Winston Close, Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire

Why buy this home?

As you approach the front of this welcoming family home, you will notice that the front garden is fully enclosed by fencing making it secure for children and pets. There is a well maintained lawn surrounded by patio slabs, offering space for outdoor seating or decorative plants. This area gives a great first impression of the home.

The entrance hall in this home has a large storage cupboard where you can store shoes and coats, keeping them tidy and out of sight.

On the right-hand side of the entrance hall is the living/dining area. It is an impressive size due to an extension to the front of the home which has created a practical, open-plan space, perfect for family living. The living space comfortably accommodates two sofas with a coffee table, and it is a cosy area to relax in front of the TV at the end of the day. The dining area provides ample room for family meals, but its generous size also allows for a versatile setup - there's even enough space to create a dedicated children’s play area if you have younger family members. The flexibility of the space allows you to rearrange it as needed - whether you'd prefer a larger living room or a bigger dining area, the choice is yours.

A generously sized kitchen is designed with both style and practicality in mind. It has solid wood storage units offering plenty of space to keep everything organised. The granite work surfaces provide a durable and elegant finish, ideal for meal prep and everyday use. There is space for a range-style cooker, a dishwasher and a washing machine. There is also an under counter integrated fridge. Due to the layout of the home, if a kitchen/diner was your preference then the wall separating the dining area and kitchen could be removed to create a wonderful space spanning the rear of the home, looking out over the back garden.

Every family home needs more than one bathroom, and the downstairs shower room added in this one means you’ll never have to wait long to get ready in the morning, making busy family routines easier and more convenient. It has a large shower cubicle, a toilet, and a wash hand basin with vanity storage, while a window allows for natural ventilation.

On a sunny day, you could be forgiven for thinking that you are somewhere in the Mediterranean as the recently landscaped rear garden offers a beautiful, low-maintenance space which is perfect for relaxing or entertaining without the need for constant upkeep. It is a lovely size and raised flower beds allow you to add a touch of colour or give you somewhere to grow some produce. There is a gate that leads to your parking but additional double gates at the rear open on to a hard standing surface that provides additional parking should you need it.

Upstairs, this home features three well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom. The main bedroom, located at the rear, is an excellent size and benefits from plenty of fitted storage. The second bedroom is also a comfortable double room, complete with a fitted wardrobe. The third bedroom, currently used as a dressing room, offers flexibility and would make a lovely younger child’s bedroom or an office if you worked from home.

The bathroom is fully tiled and fitted with a bathtub, a toilet and a wash hand basin. There is also fitted storage in here where you can keep your toiletries, and a mirror has been cleverly fitted into the tiling.

There is driveway parking for two vehicles at the rear of the property with additional on street parking nearby for guests should you require it.
