4 bedroom detached house for sale

This superb, deceptively spacious four-bedroom detached chalet bungalow occupies a generous plot within the sought-after village of Houghton Conquest and extends to approximately 1,900 sq ft of versatile accommodation.

The property is approached via a block-paved driveway providing parking for several vehicles, with a lawn and well-tended hedging to one side adding a touch of greenery. A garage with up and over door sits directly ahead. Once inside, the spacious entrance hall greets you, featuring a staircase rising to the first-floor accommodation as well as a useful shower room comprising a double shower enclosure, low-level WC and wall-mounted basin.

Beyond here, the principal reception room, the living room, offers impressive proportions, in this case 20’8" by 14’9", allowing for flexible furniture placement. Dark wooden flooring runs throughout, while windows to two elevations ensure the space is flooded with natural daylight. Further along the hallway are two generous bedrooms, one measuring 11’6" by 10’10" with a built in wardrobe, and the other extending to 10’10" by 9’10". These are served by a stylish bathroom incorporating a panelled bath, low level WC and wash hand basin, complemented by light modern tiling, recessed spotlights and a heated towel rail.

Positioned to the rear of the home, the kitchen is equally well-sized at 17’1" by 9’10". It has been fitted with a comprehensive range of contemporary floor and wall mounted units, finished with contrasting solid work surfaces over. A variety of integrated appliances are seamlessly incorporated into the design, and a window provides a pleasant outlook across the garden. An inner hallway gives way to additional accommodation, including an office/fifth bedroom—ideal as a work from home space—whilst running parallel is a dining/family room. Currently used as a second sitting room, its generous dimensions also lend themselves to a dining area, creating a sociable family hub. Completing the ground floor is the conservatory, constructed of brick and uPVC double glazing beneath a vaulted polycarbonate roof, with French doors opening directly onto the garden.

To the first floor, the landing serves two well proportioned bedrooms. The master of which benefits from a dual aspect orientation and the convenience of an en-suite, fitted with a walk in shower cubicle, concealed cistern WC and wall mounted wash basin, finished with a blend of stylish tiling and wooden panelling to the splashback areas. Across the landing, the final bedroom features a charming shaped ceiling and is currently used as a dressing room for the main suite.

Externally, the rear garden wraps around the property and has been thoughtfully landscaped to create a variety of spaces. A decked seating area immediately outside provides the perfect spot for relaxing or entertaining, while beyond, the garden is mainly laid to lawn with additional features including a paved terrace, shingled borders and raised sleeper beds with mature planting.

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 into 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.
