Ampthill Road, Flitwick, Bedfordshire, MK45

Apple Tree House is a beautiful four bedroom detached home which dates to 1925 and offers flexible, well proportioned internal accommodation seamlessly blending a wealth of period features with modern living.

Approach to the home is onto an ample shingled driveway providing parking for several vehicles, whilst to one side a detached double garage is accessed by twin doors. Mature beech hedging runs along the front perimeter and offers a degree of privacy. Once inside you’re immediately greeted by a porch which has a door to the right hand side into the study. This is the perfect work from home space and has been fitted with superb bespoke cabinetry. Back in the porch double doors lead into the main hallway which has stairs leading to the first floor accommodation, in addition to an attractive terracotta tiled floor and a useful cloakroom. This has been fitted with a two piece suite comprising of a low level wc and wash hand basin. Spanning the rear of the home is a beautiful kitchen/breakfast/dining room which incorporates an extensive range of light coloured floor and wall mounted units with darker, contrasting granite work surfaces over. An integrated Range style multi fuel cooker, extractor unit, Miele fridge and Bosch dishwasher have been cleverly woven into the design, whilst a large peninsular offers additional work top and storage capacity. The dining area sits to the far end and comfortably accommodates a table and chairs, creating a real family/sociable area. Dark wood flooring run across the entirety of the space, tying the two areas together seamlessly, whilst recessed lighting dots the ceiling and a combination of windows and French doors look out across the side and rear elevations. A separate utility room offers more cupboard space with matching granite work tops over and the opportunity for a free standing fridge/freezer, whilst beyond here is a laundry room, ideal for tucking away other appliances such as a washing machine. Back at the front of the home is the principal reception room, the living room, which commands impressive dimensions, in this case 13’1ft by 12’5ft making for flexible furniture placement. A gas fire with marble backing and raised hearth provides a focal point to the room, whilst a large bay window to the front elevation floods the space with an abundance of natural daylight. Completing this level is a more formal dining room which, again, has a beautiful fireplace and has been decorated in a rich red hue, giving a real sense of opulence. With a dual aspect orientation it offers a delightful retreat for dinner parties, entertaining or family catch ups.

Moving upstairs the first floor landing gives way to all the accommodation on this level, the master bedroom of which nestles to the front aspect and has an attractive bay window, in addition to the convenience of its own en-suite. This has been refitted with a stylish three piece suite comprising of a shower enclosure, low level wc and wash hand basin set into a contemporary vanity unit. Modern tiling adorns the splashback areas, and a heated towel rail finishes the look. Of the remaining three bedrooms two are of double proportions, extending to 13’3ft by 12’6ft and 11’3ft by 10’10ft, whilst the other is a good sized single room. They are all serviced by a bathroom which incorporates a panelled bath, low level wc and pedestal wash hand basin. Neutral tiling adorns the floor and walls, and an obscure window illuminates the room.

Externally the mature rear garden is sizeable with a paved patio area ideal for relaxing or entertaining. Beyond here the rest of the garden has been laid predominately to lawn with an array of established, vibrant plants, shrubs, and bushes as well as several fruit trees which are the remnants of a former orchard. All of this, in addition to well tended beech hedging, create the perfect oasis and environment for wildlife to thrive. Gated side access leads back to the front of the property.
