Horseshoe Crescent, Houghton Conquest, Bedfordshire, MK45

GUIDE PRICE: £500,000-£520,000. This deceptively versatile five-bedroom detached home nestles within the highly desirable Greenlakes Rise development and was constructed by Abbey Homes to their 'Stewart' design, incorporating generous internal accommodation set over three floors.

Approach to the home is via an ample block paved driveway which leads to the rear and offers parking for numerous vehicles. Directly ahead is a detached double garage accessed via an up and over door with EV charging point attached to the exterior. The frontage has been well tended with an assortment of shrubs and bushes, whilst a path leads to the front door. Once inside you're immediately greeted by the entrance hall which has a staircase leading to the first-floor accommodation and to one side a useful cloakroom. This has been fitted with a low level wc and pedestal wash hand basin. Beyond here and occupying a dual aspect orientation from front to back, is the kitchen/diner which incorporates an extensive range of light-coloured floor and wall mounted units with complementary work surfaces over. Several integrated appliances have been cleverly woven into the design including a four-ring gas hob, stainless steel extractor hood, under counter oven, fridge/freezer and dishwasher. To the far end ample space has been afforded for a table and chairs, creating a real sociable/entertaining area, whilst beautiful wood effect flooring has been laid across the entirety of the room with French doors opening into the garden. Running parallel to here is the principal reception room, the living room, which commands impressive dimensions, in this case 20'2ft by 11'7ft making for flexible furniture placement and benefits from air conditioning. A window and French doors overlook the garden and ensure the room is flooded with an abundance of natural daylight. Completing this level is the second reception room, the family room, ideal for a growing family or equally to be utilised as a home office if required.

Moving upstairs the first-floor landing has an additional staircase to the second floor, as well as providing access to the accommodation on this level, the master bedroom of which nestles to the front elevation and has been fitted with a useful air conditioning unit. It also has a separate dressing room and the convenience of its own en-suite. This comprises of a four-piece suite incorporating a panelled bath, shower enclosure, low level wc and pedestal wash hand basin, whilst the look is finished with a chrome heated towel rail, shaver socket and recessed ceiling spotlights. The remaining two bedrooms on this floor are both comfortably of double proportions, one which sits to the front and the other which occupies the rear aspect and are serviced by a bathroom which has been fitted with a four-piece suite including a panelled bath, separate shower cubicle, low level wc and pedestal wash hand basin. Modern tiling adorns the walls and an obscure window glances across the rear.

The second-floor landing has the final two bedrooms to either side, both of these are double rooms boasting incredible proportions, one of which is 22'6ft by 10'9ft and the other 22'6ft by 9'2ft. They both offer a dual aspect orientation with a window to the front and Velux to the rear. The larger of the two also has a useful storage cupboard and given the elevation, they provide spectacular views for miles around. Nestled between the two is a shower room which has been fitted with a shower enclosure, low level wc and wash hand basin. Stylish modern white tiles adorn the walls, and a heated towel rail, recessed lighting and Velux window contemporises the look further still.

Externally the rear garden is sizeable with a generous patio area, ideal for relaxing or entertaining, whilst beyond here the remainder of the garden has been laid to lawn. A young sapling sits within the plot and the boundary has been enclosed by timber fencing with gated side access.
