Stockdale, Toddington, Bedfordshire, LU5

This rarely available, thoughtfully extended four-bedroom detached home offers a wealth of spacious, interchangeable internal accommodation and nestles within a sought-after position in the ever-popular village of Toddington.

Approach to the home is via an electric gate onto a private road which, in turn, leads to the property. A hard standing driveway provides parking for several vehicles, whilst an ample lawn with well-tended hedging sits to the front and side. A single garage is accessed by an up and over door and has a window overlooking the side elevation. An electric EV charging point has also been installed. Once inside you're immediately greeted by the entrance hall which has stairs leading to the first-floor accommodation and has had light floor tiles added. A useful shower room is positioned to one side which has been fitted with a shower enclosure, low level wc and wash hand basin. From here the kitchen, which requires some updating, has been fitted with a comprehensive range of light floor and wall mounted units with darker contrasting work surfaces over. Several integrated appliances have been cleverly woven into the design including a hob, extractor unit, and double oven, whilst additional space has been provided for other free-standing appliances such as a dishwasher and fridge/freezer. The look has been finished with smart white tiling and a window overlooking the garden. A separate breakfast room is located next to it which has a personal door into the garden as well as a further window and door to the rear. Continuing along the back of the house is the formal dining room which provides ample space for a table and chairs, creating the perfect family/entertaining area. This space as well as the kitchen would, in our opinion, lend itself perfectly to being opened up to provide one, much larger room. Beyond here is the principal reception room, the living room, which commands impressive dimensions, in this case 21'4ft by 12'2ft and offers a superb dual aspect orientation. A gas fire with raised marble hearth and backing create a real focal point to the room, and with a bay window to the front aspect and French doors to the rear, the room is flooded with an abundance of natural daylight. Completing this level is the study/playroom/fifth bedroom, ideal for a teenage retreat or home working option and which, again, enjoys views to both the front and rear.

Moving upstairs the first-floor landing gives way to all the accommodation on this level, the master of which sits to the rear elevation and is a particularly good size. The second bedroom nestles to the front and has the benefit of a storage room to one end which is currently utilised as a dressing room and has a Velux window. Both remaining bedrooms are positioned to the rear, one of which is a double and the other a single. All are serviced by the family bathroom which has been fitted with a three-piece suite comprising of a panelled bath with shower unit positioned over, cistern concealed wc and wash hung wash hand basin. Modern splashback tiling, heated towel rail, and obscure window contemporise the space further still.

Externally the rear garden is sizeable and has been immaculately designed and tended to offer attractive outside space. As you walk out, you're meet with a generous patio area, perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Butting up against this is a further decked seating area, whilst steps lead down to the rest of the garden which has been laid predominately to lawn. Outside lights have been installed, in addition to electric points and two taps adding to the practicality of the garden. Deep, shaped borders run around the perimeter and have been stocked with an assortment of established plants, bushes, and shrubs. There is room in the corner of the garden for the installation of a garden room/office (STPC). The boundary has been enclosed by timber fencing with gated side access.

Toddington is a beautiful village designed and built around a large central green which provides a delightful focal point for the almost 5,000 residents that call it home. It is positioned five miles north-north-west of Luton, four miles north of Dunstable and six miles southwest of Woburn and offers superb commuter access to the M1 as well as the nearby mainline railway stations in Harlington and Flitwick. Dating back to the thirteenth century the village now offers a vibrant, bustling feel, combined with an authentic sense of community, and has a wide range of shops including hairdressers, beauty salon, opticians, and traditional bakers. It is also well served by three public houses, The Oddfellows, The Bell and The Griffin, in addition to Red Chilli offering high quality Indian cuisine. Schooling within the village operates on a three-tier system with St George’s Lower positioned on Manor Road, Parkfields Middle nestled in Park Road itself before moving onto Harlington Upper School located less than three and half miles, or 8 minutes, away, with all having a particularly good reputation.
