House For Sale £675,000
This quite superb four/five-bedroom detached home occupies a wonderful, elevated position within the sought after village of Maulden and has undergone significant enlargement to create a sleek, flexible family home.
Approach to the property is via a driveway which allows parking for two cars side by side with a detached garage directly ahead. Steps to one side lead up to a lawned area and a path meanders to the front door. Once inside you're immediately greeted by the entrance hall which has wooden flooring laid and recessed ceiling spotlights installed, and to one side a useful cupboard has had a washing machine and tumble dryer fitted. To the left-hand side is the living room which commands impressive dimensions, in this case, 26'4ft by 11'9ft and has been decorated in a range of neutral tones and hues with one papered accent wall, whilst matching flooring has been laid tying the two spaces together seamlessly.
Across the opposite side of the hallway is a study/fifth bedroom depending on requirements. A box bay window overlooks the front aspect and provides spectacular elevated views. Nestled behind this is a further reception room which is currently utilised as a family/TV room and has two windows to the side, as well as a staircase leading to the first-floor accommodation. Beyond here and spanning the entirety of the rear of the home is the dining/family room which has a beautiful, sloped ceiling with three Velux windows installed as well as French doors opening into the garden ensuring the space is flooded with an abundance of natural daylight. Ample space has been afforded for a table and chairs creating a real family/entertaining area.
To the far corner access is provided into the kitchen which has been refitted with a contemporary range of light grey units with darker contrasting work surfaces over. Several integrated appliances have been cleverly woven into the design including a Range cooker, extractor hood, fridge/freezer, and dishwasher. Under floor heating has been added and the look is finished with modern white tiled splashbacks and recessed ceiling spotlights. Completing this level is the shower room which, again, has been refitted with a stylish three-piece suite comprising of a double walk-in shower enclosure, cistern concealed wc and a wash hand basin set into a vanity unit. Ample additional storage has also been created and sleek modern tiling, a heated towel rail and recessed lighting installed.
Moving upstairs the first-floor landing gives way to all the accommodation on this level, the master of which sits to the rear of the home and enjoys unrivalled views across fields and open greenery beyond. It also has the advantage of built in shelved and railed wardrobes. Of the remaining three bedrooms two nestle to the front, whilst the other occupies the rear elevation. They are all serviced by way of a refitted four-piece suite comprising of a shower enclosure, panelled bath, low level wc and wash hand basin set into a vanity unit. It is contemporised further by modern splashback tiling and downlighting.
Externally the rear garden is particularly generous and has been laid predominately to lawn with an extensive paved patio area, ideal for relaxing or entertaining. The left-hand side has barked borders, whilst to the right a brick retaining wall has steps leading up to a further lawn and beyond that, and positioned to the bottom of the garden, is a second hard standing seating area. The boundary is enclosed by timber fencing.
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.
