Squires Road, Marston Moretaine, MK43

If you’re looking for single-storey living, this semi-detached bungalow is a good size and recently refreshed inside, with gardens, a garage en bloc and a parking space outside.

Squires Road is ideal for access to Marston Moretaine’s amenities. The high street is 200m from the front door, where you’ll find all the essentials, including a Post Office, a Co-op and a convenience store, a café, a fish and chip shop and a takeaway, plus a hair salon and a doctors surgery. Only a few hundred metres further along the road is The Bell pub, and less than a mile away from the address are additional amenities in the newer parts of the village, such as a Co-op supermarket, Marston Beans café, a pharmacy, a dentist, vets and a gym.

For fresh air and the great outdoors, Marston Moretaine has lots of surrounding countryside, as well as The Forest Centre and Millenium Country Park. These are the go-to for families and for dogwalks. There are sports facilities for staying active, and the village hosts events for all ages, where the friendly local community get together. There are schools for younger years in the village, and older years in neighbouring villages.

Marston Moretaine is set along the A421, so there’s quick connection by road into and around Bedford, into Milton Keynes, and between the A1 and the M1. Both Bedford and Milton Keynes have mainline rail stations for commuting into the capital.

For accessibility in the home as well as out, the accommodation is all on one level, and the entryways could have ramps installed. The front door has a side panel that can be opened up to widen the doorway. For ease and to ensure new owners can move right in, the property has been recently redecorated and there are new carpets, in light, neutral colours. The boiler was installed four years ago, and there are also PV panels on the roof.

The accommodation begins in the entrance porch. As well as an area to welcome visitors, this is a flexible space that could be tiled as a utility room, or carpeted as a cosy garden room, with sunshine streaming in. There’s a hallway from the porch leading to two double bedrooms at the back, both looking out over the garden. The bedrooms share the wet room.

The kitchen is at the front, fitted in light wood-effect units and laminate surfaces. There are gaps for an oven, a fridge/freezer and a washing machine, the boiler is in the corner, and there’s a cupboard housing the hot water tank. You may want to modernise the kitchen, but this is still functional and an ample size for cooking up a feast.

Also to the front is the spacious reception room, more than large enough to separate into relaxing and dining areas, and with capacity to host the whole family. A wide southeast-facing window brings in brightness. Between the kitchen and the lounge is a generous storage cupboard, and there’s a loft via hatch from the hall.

For bulkier storage, the property comes with a single garage en bloc just steps from the front door. This is also handy for parking a car under cover, and there’s a driveway in front of the garage for another car if needed. The front and side of the plot are block-paved for very little maintenance, with a bed of grasses and a small lawn. The paved area was hedged at one point, making it an enclosed courtyard. The rear garden is fenced to three sides and walled to the other, with a lawn, a hardstanding for a shed or a greenhouse, and paving for seating. There’s plenty of potential for the green-fingered to get stuck in out here, and for new residents to make this house a home.
