Chandos Road, Ampthill, Bedfordshire, MK45

This particularly rare three double bedroom detached home dates to circa 1913 and benefits from a wealth of spacious, interchangeable accommodation, in addition to parking, a useful garage and stunning rear garden, all within convenient reach of a plethora of amenities in nearby Ampthill town centre.

Approach to the home is onto a hard standing driveway which allows parking for one/two vehicles, whilst directly ahead is a single garage accessed via a roller door. Once inside you’re immediately greeted by the entrance hall which has stairs leading to the first floor accommodation as well as a useful cloakroom positioned to the far end. This comprises of a low level wc and wash hand basin incorporating tiled splashbacks. To the left hand side is the principal reception room, the living room, which commands impressive dimensions, in this case 24’8ft by 12’6ft making for flexible furniture placement. An attractive open fire with tiled hearth and surround creates a real focal point to the room, whilst windows to the front and side elevations ensure the room is flooded with an abundance of natural daylight. Beyond here is a more formal dining room which comfortably accommodates a table and chairs, making the ideal family/sociable area and has another period fireplace. Running parallel is the kitchen/breakfast room which has been fitted with a comprehensive range of floor and wall mounted units and incorporates lighter coloured work surfaces over. A four ring electric hob, extractor unit and under counter oven have been woven into the design and additional space has been made available for a free standing fridge and freezer. The room enjoys a dual aspect orientation from a window to the front and a door which opens into the rear garden. Completing this level is the conservatory which, again, is impressive in size, extending to 18’8ft by 9’9ft and provides spectacular views across the garden.

Moving upstairs the first floor landing gives way to all the accommodation on this level, the master bedroom of which nestles to the front elevation and has wide, dark wooden floorboards. The remaining two bedrooms are both of double proportions with one occupying the rear aspect and the other which glances out to the side. They are all serviced by a bathroom which has been fitted with a three piece suite incorporating a panelled bath, low level wc and pedestal wash hand basin. Tiling adorns the walls, and an obscure window bathes the room in daylight.

Externally the rear garden is particularly sizeable and has been thoughtfully designed and executed to ensure real interest. You initially step out onto a paved patio area, ideal for relaxing or entertaining, whilst beyond here steps lead up to a slightly raised lawn which is flanked by deep, established borders housing an array of plants, shrubs and bushes. To the far end of the garden is a wilder area which has several trees and mature foliage, whilst a path leads through to a timber summerhouse. The boundary is enclosed by timber fencing with gated side access.

Within close proximity is access to Ampthill town centre and its extensive amenities, Waitrose store, parks and high street shops. The area is renowned for its autonomous schooling for all age groups, with 'Russell Lower', ‘Firs Lower’, 'Alameda' and 'Redborne' just a short walk away. There is also a local pick-up point for the Bedford Harpur trust private schools for both boys and girls. Links into London are from Flitwick station with a frequent service into St Pancras which takes as little as 40 minutes, major road links are from J13, M1 which is less than 15 minutes from the property.
