Messor Gardens, Leighton Buzzard, LU7

Why buy this home?

Nestled at the top of a no-through road on the popular Roman Gate development, this townhouse offers a level of privacy rarely found in modern developments. Presented in excellent condition throughout, it also has the bonus of a larger than average garden for homes of this type.

The entrance hall not only offers a buffer between the front door and the living room it also gives you much-needed space to shake off the outdoors, as well as storage for your shoes and coats.

Leading on from the entrance hall is the living room, which is a bright and versatile area, perfect for relaxing. There’s plenty of room for a large sofa, additional seating, and a coffee table, while the neutral decor provides a blank canvas to personalise the space. There is even room to fit a dining table in here if you preferred a living/diner. A cupboard under the stairs provides storage.

The kitchen/diner looks out over the garden and has a set of French doors providing access. It’s fitted with contemporary wall and base units and has a built-in electric oven and a gas hob which has a cooker hood over it. There is also space for a dining table, a fridge freezer and a washing machine.

In between the kitchen/diner and the living room is a small hall that includes the stairs leading up to the first floor and access to the much-needed downstairs toilet.

The garden is a nice size, offering plenty of space for relaxation and entertaining. With the bonus of two patio areas, you have the flexibility to set up garden furniture in either the sunshine or the shade, depending on your preference. The easily maintained lawn is ideal for those who aren’t green fingered, while a barked area provides the perfect spot for children's play equipment. A gate provides rear access and leads you to the driveway parking. Please note that the garden currently has a small pond in it.

One of the great appeals of townhouses is their generously sized bedrooms, and this home is no exception. The first floor has two of the three double bedrooms, along with the family bathroom. The larger of the two is positioned at the front of the property, but with both being similar in size, there shouldn’t be too many disagreements between children when choosing rooms.

This style of home also offers fantastic flexibility. If you do not need three bedrooms, it allows one of these rooms to be used as a games room, a craft room, or a home office – the possibilities are endless.
The family bathroom has a bath with a shower over it, a wash hand basin, and a W/C. Neutral tiling keeps it looking fresh, while the all-important window provides natural ventilation.

Another set of stairs leads to the impressive main bedroom suite, with a useful storage cupboard at the top. This floor offers a sense of privacy, separate from the rest of the home. The room itself is spacious, comfortably accommodating a super king-size bed along with all the bedroom furniture you might need. The dormer window creates a versatile nook which could be used as a dressing area or somewhere to house a desk for those who work from home.

This bedroom is serviced by an en-suite featuring a shower cubicle, a wash hand basin, and a toilet.

There is driveway parking for two vehicles with visitors bays available nearby.
