4 bedroom detached house

A simply sumptuous four bedroom detached home occupying a delightful position within the highly desirable village of Clophill which has undergone extensive enlargement to an exceptional standard.

Approach to the property is via a particularly large driveway which allows parking for numerous vehicles, a generous lawn is edged with attractive brickwork and small, well-tended trees dot the plot. To the top a separate seating area has been created with a well-stocked pond providing a relaxing space with the soothing tones of lapping water. Raised planters have been combined with slate chip borders contemporising the space further.

The main porch is a later addition that opens directly into the entrance hall creating a real sense of space and theatre. The front door is bespoke with glazed side panels and once inside the quality is immediately evident with half panelled walls, useful shelved shoe storage and a wonderful dark Karndean flooring. A staircase sits to one side which runs to the first-floor accommodation with glass inserts and solid Oak topper. From here it leads through to the principal reception room, the living room, which has a continuation of the Karndean flooring tying the two areas together seamlessly and has been decorated in contemporary tones and hues. An inset wood burning stove creates a focal point of the room while recessed ceiling lighting finishes the look. Beyond here is a family/playroom which has some real character generated by the shaped ceiling and has the luxury of windows and French doors overlooking the rear garden.

Back across the hallway is the dining room which continues with the beautiful dark Karndean flooring. Ample space is afforded for a table and chairs ensuring the perfect entertaining/sociable area. An opening to the kitchen/breakfast room blends the two together but could, conceivably, be opened into one larger room subject to the necessary inspections and consents. This has been fitted with a comprehensive range of light-coloured floor and wall mounted units with darker contrasting work surfaces over. Several integrated appliances have been cleverly woven into the design including a Range style cooker, Neff dishwasher and the all-important wine fridge. To one side is a breakfast bar, while immaculate blue upstands finish the look perfectly. Running parallel to here is the utility room, this has a superb, sloped ceiling with Velux windows flooding the area with an abundance of natural daylight. Ample space has been created with a range of floor and wall mounted units with work surfaces over. Additional space has been allowed for other free-standing appliances such as a washing machine and tumble dryer. Also within this area is a useful cloakroom which comprises of a low level wc and wash hand basin set into a vanity unit. Steps lead down to a ground floor bedroom which has a shaped ceiling and a window to the side overlooking the garden. It also has the convenience of its own en-suite which benefits from a stylish double shower enclosure with large rain head attachment, low level wc and wash hand basin set in a vanity unit. Recessed ceiling lighting, heated towel rail and white tiled floor complete the sleek look.

Moving upstairs the landing has the same glass insert as the lower staircase and allows access to all first-floor accommodation. The master suite occupies the front elevation and is a great size making for flexible furniture placement. To the rear, space has been created for a dressing area with modern sliding wardrobe doors housing generous shelved and railed space. Completing this is a beautiful en-suite which has a super double walk-in shower enclosure, again, with a rain head attachment, low level wc and wash hand basin with storage under. It also has a white metro tile to the splashback areas, heated towel rail and recessed lighting. The two remaining bedrooms are both double rooms, one which sits to the front with a useful storage cupboard, and the other to the rear. These are serviced by way of a family bathroom fitted with a panelled bath, low level wc and a wash hand basin set into a darker vanity unit and 'Aqua Lisa' digital shower. Modern tiling and a heated towel rail contemporise the space further.

Externally the south facing rear garden is stunning and has been thoughtfully landscaped to provide a truly relaxing space. As you exit the back you are greeted with a vast decking area with balustrades and steps down to the main lawn. To one side a curved patio area allows for additional seating. A paved strip run across the lawn which has been imaginatively designed with inset lighting and steps down to further lawn with various trees to the lower part, along with raised vegetable planters and sprinklers. Bamboo screening sits along the rear perimeter of the garden. The entirety of the boundary is encased by timber fencing and has bespoke gated side access to both sides of the property. Included within the garden is a metal shed, timber playhouse as well as a generous timber outbuilding/home office space/mancave. In the current climate it would make the ideal office space but could equally be a teenage retreat or garden room.

The village of Clophill 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. There is a local convenience store and several well-established eateries 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. The area is renowned for its autonomous schooling at all levels including Redborne Academy. There are various public footpaths and bridleways within a short distance from the property.
