An extended and significantly improved four-bedroom detached family home, occupying a prominent corner plot within the highly regarded Brickhill district of North Bedford.

The property has been thoughtfully enhanced by the current owners to create a versatile and contemporary home ideally suited to modern family living, with notable improvements including a fully refitted kitchen and utility room, recently installed gas boiler, solar panels and EV charging point.

The property is approached via a driveway providing off-road parking for two vehicles and leading to the integral garage. The garage offers excellent potential for conversion, subject to the necessary consents, and could provide additional ground-floor living accommodation if required.

Upon entering, a spacious entrance hall provides a welcoming first impression and benefits from useful understairs storage. There is a ground-floor cloakroom and a generous living room with patio doors opening directly onto the rear garden.

The room is beautifully presented and enjoys direct access to the garden through a further set of doors, creating a wonderful connection between the indoor and outdoor living spaces.

The refitted kitchen provides an excellent range of storage units complemented by marble-effect work surfaces and a breakfast bar, together with an integrated oven and hob and fridge/freezer. The cabinetry continues through into the adjoining utility area, which provides further practical storage and workspace. The utility room leads through to a conservatory and also provides internal access to the garage.

On the first floor are four bedrooms, providing flexible accommodation for a growing family, home working or hobbies. The principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room, with sufficient space to potentially incorporate a WC or wash hand basin if desired. There are three further bedrooms, one of which has been cleverly designed to incorporate a unique reading/study area.

The principal bathroom also benefits from a raised walk-in Jacuzzi bath, creating an unusual and distinctive feature within the accommodation. The first-floor layout offers scope for further reconfiguration should a purchaser wish to adapt the accommodation to their own requirements, subject to any necessary permissions.

Outside, the property enjoys a generous wrap-around garden, with a combination of artificial and natural lawn areas and a substantial porcelain-paved patio providing an ideal setting for outdoor dining and entertaining. A brick-built pizza oven adds an attractive and practical feature to the garden.

Side access leads around to the front of the property, where the EV charging point is located. The addition of solar panels, EV charging and the recently installed gas boiler further complement the improvements made by the current owners.

Overall, this is a spacious and versatile detached family home which has been thoughtfully updated and extended, offering modern living accommodation, excellent entertaining space and considerable scope for further adaptation if required.
