Why buy this home?
Fast becoming one of the most popular modern developments on which to live in Leighton Buzzard, Leestone Park is located off the prestigious Heath Road, with easy access to local schools and pubs, and just a short walk to Leighton Buzzard High Street. Wide roads and considerately designed homes give the feeling of space throughout the development meaning you don’t feel hemmed in like some modern developments. Rushmere Country Park is only a short drive away and is ideal for dog walking, plus you are on the right side of the town for quick access to the A5 if you need to get to Milton Keynes. The development itself has a Co-op shop for your daily essentials and a fish bar where you can get your takeaway for quiet nights in with the family.
The home is stylish, immaculate and at the start of a cul-de-sac meaning you don't have lots of traffic passing by.
The entrance hall, with its wood-effect vinyl flooring, welcomes you into the property. This flooring then continues throughout the downstairs accommodation.
A spacious living room that provides a lovely space in which to relax, catch up with family after a long day, or entertain friends. It is decorated with a neutral palette giving you the opportunity to add your own touches of colour, and the size of it allows you to arrange the furniture in a way that suits you.
At the rear of the property is the kitchen/diner which is simply stunning. It is fitted with green shaker style units (please note that these look grey in the pictures) which perfectly set off the white stone work surfaces and wood-effect flooring. An island has been added by the current owner which provides a place for informal meals, or for children to do their homework while parents prepare dinner. It also provides additional storage. Integral appliances include a fridge/freezer, washing machine, dishwasher, electric oven, and a five-ring gas hob. There is space in the dining area to fit a six-seater table and there is a storage cupboard for items such as an ironing board and cleaning appliances. French doors lead to the rear garden.
The W/C has traditional style tiling which the owner has added to create a bit of character in a contemporary house.
The rear garden is a good size by new build standards and is a private space in which to relax or allow children to play. The garden furniture is positioned on a patio where you can sit with a drink, catching the last of the sun on a summer’s evening or simply chill out waiting for the barbeque. The lawn is a blank canvas and there is also an area at the back of the garage where you can install a shed or a climbing frame. There is a power socket and a tap in the garden and a gate leads out to the driveway and garage.
Upstairs, two of the bedrooms are doubles and the other is a comfortable single. The main bedroom is tastefully decorated and has a mix of contemporary and classic finishes. The owner has added paneling around the bed, traditional style lighting and window shutters. There is space for a king-sized bed with bedside tables either side and there is the bonus of a fitted wardrobe. This bedroom is also served by an en-suite bathroom. The second bedroom is at the rear of the home and has more than enough space for all the bedroom furniture you would require. The single room would make a great nursery or study.
A four-piece family bathroom is spacious, finished to a high standard and serves the other two bedrooms.
The garage has power and lighting and there is potential to add extra storage in the eaves. The driveway has parking for at least two cars with additional visitor bays nearby.
More about the location...
Leighton Buzzard is a market town in Bedfordshire, near the Chiltern Hills and lying between Aylesbury, Tring, Dunstable and Milton Keynes.
The area has become an increasingly popular place to relocate to for workers from London, helped in part by its reasonably priced housing – a big attraction for young professional couples wanting to get their foot on the property ladder. Leighton Buzzard provides great access to the countryside and other parts of the UK like London, Birmingham, Cambridge and Oxford.
Leighton Buzzard is close to the M1 motorway and A5 road, and is served by Southern and London Northwestern Railway services on the West Coast Main Line railway at Leighton Buzzard railway station in Linslade. The railway operates non-stop commuting services to Euston railway station, with the fastest peak journey times less than 30 minutes.
Leighton Buzzard operates a three-tier education system with a selection of with Lower, Middle and Upper Schools.
The River Ouzel runs through the town as does the famous Grand Union Canal, which Leighton Buzzard is well known for. There is a lot of activity along the canal which residents can enjoy, from peaceful walks to fishing and waterside pubs.
There are many community events scheduled throughout the year including both the Food and Canal Festivals in the summer, Linslade in Bloom, Music in the Park and the Christmas Market.
A short drive from Leighton Buzzard is Ascott House which is set in a 3,200-acre estate and benefits extensive manicured gardens which you are free to enjoy. There is also Rushmere Country Park on the outskirts of the town which is an area of 400 acres of woodland, heathland and meadows for you to explore. This is a Greensands Trust site with a visitor centre and café.
In 1963 the Great Train Robbery took place at a site near Bridego Bridge, between the villages of Cheddington and Linslade. Every time a Great Train Robber was caught law dictated that they had to be brought back to the small court house at Linslade to be charged.

About this agent
Lion Estates - Milton Keynes
314 Midsummer Boulevard
Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire
MK9 2UB
01908 951942Lion Estates is a team of estate agents offering the most personal service in the industry. Our goal is to cover our costs by adding value in the form of a higher sales price, better communication and reduce stress for our clients. We aim to be your chosen property professional for life, offering advice and support even when you're not looking to move home. A New Breed Of Estate Agent It's no secret that estate agents in the UK don't have the best reputation compared to other countries across the world... We believe this is down to the high transactional nature of the typical estate agency business model. The need to sell high levels of homes results in poor marketing, worse communication and under-performance which leaves clients feeling short-changed. The agent who values your home and wins your trust isn't the agent who shows potential buyers around your home and goes on to negotiate your sales price. This crucial task falls to the least experienced staff member, who more often than not knows nothing about your home and hopes the potential buyer will decide to offer full asking price off their own back. Don't blame the agent though; they are likely conducting viewings on 30 - 50 homes, such is their business model, so it's impossible for them to know every detail about every home. But the person it impacts the most is the person who is paying the agent's fee - you. This, however, is through choice and not necessity - there is a better way. Imagine a service designed around what's best for the client, always putting your needs first. A truly personal service tailored to the different needs of each client as, after all, everyone's reason for moving is different. Not only that but every home is different - even if you have the same house style as someone else on your street, no other home has the same plot, orientation and feel of your home. You and your home are unique, and we for one believe you deserve to be treated like it. The estate agency industry has failed to evolve over the last 40 + years. It has failed to keep up with the changing needs of clients as the world around us has changed rapidly. Finally that change has come - welcome to the era of the personal estate agent.
