Enjoying a fantastic size garden with large garden room (potential office) and driveway parking for two cars. Offered for sale with no upper chain.

If This Was Your Home... - Step between your mature hedges and you step into your entrance hall. On the left you're immediately welcomed into your bright L-shaped lounge of well over 300 square foot. Original beams and exposed brick give you a wonderful sense of the property's heritage, and there's not one but two woodburning stoves for the cosiest of winter nights. To the front you have a gloriously oversized exposed brick hearth and chimney breast, inset with more of that original timber.

Next door your kitchen blends the classic and contemporary to fine effect, with both skylights and original timber beams overhead. It's all been finely finished, with a wealth of pale blue units topped by contrasting dark glossy worktops. Underfoot there's hardwearing engineered flooring in a warm woody tone. A broad window looks out onto your glorious garden, a view you'll never tire of.

Here you'll also find the stairs down to your seventy square foot basement room, which you could put to use for anything such as a cinema room, study or play room. There's recessed lighting among the beams above.

Upstairs again, and back through the lounge you'll find the first of your three bathrooms neatly tucked away to one side, with modern white suite and wood panelling to the side of the bath. There is a frosted window to the front aspect.

Completing the ground floor, your first bedroom is just off the entrance hall. In here you have ninety square feet of comfortable bedroom space. A decorative fireplace tiled in bright blue provides a pleasing feature, and there's a handy built in wardrobe. If a downstairs bedroom is required look no further and it is easily accessible to the downstairs bathroom. This room could also be a perfect office if required. There is a window to the front aspect.

Your lounge's open staircase leads up to the first floor. This is where you'll find your 110 square foot main bedroom, overlooking the garden. There's the delightful addition of a balcony here, accessed via French doors and featuring a timber balustrade. Perfect for greeting the morning sun.

Your en suite shower room completes the principal suite, and features an elegantly curved walk in corner shower cubicle, low level WC and hand basin.

Bedroom three sits to the front, and gives you a grand 160 square foot of space to really spread out in. There's a pair of double wardrobes built in either side of the window, and another attractive fireplace. Completing this storey is your freshly refitted bathroom, with outsize grey tiling underfoot, artfully segmented bath, plus dedicated shower cubicle.

Finally you'll want to explore your vast, split level rear garden.

Here you'll find lush lawn, large patio, a sizeable deck with pergola, all framed by thoughtfully planted borders and mature trees.

You'll end up at your timber garden outbuilding, which gives you yet more space to use however you like. At 140 square feet it's perfect for an office, or perhaps a summer lounging space to admire the garden and your lovely home through twin windows and French doors.

Your Neighbourhood - If you're looking for authentic English village life you've found it. Ridgmont was first mentioned in the Domesday book by its original name of Segenhoe, and you'll be sharing it with fewer than 500 other residents. You're right on the High Street, in the heart of the village.

Your new neighbour is the charming village local the Rose and Crown, first opened in the early nineteenth century, and where you'll always find a warm welcome as well as a delicious menu. On the other side of you is The Firs Café whenever you fancy a freshly cooked fry up.

Whenever you feel like you want to get closer to nature, quite literally, you can simply stroll down the High Street and be making new friends in Woburn Safari Park within ten minutes. Or head the same distance in the other direction to explore Beckerings Park. There are almost endless opportunities for walking in the area.

You can easily hop onto the M1 at junction 13, and Leighton Buzzard is a pleasant twenty minute drive. From here regular fast trains take you to London Euston in a little over half an hour.

Finally, the picturesque Ridgmont Station is under a mile and a half away, on the Bedford Marston Vale line between Bletchley and Bedford.
