Description
67 High Street is a modern five-bedroom detached home occupying a private position within the sought-after village of Great Barford, with generous driveway parking, an integral garage and established gardens to both the front and rear. The property offers approximately 2,140 sq. ft. of well-planned accommodation, arranged over two floors and designed with modern family living in mind.
The house is set back from the road behind a gravel driveway, with mature hedging and established planting providing a good degree of screening. To the front, the property enjoys an attractive outlook over open countryside, while the rear garden provides a private, enclosed space for outdoor dining, entertaining, and family use.
Internally, the accommodation is light, practical and well-balanced. The ground floor includes a spacious entrance hall, a triple-aspect sitting room, an impressive open-plan kitchen/dining/family room, a separate snug/study, a utility room and a cloakroom. On the first floor, there are five bedrooms, two en suite bathrooms and a family bathroom.
Ground Floor
The property is entered from the side into a welcoming entrance hall, where the staircase rises to the first floor, and there is an understairs storage cupboard. The hall provides access to the principal ground-floor rooms and gives a good sense of the home’s practical layout.
The sitting room is positioned to the rear of the house and measures over 21 ft. in length. It is a bright and comfortable reception room with a triple-aspect arrangement and sliding glazed doors opening directly onto the rear terrace and garden. The proportions allow plenty of space for relaxed seating, while the direct garden access makes it particularly well-suited to family life.
A key feature of the house is the open-plan kitchen/dining/family room, which extends to over 22 ft. and forms the main everyday living space. The room is arranged to accommodate cooking, dining and informal seating within one open and sociable layout, with wide glazed doors opening onto the rear terrace and creating a natural connection between the house and garden.
The kitchen is fitted with a contemporary range of high-gloss units, complemented by granite work surfaces and polished tiled flooring. A large central island provides additional storage, a breakfast bar, an induction hob and a drinks fridge. Integrated appliances include an electric oven, microwave, dishwasher and full-height fridge/freezer.
The room is finished with recessed ceiling lighting and offers excellent natural light from the rear glazing and additional side windows.
Adjoining the kitchen is a well-fitted utility room, finished in a complementary style with further storage, work surfaces, a sink and space/plumbing for laundry appliances. This provides useful separation for day-to-day household tasks.
There is also a snug/study to the front of the property, offering a versatile additional reception room. It would work equally well as a home office, reading room, children’s room or occasional guest space, depending on requirements. A cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.
First Floor
The first-floor landing is light and open, with a galleried feel above the entrance hall, a rooflight, and access to the five bedrooms, family bathroom, and built-in storage.
The principal bedroom is a generous double room with a range of fitted wardrobes spanning one wall. The room has a calm, well-proportioned feel and benefits from its own en suite shower room.
Bedroom two is another comfortable double bedroom and also has its own en suite bath or shower room, making it ideal for guests or older children. The remaining bedrooms provide flexible accommodation for family use, guests or working from home, with several rooms having attractive sloping ceiling lines that add character to the first floor.
The family bathroom is fitted in a modern style, with dark tiling, a bath, a WC, and a vanity unit. Together with the two en-suites and ground-floor cloakroom, the property is well served for a family household.
Gardens
The property is approached over a gravel driveway providing parking for up to five cars and access to the integral garage. The garage has an up-and-over door to the front and a pedestrian door to the rear garden. There is also an EV charging point.
The front garden is attractively screened by mature hedging and trees, with an area of lawn and established planting softening the approach to the house. The property’s position gives a pleasant sense of privacy while retaining the convenience of a central village setting, with views over open countryside to the front.
To the rear, the garden is enclosed by a combination of timber fencing and a mature hedgerow. It is principally laid to lawn, with established borders, mature trees and planted areas providing colour, structure and screening.
A paved terrace spans the rear of the house and is accessed directly from both the sitting room and the kitchen/dining/family room, creating an excellent space for outdoor dining and entertaining. Raised planted beds sit alongside the terrace, adding further interest and definition.
Further into the garden is a decked seating area, creating a second outdoor space for relaxing in a more secluded part of the garden. A garden shed is also included.
