House For Sale £875,000
A great opportunity to acquire this individual gable fronted detached family home situated down a private drive of just two properties constructed approximately 30 years ago and located centrally within the Mid-Bedfordshire village of Maulden. The property offers a spacious arrangement of internal accommodation which is arranged over three levels to include four versatile reception rooms; living/dining/family-room/study, a stylish re-fitted kitchen/breakfast room, en-suite and family bathroom, plus a useful utility-room. Outside there is a private and mature lawned garden which extends to approximately 200ft backing on to private paddocks with attractive views towards St Mary’s Church, a detached double garage with workshop above and ample driveway parking.
The property is located on George Street, which is within a short distance from local schooling, Greensand Ridge walk and village amenities. Approach to the home is onto a gravelled driveway where parking is made available for several vehicles. The detached double garage sits to the side and is accessed via two separate up and over doors, the garage internally is supplied with both power and light. Steps to one side lead up to the main entrance as well as access into the workshop located above the garage. This area has excellent potential to create ancillary accommodation if required which would, of course, be subject to any necessary local planning restrictions.
Internally the property presents in great order and has been highly maintained by the current vendors. The entrance hallway has a staircase rising to the first-floor galleried landing and further staircase leading down to the lower-ground floor level and family room. Also off the entrance hall is a door leading through to the principal bedroom where there is an ensuite shower-room and door into the study.
Convenient access from the hallway is also provided into w/c facilities and separate utility room. The formal living room sits to the rear of the home and is dual aspect with windows facing to the side of the home and two sets of sliding patio doors leading onto an external patio. There is a feature fireplace which houses a modern cast iron wood-burning stove, smart Karndean flooring and an opening into the dining room which forms part of a more recent extension to the home, providing attractive views and access onto the rear garden.
The recently replaced kitchen/breakfast room sits next to the living room and has been fitted with a range of contemporary white high-gloss wall and base level units with stylish quartz worktops over which also incorporates a breakfast bar. The kitchen also features integrated ‘AEG’ appliances which include a five-ring induction hob with modern extractor over, a fridge/freezer, dishwasher and two eye-level ovens. Furthermore, there is kickboard and cabinet lighting, recessed ceiling spotlights, Amtico flooring and a door to one side which leads outside.
Moving to the first floor, the split-level landing to one side leads to bedroom four and to the adjacent side two further well-proportioned double bedrooms with garden views and fitted wardrobes. The landing is partly galleried and has views down to the entrance hall. Also off this area is the family bathroom which has been fitted with a neutral suite and tiling to include an oak vanity unit with top mounted wash hand basin, low level w/c, heated towel rail and bath with shower over.
To the outside there is a lower-level patio and entertaining space with separate courtyard garden to the side. The attractive main gardens are predominately laid to lawn and extend to approximately 200ft in length. There are well stocked, raised borders throughout and an array of mature shrubs and trees to include several apple trees. There is a green-house, two detached timber storage sheds and vegetable patch to the far end, which sit next to privately owned grazing paddocks and have idyllic views up to St Mary’s Church.
The village of Maulden is well positioned to cater for the commuter with the M1/A1 motorways both within a 20-minute drive, alternatively there are regular train links into London St Pancras from either Flitwick or Harlington platforms, taking a matter of 35/40 minutes respectively. Furthermore, the Thameslink line runs north to south through London and links to new cross rail/east to west London rail terminal at Farringdon. The area is renowned for its autonomous schooling for all age groups, with Maulden village infant/primary school being within walking distance and, 'Russell Lower', ‘Firs Lower’, 'Alameda' and 'Redborne' just a short distance away. There is also a local pick-up point for the Bedford Harpur trust private schools for both boys and girls. There is a local convenience store and two well-established pubs within walking distance, further and more substantial amenities can be found in Ampthill offering a selection of small individually owned shops, hairdressers and a Waitrose Store.
