House For Sale £650,000
A superb, deceptively spacious extended four-bedroom detached home nestled towards the fringes of the village and offering interchangeable accommodation, in addition to a stunning, generous rear garden.
Approach to the home is onto a shingled driveway which allows parking for numerous vehicles. Deep borders to the front and side have been stocked with an abundance of established plants, shrubs, and bushes, whilst a single garage is accessed via an up and over door. Entry is directly into a porch which has a tiled floor, recessed ceiling spotlights and a smart inner door into the main entrance hall. This has had an attractive wooden floor laid and a coat cupboard sits to one side. Beyond here stairs run to the first-floor accommodation with a useful cloakroom to the side. This has been fitted with a two-piece suite comprising of a cistern concealed wc and wash hand basin set into a vanity unit with half height wall tiling added. To the rear of the home and spanning the entire width is a contemporary kitchen/breakfast/dining room which, in this case, measures 29'6ft by 13'1ft. This has been fitted with a comprehensive range of smart navy floor and wall mounted Shaker style units with lighter contrasting Quartz work surfaces over. Several integrated appliances have been cleverly woven into the design including a Rangemaster cooker (potentially available by separate negotiation), stainless steel extractor hood, slimline fridge, and dishwasher. A breakfast bar extends to one side and stylish herringbone flooring has been installed throughout the space. To the far end is the dining area with ample room for a good-sized table and chairs, creating a real family/sociable area. A window and French door overlook the rear garden and flood the room with an abundance of natural daylight. Nestled beyond here is a separate utility room which has been fitted with a continuation of the same units, tying the two spaces together perfectly. Chunky Oak work surfaces have been added over, whilst space has been afforded for other free-standing appliances such as an upright fridge/freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer (all possibly available by negotiation). White modern tiling adorns the walls, whilst recessed ceiling spotlights, a window to the rear and stable door to the side finish the look. Completing this level is the principal reception room, the living room, which is sizeable at 16'5ft by 11'6ft. A rectangular recessed fire sits to one side whilst good quality wooden flooring has been laid and a bay window looks out across the front elevation.
Moving upstairs the first-floor landing gives way to all the accommodation on this level, the master of which occupies the rear aspect and enjoys a sense of character with a sloped ceiling, interspersed with recessed lighting and has unrivalled views down the garden. It also benefits from the convenience of its own en-suite which comprises of a panelled bath, shower enclosure, low level wc and wash hand basin. The remaining three bedrooms are all of double proportions, two of which sit to the front aspect, whilst the other nestles to the rear. They are serviced by a family bathroom which has a panelled bath, separate shower cubicle, low level wc and wash hand basin. The look is contemporised further by half height modern tiling, recessed lighting, and an obscure window.
Externally the rear garden is generous and has been immaculately cultivated and maintained with a good-sized patio directly against the back of the house. Beyond here a couple of steps lead up to a significantly lawned area which has shaped borders stocked full of well-tended plants, bushes, and shrubs. Various mature trees dot the plot. A secondary seating area has been created in the form of raised decking, whilst to the bottom end a timber cabin/office has been installed. This would make the ideal work from home space as it has power, light, and Wi-Fi connections. Alternatively, it could be utilised as a gym or teenager space.
The small village of Houghton Conquest is located north between the towns of Ampthill and Bedford. Local amenities include a convenience store, post office, lower school, 'The Knife and Clever' public house and eatery, various parks and a choice of bridal and footpaths. Major rail links into St Pancras International are from both the Bedford and Flitwick platforms (6 miles) taking as little as 39 & 40 minutes respectively. Both the A1/M1 motorways are accessible from the village. The town of Ampthill is just 3 miles from the village and offers further and more extensive amenities, to include a Waitrose Store, excellent schooling and parks.
