House For Sale £350,000
Why buy this home?
This home is located on Billington Park, which is an established, residential area ideal for raising a family with local schools, a Co-op shop, play areas, and open spaces, all within walking distance. There is even a running track to keep the children active and off their computers! The development also provides easy road access to the A505 and junction 11A of the M1.
Approaching the house past the garage and driveway, you enter the enclosed front garden through a picket gate. There is a paved path that leads to the front door and slate chippings provide a low maintenance area to enjoy. The garage which has power, light and eaves storage can be accessed from the front garden.
Entering the home, the recently re-fitted kitchen is on the left-hand side of the entrance hall, and it is a real stunner. It has been finished to an exceptionally high standard and designed to maximise every bit of space including pull-out pan drawers with additional storage in them for spices or smaller items. The grey units are complemented perfectly by the grey oak effect work surfaces while under unit lighting suit the contemporary style. Fitted appliances include a slim line dishwasher, washing machine, under counter fridge, microwave, electric oven with an induction hob over it, and an extractor fan.
The lounge/diner at the rear of the home is a lovely size and is flooded with natural light that flows in from the south facing rear garden. Due to the size of the room, you can clearly distinguish the dining area from the lounge area without it feeling cramped. The dining area comfortably fits a six-seater dining table, and the living area currently has a two-seater chaise sofa and an armchair. The addition of a corner sofa would create further separation of the areas if this was your preference. A big advantage of a lounge/diner is that family meals are more likely to be had at the dining table, where you can catch up about your day instead of on your laps in front of the television! There is a working gas fireplace, a large understairs storage cupboard (ideal for storing those items that aren’t in use every day) and French doors which lead out to the garden. The wood effect Moduleo vinyl flooring from the entrance hall continues into this room.
An all-important downstairs toilet finishes the accommodation on the ground floor.
Outside, the rear garden is fully enclosed and backs on to allotments giving privacy and peace and quiet. It has a real tranquil feel, making it the perfect place to unwind in the warmer months. It is split into three areas; a patio leads on to a lawn which then leads on to a gravelled area at the rear of the garden. The patio area is perfect for al fresco dining or simply catching up with friends over a coffee. The lawned area has wide borders either side that are stocked with mature plants. As the garden faces south, the gravelled area at the rear provides welcome shade from the summer sun. A gate leads to the front of the property.
Upstairs there are three bedrooms, two of these are doubles and one is a good size single. The main bedroom is at the front of the property and benefits from a fitted wardrobe and an additional storage cupboard over the stairs. The second bedroom comfortably fits a double bed, a wardrobe, and a chest of drawers so could be used as the main bedroom if you preferred sleeping at the rear of the property. The single bedroom is currently being used as an office but would also make a great child’s room or a nursery – please note that this room has been virtually furnished to show it as a bedroom.
The upstairs family bathroom is spacious and gives more than enough room if bathing children. Tiling around water sensitive areas means any splashes can be easily cleaned up. There is a shower over the bath and a window provides natural ventilation.
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 reasonably priced 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.
