House For Rent £1,750
Why rent this home?
Three double bedrooms plus a flexible study space.
If you are looking for the sense of community that a new development often has, but a home that offers much more privacy, then this one provides exactly that. The thought of living in a modern home can be appealing but you could be put off as today’s new developments are often considered overcrowded and overlooked. This isn’t an issue here as this house forms part of a small development of just eight individual homes built in 2020 by a small, reputable developer. It is in immaculate condition throughout with high standard finishes and has a landscaped, low-maintenance garden meaning you can simply unpack your boxes and enjoy living in it straight away. The home benefits from a heat pump heating system meaning that there is not a gas bill to pay. It also has fantastic road links to the M1. There is a bus stop near to the property with buses direct to Leighton Buzzard train station, which can also be reached on foot in approximately 30 minutes
All the downstairs accommodation is accessed via the entrance hall which has ample space to store shoes and coats. There is laminate flooring that makes for easy cleaning if any muddy or wet footprints are left after trips to one of the many parks or playing fields near to the property.
A spacious lounge/diner measuring an impressive 17ft is bright and airy due to the dual aspect windows and French doors leading out to the rear garden. It is decorated with clean, white walls and dimmable spotlights can set the perfect ambience. Due to the size of the room, you can clearly separate the dining area from the lounge area without it feeling cramped. There is a feature fireplace that adds a focal point and character to the room and the laminate flooring continues in from the entrance hall.
The kitchen is the star of this home, and it is finished to an exceptional standard. High gloss wall and base units compliment the Quartz style worksurfaces perfectly and enhance the upmarket feel. Fitted appliances include a dishwasher, washing machine, an eye level oven, an induction hob and there is space for an American style fridge/freezer. If you prefer a kitchen/diner to a lounge/diner, then a dining table with benches you could tuck away would work perfectly in this room.
A W/C finishes off the accommodation on the ground floor with a toilet, a wash hand basin, a vanity unit, and a cupboard that houses the fuse board and provides further storage. There is also a window for natural ventilation.
The rear garden is a decent size and has been landscaped with composite decking and an artificial lawn creating a low maintenance space to enjoy. A raised decking area is the perfect place to enjoy al-fresco dining and a home office allows you to detach yourself from the house if you work from home.
The first floor has two of the three bedrooms and the family bathroom. A large dressing area with a fitted wardrobe leads to the second bedroom. The dressing area provides a wonderful area to get ready but is a flexible space that could be utilised in many ways. It would be brilliant for a family with a baby as it could be used as a nursery, with parents within easy reach, yet feeling like they still have their own space. It could also be used as a fourth bedroom or would be ideal if children shared a room but still wanted some separation. The third bedroom is at the rear of the property, overlooking the garden and has a fitted wardrobe. There is enough space to comfortably fit a double bed and a desk making it ideal for an older child or a teenager.
A contemporary family bathroom is fitted with a p-shaped bath with a concealed rainfall shower over it giving it a simple, sleek look. Chrome fittings complement the grey tiles and finish the bathroom perfectly.
The second floor is dedicated to the main bedroom and en-suite shower room. There is a vaulted ceiling with Velux windows and storage in the eaves, along with a fitted wardrobe. (Please note that this bedroom is currently being used as an office and has been virtually furnished to show it as a bedroom.) ). The En-suite is fully tiled and has a large walk-in shower, a wash hand basin and a w/c. There is a window for natural ventilation and an additional extractor fan. Before entering the bedroom there is an area ideal for a dressing table or desk with a skylight above for natural light.
A carport provides two parking spaces at the front of the property with further visitor parking available nearby.
