The property offers further scope to extend (STP), with the garage space offering potential for ancillary accommodation.
The home dates back to the late 1800’s and is built in a traditional red brick which sits beneath a clay tiled roof. Wrought iron railings and gate enclose a shingled frontage and porch extension with main door leading into an entrance lobby. A footpath to the side leads up to a secure gate which provides access to the rear. The private drive is accessed via ‘Arthur Street’ where double gates lead onto a paved area where parking is made available for numerous vehicles and, access to the detached double garage.
The property internally has some great improvements and features to include both a re-fitted en-suite and bathroom to the first floor, plantation shutter fittings to the modern sash windows, a working, open fireplace and Karndean flooring to the kitchen/dining room. From the front of the home an entrance lobby has a staircase rising to the first floor, a door to one side leads through to the dual aspect family-room which could also work well as a home office or study. Also off the lobby is a further door leading through to the kitchen/dining room measuring over 28ft in length providing a great entertaining and social space to the home. The kitchen area has been fitted with a range of pine cabinetry with granite worktops which also incorporate a breakfast bar. There is a free-standing ‘Rangemaster’ with five ring gas hob, hot plate, grill and two separate ovens, an integrated dishwasher as well as a fridge/freezer on a 70/30 split.
To the far end of the kitchen a door leads out to the utility/boot-room which also combines separate w/c facilities, a utilities cupboard housing the washing machine and boiler and, access to the rear outside space via a single glazed door. An internal door from the kitchen leads to the formal living room which is dual aspect and features an attractive cast iron working fireplace which sits on a granite hearth and has a timber mantle and surround. Further French doors provide access to the rear.
The first floor landing provides access to all four well proportioned bedrooms housing this level. The impressive principal bedroom offers attractive garden views to the rear via french doors opening onto a Juliet balcony. There is also a re-fitted en-suite shower-room with a contemporary suite to include a double width vanity unit and basin with below storage, low level w/c, heated towel rail and a double width shower enclosure with rain-shower plus additional attachment. Also on this level is the equally impressive bathroom/wet room which is mostly tiled with a matte finish modern ceramic tile to the floor and walls. There is a free-standing tub, low level w/c and a walk-in glass panelled enclosure with rain-shower, heated towel rail and stylish mosaic tiling to the flooring.
To the outside and rear of the home is an attractive, mostly walled garden which extends modestly to 125 ft in length. The private gated drive to the side leads onto a large expanse of driveway and patio space, where there is a raised area and pond with mulched border and a number of planted perennials. Further shrubs occupy the borders along with some fruit trees to include both apple and plumb as well as holly. The detached pitched roof double garage is accessed via two conventional up and over doors to the front and personnel door to the side. Internally there is useful eaves storage above, both power and light are supplied and there is an attached workshop to the rear. Beyond the garage are formal lawns, a timber garden shed and water butt.

The area is renowned for its autonomous schooling for all age groups, with 'Russell Lower', ‘Firs Lower’, 'Alameda' and 'Redborne' just a short walk away. There is also a local pick-up point for the Bedford Harpur trust private schools for both boys and girls. Links into London are from Flitwick station with a frequent service into St Pancras which takes as little as 40 minutes, major road links are from J13, M1 which is less than 15 minutes from the property.
