A substantial four bedroom Victorian family home, just a short stroll from the heart of Leighton Buzzard. You have a wealth of original features throughout, and a whole host of extra spaces to make your own, including basement, garage and garden studio.
If This Was Your Home... - You'll step through your front door and into the hallway with stairs ahead and original timber floorboards, recently restored to a wonderful shine. You have a wealth of sociable space here, starting with your artfully arranged through lounge, a flexible pair of rooms just to your right as you enter.
Your front reception comes in at 180 square feet. In here you have original cornicing overhead, those lovingly restored vintage floorboards and classic sashes in the bay window. A recently installed eco design wood burner sits in the hearth below a timber mantel. Throw back the obscure glazed, period timber internal doors with transom window, to connect the front and rear spaces.
Those vintage timber floorboards flow on into the second reception, your dining room, impressively spacious at 175 square feet. Here you'll find a second hearth, ebony with period tiling, while a patio door sits to the rear leading out to your garden. The dual aspect, together with clear sightlines across the entire twenty eight foot depth, makes for a wonderfully bright hosting space.
From here it's a direct step into your 200 square foot kitchen/breakfast room. Skylights and exposed timber beam sit overhead, above walls finished in pastel green, while smoky slate tiling lies underfoot. The kitchen's decked out with plenty of cream cabinets, integrated appliances and an extra wide chef's oven below pastel tiled splashbacks.
Natural light floods the whole space, the dining area especially, thanks to that skylight and French doors leading out to the garden. There's more to explore before stepping outside though. To the rear, a modest second hallway leads to a handy spare WC, finished in the same colour scheme and style as your diner. There's also a handy utility room, almost a second kitchen, finished in royal blue with complementary cabinets, splashbacks and sink.
Out into your garden now, and first stop is your secluded patio, sat in the lee of the house and barely overlooked. Ideal for dining al fresco. Head past a raised kitchen bed into your completely walled garden with mature trees and steps taking you down onto the lawned area. Plenty of space for garden parties in the summer.
Your garden's also home to an intriguing, ninety square foot office. Fully powered, with skylights in the vaulted ceiling, this is an extremely flexible space and an especially appealing option for remote workers - segmented as it is from the main house for that vital home/work balance.
Head back inside and down to the basement for more extra, flexible spaces at 210 and 150 square feet. With windows front and back you have plenty of purposes you can turn these rooms to.
Whether you need more home working space, a den for the kids, home bar, gym or music room, you have all the space and light you need to realise whatever goal you have in mind.
Upstairs now, where your principal bedroom is an impressive 220 square feet, a pair of oversized original sash windows allowing the light to flood in, a vintage ebony hearth sits in the striking statement chimney breast and you have a handy floor to ceiling original integrated wardrobe.
Across the hall is another double sleeper, with a striking characterful colour scheme and another original hearth and mantel. Two more double bedrooms (one with a handy period basin) complete the sleeping arrangements, each appointed in characterful style.
Finally your family bathroom features a luxurious encased bath, surrounded by aquamarine backlit tiling with a sparkling mosaic backdrop. Blonde hardwood style flooring combines with white timber panelling and an olive green statement wall to create a sumptuous spot to soak away the day.
Your Neighbourhood - Drivers will be pleased to know that, as well as that substantial private garage, you have affordable on street permit parking. Central Leighton Buzzard is just a five minute drive, and you can be on the arterial A4116 even quicker.
Parents don't have to look far for excellent schools. You'll find nineteen lower, middle and secondary schools, all rated 'Outstanding' or 'Good' by Ofsted, less than three miles away. The 'Outstanding' Pulford C of E Primary is just a half mile on foot.
When date night rolls around, the heart of Leighton Buzzard is just over ten minutes on foot, for a wide range of bars, cafes and restaurants. Alternatively, Leighton Buzzard station is a five minute walk with regular fast trains getting you to London Euston in half an hour.
