Why buy this home?
Finding a modern home so close to Leighton Buzzard High Street is rare, particularly one that benefits from allocated parking. Built in 2018, this stylish property is ideal for a first-time buyer and combines contemporary living with a convenient location, just a short walk from a wide selection of shops, cafés, restaurants and nearby green spaces.
The front door opens into the entrance hall that has space to store your shoes and hang your coats. Located off the entrance hall is a W/C, perfect for everyday living and ideal when entertaining, as it means guests won’t need to venture upstairs.
As you step into the open-plan living space, the excellent condition of the home is immediately evident. The design is clean and uncomplicated, perfect for anyone seeking a simpler, more relaxed lifestyle. The current owners have made the most of the available space, with clearly defined areas for dining, relaxing, and cooking. The kitchen features contrasting storage units complemented by subway tiles, giving it a fresh, contemporary feel. It comes complete with fitted appliances, including an oven, a gas hob with an extractor over it, an under-counter fridge, a dishwasher, and a washing machine. There is also room for a freestanding fridge/freezer, while a handy cupboard beneath the stairs offers additional storage and two floor to ceiling windows allow plenty of light in.
Upstairs, there are two bedrooms and a bathroom, all accessed from a landing that has a cupboard providing additional storage. The main bedroom is a great size and accommodates a super king bed, bedside tables, wardrobes, and drawers. The current owners have enhanced the room with a stylish panelled feature wall, adding a touch of character. The second bedroom is presently arranged as a nursery, though it would lend itself equally well as a home office or a comfortable guest room.
The bathroom has fashionable grey tiling and is fitted with a p-shaped bath with a shower attachment over it, a wash hand basin and a toilet.
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.
