flower bed and a mature tree which provides shade from the sun. There is also a summer house currently being used for storage and a gate to the rear.
As the property is set back from the road it has a large front garden. It currently has a driveway with parking for two vehicles with a further graveled area which could create two further parking spaces if required.
More about the location...
Leighton Buzzard is a market town in Bedfordshire, near the Chiltern Hills and lying between Aylesbury, Tring, Dunstable and Milton Keynes.
The area has become an increasingly popular place to relocate to for workers from London, helped in part by its affordable housing – a big attraction for young professional couples wanting to get their foot on the property ladder. Leighton Buzzard provides great access to the countryside and other parts of the UK like London, Birmingham, Cambridge and Oxford.
Leighton Buzzard is close to the M1 motorway and A5 road, and is served by Southern and London Northwestern Railway services on the West Coast Main Line railway at Leighton Buzzard railway station in Linslade. The railway operates non-stop commuting services to Euston railway station, with the fastest peak journey times less than 30 minutes.
Leighton Buzzard operates a three-tier education system with a selection of with Lower, Middle and Upper Schools.
The River Ouzel runs through the town as does the famous Grand Union Canal, which Leighton Buzzard is well known for. There is a lot of activity along the canal which residents can enjoy, from peaceful walks to fishing and waterside pubs.
There are many community events scheduled throughout the year including both the Food and Canal Festivals in the summer, Linslade in Bloom, Music in the Park and the Christmas Market.
A short drive from Leighton Buzzard is Ascott House which is set in a 3,200-acre estate and benefits extensive manicured gardens which you are free to enjoy. There is also Rushmere Country Park on the outskirts of the town which is an area of 400 acres of woodland, heathland and meadows for you to explore. This is a Greensands Trust site with a visitor centre and café.
In 1963 the Great Train Robbery took place at a site near Bridego Bridge, between the villages of Cheddington and Linslade. Every time a Great Train Robber was caught law dictated that they had to be brought back to the small court house at Linslade to be charged.<br /><br />
