Lane & Holmes are delighted to offer for sale this recently improved and updated detached Potton Timber home on the edge of Riseley in north Bedfordshire. The current owner has recently undertaken a number of improvements including re-decoration of the beams to create a light finish, there are new floor coverings throughout including wooden flooring through the ground floor and the property has been decorated from top to bottom.

In brief the accommodation includes a large entrance hall with a central staircase, a cloakroom and an office. There is a lounge with a large inglenook fireplace, which is mirrored in the adjoining dining room. The log burner has recently been renewed, with a gas supply if a gas fire is preferable to a purchaser.

The modern kitchen is a particular feature and has been refitted and includes a range of integrated appliances including two ovens (one with a built in steam function and a warming drawer) all set within Silestone work surfaces and including a 1? bowl inset sink. There is an adjoining utility room. The real signature space is a modern yet sympathetic addition to the rear - a stunning family room with a vaulted ceiling, two sets of bi-fold doors and an ideal space for entertaining.

The first floor offers a galleried landing and sees the character and charm continue with exposed beams and brickwork. The master bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and a refitted and re-designed en suite shower room and there are three further bedrooms, each with built-in wardrobes, as well as a family bathroom which has also been renewed.

Further benefits include double glazing, gas fired central heating (with new hot water cylinder) and there is underfloor heating in the kitchen and the family room.

Other appealing features include a positive ventilation system, which ensures fresh air circulation in the property. Solar panels have been fitted to the garage roof and there is associated battery storage, reducing the energy costs for running the property. A Harvey Arc water softener has also been installed and the property has CCTV fitted. The property also has planning permission for a single storey side extension, plans available upon request.

Externally the property sits forward on a generous landscaped plot with gardens at the front behind a five bar gate with a shingled driveway leading to a detached double garage with adjoining workshop, with the garage doors having recently been renewed.
