Located on the fringes of the Mid-Bedfordshire village of Houghton Conquest surrounded by farming land and set within a cul-de-sac is 'The Watermead', which is a four double bedroom, double fronted family home constructed by messr's 'Mulberry Homes'. This flagship property offers a contemporary arrangement of well proportioned internal accommodation set over two levels to include formal reception rooms, an open-plan kitchen/diner, a utility room, two en-suites, wrap around gardens and a detached double garage.
Lawned gardens front the property which have a number of neatly arranged perennials and a central paved footpath leading up to the main entrance which sits beneath a pitched roof canopy. A tarmacked drive sits to the side and provides off road parking for numerous vehicles. The detached garage also sits to the side and its primary access is via a single key fob operated electric door. Internally there is power and light supplied, useful eaves storage above and a personnel door leading out to the rear garden. There is additional access in to the garden via a secure timber gate to the side.
Internally the home offers a neutral and modern design throughout. A sizeable entrance hall has a staircase rising to the first floor, under-stairs storage and a cloakroom. To one side is the formal living room which is dual aspect and has a feature open fireplace which houses a modern wood-burning cast iron stove. To the other side of the entrance hall is well proportioned study. This room could also be used as a dining room or play-room.
The impressive and equally size-able kitchen dining room sits to the rear of the home and has views along with access via french doors on to the rear gardens. The kitchen area has a number of contemporary fitted wall and base level units finished in light, matt grey. There are integrated appliances which include a dishwasher, induction hob and double ovens, all supplied by 'Bosch'. Further features include an upgraded light Quartz worktop and cabinet down-lights. The utility room sits off the kitchen and has complimentary units, there is space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble drier. A door provides further access on to the gardens.
The first floor landing is galleried to both sides, there is an airing cupboard, loft hatch and access is provided into all four double bedrooms. The principal and second bedroom both have modern en-suite facilities attached as well as a number of fitted wardrobes for convenience. Servicing the remaining bedrooms is the family bathroom which consists of a separate shower, panelled bath, w/c and a pedestal wash hand basin.
The well balanced gardens to the rear are enclosed by panel fencing and are mainly laid to lawn. There are some raised sleeper beds and a further walled side garden which is also lawned. The stone paved patio and seating area extends to a footpath which leads up to a gate and side access.
The village of Houghton Conquest is located between the Bedfordshire towns of Ampthill and Bedford, both of which are approximately five miles from the property and offer extensive amenities, Waitrose stores, schooling and local parks. The village itself has two established pub/eateries, a local store that incorporates a sub post office, village hall, Houghton Conquest lower school and various public footpaths and bridleways. Links in to the London St Pancras from Bedford take approximately forty minutes, alternatively the Flitwick platform which is six miles from the property has a regular service taking as little as thirty five minutes.
