House For Sale £600,000
A quite superb, individually built three bedroom detached bungalow occupying a deceptively secluded position within convenient reach of the heart of the village.
Approach to the property is via The Grove, where a private shingled access leads to two homes. Positioned on the left-hand side halfway along is Mayflower Cottage which has a five-bar gate leading onto a hard standing, block paved driveway for several vehicles. The bungalow itself sits gable end on to the road with a detached timber garage in front. A smart front door opens directly into a generous hallway which has been laid with good quality wooden flooring. On the right is the kitchen/diner stocked with a comprehensive range of light-coloured floor and wall mounted units with darker work surfaces over and matching central island. A stainless-steel single bowl single drainer sink unit and extractor hood have been woven into the design, whilst space has been created for additional free standing appliances such as a cooker, dishwasher and washing machine. The dining area affords ample space for entertaining and has two windows flooding the room with an abundance of natural daylight. Running parallel to here is the principal reception room, the living room, which is particularly generous, measuring over 18ft in length with a beautiful brick fireplace with inset wood burning stove and slightly raised hearth. This creates a real focal point to the room and has a continuation of the wooden flooring tying the spaces together seamlessly. French doors to the rear open into the garden.
The master bedroom occupies part of the rear of the home and is a superb space which has been decorated in a range of neutral tones and hues. It also has French doors which overlook the garden. Complementing the room perfectly is a stylish en-suite which comprises of a walk-in shower enclosure, low level wc and pedestal wash hand basin. The walls have been finished in a large, contemporary white tile with grey veined detail, whilst a heated towel rail finishes the look. The remaining two bedrooms are both doubles, one occupies the front aspect and the other looks across the side elevation. Both are serviced by way of a family bathroom which has been fitted with a three-piece suite comprising of a panelled bath with tap fed attachment and glass screen positioned over, low level wc and wash hand basin. The walls have been fully tiled with a plain white tile as well as a heated towel rail mounted to one wall and an obscure window to the front.
Externally the rear garden is a good size and has a south facing orientation. It has been laid predominately to lawn with a paved patio area ideal for relaxing or entertaining. A separate block paved area creates additional seating or storage facilities, whilst the boundary has been enclosed by timber fencing.
The village of Houghton Conquest is located between the Bedfordshire towns of Ampthill and Bedford, both of which are approximately five miles from the property and offer extensive amenities, Waitrose stores, schooling and local parks. The village itself has two established pub/eateries, a local store that incorporates a sub post office, village hall, Houghton Conquest lower school and various public footpaths and bridleways. Links into the London St Pancras from Bedford take approximately forty minutes, alternatively the Flitwick platform which is six miles from the property has a regular service taking as little as thirty-five minutes.
