House For Sale £600,000
Windmill Road, Bedford MK45

Welcome to Petley Place, providing contemporary living with these new-build homes, meticulously designed for modern lifestyles, offering a choice of a luxurious three-bedroom with a walk in dressing room or a versatile four-bedroom or three bed with study configuration. Set on substantial plots, each residence boasts an energy-efficient design complete with air source heat pump, promising sustainability blended with comfort.

Scheduled for completion in April 2024, every detail has been carefully considered to deliver a superior standard of living. The heart of these homes is the exquisite kitchen/diner family room, featuring sleek matt units topped with resilient silestone worktops, accompanied by matching upstands. Full-length double-glazed Upvc windows grace the property with a sophisticated grey finish both inside and out, flooding the space with natural light while maintaining thermal efficiency.

The innovation continues with underfloor heating throughout the ground floor, segmented by zoned thermostats for tailored comfort in each living space. Ascend the glass balustrade staircase, an architectural statement piece that leads to the privacy of the bedrooms. Doors throughout the home are premium shaker style, coated in a tasteful matt white, and accented with chic black rose handles, mirroring the refined aesthetic of the exterior drum lighting.

In the bathrooms, select from a curated range of wall tiles, setting the backdrop for full-height tiling around luxurious bath and shower cubicles. Heated anthracite towel rails add a touch of elegance and warmth. Each detail is intentional, from the bi-folding doors that seamlessly connect indoor and outdoor spaces to the 10-year Buildzone New Home Warranty that offers comprehensive peace of mind.

The layout has been thoughtfully planned. On the ground floor, an inviting entrance hall branches off to a convenient cloakroom with utility space, and a substantial utility cupboard housing the manifolds and water cylinder. The rear of the home opens into a magnificent kitchen/diner/family room with a vaulted ceiling and bi-folding doors, presenting a panoramic view of the expansive garden. The bay-fronted sitting room on the right offers ample space for relaxation and entertainment.

Upstairs, the master bedroom promises sanctuary with an en-suite shower and an optional dressing room or fourth bedroom/study. The additional double bedrooms are well-proportioned, while a centrally located family bathroom serves the rest of the first floor.

Outside, the private rear garden is a canvas ready for memories, laid to a pristine lawn with a patio area perfect for al fresco dining or simply enjoying the outdoors.

With permeable block paving on the driveway and a planted front garden that welcomes you upon arrival, these homes balance aesthetic appeal with environmental consciousness, setting a new standard for modern living.

Area Guide

Flitwick is a Bedfordshire town mentioned in the Domesday Book. Currently, it benefits from a Tesco, convenience stores, Post Office, bank, and smaller shops, along with a market every Friday – although there are plans to redevelop its retail facilities. Leisure facilities incorporate a library, skatepark, and sports centre with swimming pool, gymnasium and squash courts.

The river Flit runs through local nature reserve, Flitwick Moor. As well as being surrounded by countryside, there’s an abundance of outdoor offerings, including the 11th Century Flitwick Castle, Flitwick Wood, Manor Park, Millennium Park, and nearby Centre Parcs Woburn Forest (which there’s even a shuttle bus to).

Schooling covers three lower schools and a middle school, with an upper school positioned between the parish and neighbouring Ampthill. All have ‘Good’ Ofsted ratings. A number of nurseries are within the local area.

Flitwick station has a fast and frequent rail service (into St Pancras in as little as 41 minutes), a regular bus timetable, and is just 5 miles from both the M1 and A6. London Luton airport is a 20-minute drive away.
