House For Sale £425,000
This stylish three-bedroom semi-detached family home has been significantly extended and improved to offer sleek, contemporary interiors all set within convenient reach of the centre of the historic Georgian market town of Ampthill.
Approach is via a substantial shingled driveway which allows parking for several vehicles. Once inside you're immediately greeted by the entrance hall which has stairs directly ahead leading to the first-floor accommodation, in addition to an attractive wooden floor. To the left-hand side is the principal reception room, the lounge/diner, which commands impressive dimensions, in this case 23’0ft by 13’9ft and has a beautiful wood burning stove installed within an attractive fireplace which incorporates a slate hearth and chunky mantle over. A continuation of the same flooring has been laid, tying the two spaces together seamlessly and the original beams have been whitewashed to give a contemporary twist. To the far end is the dining area which affords ample space for a table and chairs, creating the perfect family/entertaining area. French doors glance over the rear garden, flooding the room with an abundance of natural daylight. Completing this level is the kitchen, which is neatly tucked to the right. This has been fitted with a comprehensive range of floor and wall mounted Shaker style units with solid wooden work surfaces over. Several integrated appliances have been cleverly woven into the design including a four-ring gas hob, stainless steel extractor hood, oven and dishwasher. Additional space has been provided for a fridge/freezer, whilst the look is finished with a tiled floor and splashbacks.
Moving upstairs the first-floor landing gives way to all the accommodation on this level, as well as a further staircase to the top floor. Both bedrooms here are of double proportions, the bigger of the two which sits to the rear elevation and the other which nestles to the front with beautiful wood panelling added to one statement wall. They are serviced by a bathroom which has been fitted with a three-piece suite comprising of a free-standing bath, low level wc and wash hand basin. Modern splashback tiling adorns the walls and floor, whilst a stylish grey heated towel rail has been installed.
A second staircase leads to the top floor housing the spectacular master suite which enjoys a dual aspect orientation, providing unrivalled views for miles around. The room itself has a real opulent feel with curved, sloped ceilings as well as the advantage of its own en-suite. This has been fitted with a three-piece suite comprising of a shower enclosure, low level wc and pedestal wash hand basin. The look is completed by half panelled walls, heated towel rail, shaver socket and recessed ceiling spotlights.
Externally the south facing rear garden is particularly generous and has been laid predominately to lawn with two good sized patio areas, ideal for relaxing or entertaining, whilst raised planters are stocked with various plants, shrubs and bushes. Additional parking is available to the far side, accessed via twin timber gates, and ahead of this is a garage, large enough for most modern cars and incorporating space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. The boundary is enclosed by timber fencing.
Within a short distance are access to Ampthill town centre and its extensive amenities, Waitrose store, parks and high street shops. 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.
