Additional storage is provided by an understairs cupboard. An opening provides a handy Breakfast bar area and leads to the Cloakroom, to the right, with a window and featuring white Sanitaryware, a walk-in Pantry with shelves and the stylish Modern refitted Kitchen with a suite of Integrated Appliances. The Units are handleless High-gloss white, with contrasting Granite Worksurfaces, including the Breakfast Bar. Integrated appliances include a Dishwasher, Fridge/Freezer a 5 Ring Induction Hob, 2 Ovens (one is also a Steam Oven) and an Inset Stainless Steel 1.5 Bowl Sink. A door leads to the Patio, Back Garden, Garage and Office/Summerhouse.
Upstairs a large window provides natural light to the landing and you will find the 3 bedrooms, the family bathroom and a handy storage cupboard. Bedrooms 1 and 2 are double rooms and overlook the front of the property and enjoy countryside views. Both have the added advantage of built-in cupboards. Bedroom 3, a generous single bedroom, overlooks the back garden. The bathroom features a white sanitaryware suite including a vanity unit, an Electric Shower over the bath and an expandable shower panel.
Outside to the immediate rear of the property is the large patio area complete with pergola and Pizza oven, perfect for al fresco entertaining. To the right of the patio is a private access door to the garage, which measures 7.75m long and is supplied with power, light, water, drainage and a work bench, whilst a path between the garage and the house leads through a gate to the front of the home. Behind the garage is a wooden garden shed. Immediately ahead of the patio is the formal area of the garden, mainly laid to lawn with a raised border containing well established shrubs and trees and a greenhouse. This part of the garden accommodates the insulated Office/Summerhouse which has ethernet, power, light and is fitted with a Multifuel burner and stylish stainless steel chimney, a truly tranquil place from which to enjoy the garden all year round.
A gate at the end of the formal area opens into the Vegetable and fruit area, which contains numerous large raised beds and leads on to an area dedicated to wildlife featuring two ponds, where Newts and toads frequent, fringed by some glorious Iris's and just ahead is a viewing platform with swing chair which provides breathtaking views over the Bedfordshire countryside. My vendors report that a total of 136 species of birds have been noted here during their ownership. A gate opens onto open fields through which it is possible to walk to Southill’s pub and other local villages.
My vendors report that when there are Air displays at nearby Shuttleworth, the vintage Aircraft sometimes fly directly overhead!
To the front of the home is a pretty front garden, a drive providing off-road parking for at least 3 cars and access to the front of the garage. A path alongside the home lead to a side gate from which the rear garden can be reached.
