Property description & features

  • Impressive detached family home
  • Ample parking, detached double garage
  • Four bedrooms
  • Two bathrooms and W.C.
  • Four reception areas
  • Attractive gardens
  • EPC - C
An impressive detached family style home situated within a small exclusive cul de sac development of similar properties.

This imposing home is approached via a five bar gate with post and rail fencing enclosing a sweeping gravelled driveway that provides ample parking and access to a large detached double garage with a workshop. The property stands on a large, very private and predominantly Westerly facing landscaped plot. Whilst close to attractive open countryside, the property is also very well placed for both local amenities and the thriving Market Towns of Hitchin and Shefford.

The well planned living accommodation with double glazed windows and gas radiator central heating features an impressive entrance hall, cloakroom, study/family room plus a large sitting room with an inglenook style fireplace with a cast iron log burner. There is also separate dual aspect dining room with an additional log burner plus a fabulous open plan social kitchen with built-in appliances, central island, utility and sun room with vaulted ceiling.
Upstairs there is a feature galleried landing with views down to the entrance hall. The large master bedroom has a high vaulted ceiling with exposed beams plus built-in wardrobes and a full en-suite with a bath and separate shower cubicle. There are also three further good sized bedrooms and a large family bathroom.

Whilst requiring some refitting and updating, this spacious home in our opinion offers enormous potential, therefore viewing is highly recommended.
