Description
Ground Floor
The entrance hall opens to a versatile study on the left, currently used as a treatment room but perfectly suited as a home office. Adjacent to the hall is the spacious dining room, complete with a cosy window seat and a view of the front garden.
The sitting room boasts exposed beams, two front-facing windows, and a staircase leading to the upper floor, adding a touch of character to the space. The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with stylish Shaker-style cabinetry, complemented by hardwood countertops and a breakfast bar. Modern integrated appliances include an electric double oven, a hob with an extractor fan, a dishwasher, a washing machine, and a fridge/freezer. A cupboard discreetly houses the gas boiler.
The adjoining family/garden room is a bright and welcoming space with underfloor heating, a multi-fuel stove, and direct access to the rear terrace. Ceramic tile flooring runs seamlessly throughout. A downstairs bathroom features a luxurious jacuzzi bath and contemporary fixtures.
First Floor
The staircase from the sitting room leads to the first-floor landing. At the front of the house, Bedroom Three offers generous built-in storage and views over Silver Street. Bedroom Two is a spacious dual-aspect double room, while Bedroom One, located at the rear, features a Juliet balcony that showcases stunning countryside views. The main bedroom also benefits from an ensuite bathroom fitted with sleek, modern sanitaryware.
Garden
Accessed via a secure side gate, the rear garden is a tranquil retreat. A terrace surrounds the electrically heated, recently refurbished swimming pool, which features steps and varying depths, all bordered by elegant balustrades. The lawn area is bordered by a traditional dry-stone wall and contemporary fencing, while mature hedges enclose the remaining garden, the rear garden has breathtaking views overlooking the Bedfordshire countryside and Stevington Windmill. A detached timber summerhouse, equipped with power and lighting, currently serves as a home gym but could be adapted to suit a variety of needs. There is a gravel driveway with a single garage with an electric door.
