Old Silsoe Road, Clophill, Bedfordshire, MK45

This deceptively spacious three bedroom family home occupies a delightfully leafy setting close to mature greenery and woodland, incorporating a wealth of spacious, interchangeable accommodation approaching 2000 sq ft. The property, in our opinion, offers ample scope to extend/enlarge (STPP), whilst currently requiring significant updating/modernisation throughout.

Approach to the home is via a hard standing driveway which allows parking for two vehicles in tandem, whilst directly ahead is a double garage accessed by a single up and over door. Once inside you’re immediately greeted by a small entrance porch, beyond which is the dining room. This comfortably accommodates a table and chairs, creating the ideal family/sociable area, whilst a staircase to the far end leads to the first floor accommodation. To the left is a separate family room but could equally be utilised as a fourth bedroom if necessary. Towards the rear of the home is the principal reception room, the living room, which commands impressive dimensions, in this case 20’3ft by 14’2ft making for flexible furniture placement. A window to the side, as well as a box bay housing French doors, open into the garden and flood the room with an abundance of natural daylight. The feeling of space and flexibility continues with a study/home office, whilst from here an opening leads through to the kitchen. This has been fitted with a comprehensive range of base units with light coloured work surfaces over. Space has been provided for several free standing appliances and a window overlooks the rear garden, in addition to a further high level pillar box window to the side. Beyond here is an inner lobby which has external access, and also provides access to the bathroom. This comprises of a panelled bath, low level wc and pedestal wash hand basin, with a skylight illuminating the room from above.

Moving upstairs the spacious landing gives way to all the accommodation on this level, the master bedroom of which nestles to the front elevation and has the benefit of some built in wardrobe space. Of the remaining two bedrooms, one occupies the front and extends to double proportions, whilst the other looks across the rear and is a good sized single. They are all serviced by a useful cloakroom which incorporates a low level wc and wash hand basin.

Externally the rear garden is sizeable and packed full of interest with large, shaped borders stocked with an assortment of established plants, shrubs and bushes, whilst lawn surrounds them. Various mature trees dot the plot and the boundary is enclosed by a combination of hedging and fencing.

The village of Clophill is well positioned to cater for the commuter with the M1/A1 motorways both within a 20-minute drive, alternatively there are regular train links into London St Pancras from either Flitwick or Harlington platforms, taking a matter of 35/40 minutes respectively. There is a local convenience store and several well-established eateries within walking distance, further and more substantial amenities can be found in Ampthill offering a selection of small individually owned shops, hairdressers, and a Waitrose Store. The area is renowned for its autonomous schooling at all levels including Redborne Academy, there is also a local pick up for the Bedford Harpur Trust schools. There are various public footpaths and bridleways within a short distance from the property.
