Why buy this home?

Bungalows are often sought after for their generous plots, and this one is no exception. Accessed through a set of gates, the driveway comfortably accommodates at least three cars, while two lawn areas on either side of the drive provide outdoor space to enjoy and make your own, excellent for those that love gardening.

A composite door with glazed side and top lights welcomes you into a bright split-level entrance hall, setting the tone for the spacious accommodation within. From here, all rooms are accessed, ensuring a smooth flow throughout the home.

The sociable and spacious L-shaped lounge/diner has clearly defined zones and provides an area where you can arrange your furniture to suit your lifestyle. Its generous proportions ensure there’s room for everyone to come together, whether for everyday living or hosting family gatherings. Well-presented and decorated with neutral colours, it allows you to accessorise in a way that suits your tastes. A window to the side and sliding patio doors opening on to the rear garden, allow plenty of natural light into the room.

Situated next to the dining area, the kitchen features a practical horseshoe layout, offering plenty of storage units and worktop space. There is room for an oven, a washing machine, and a fridge/freezer. A breakfast bar adds a casual dining spot, perfect for a quick meal or enjoying your morning coffee, and a door leads out to the side access.

The bungalow features three double bedrooms and a single bedroom, offering versatile spaces that can be adapted to suit your needs. If you did not need all four bedrooms, you could use one or more of them as a home office, a craft room, a games room, or an additional living area. This home provides the flexibility to create a layout that works for you. (Please note that bedrooms two, three and four have been virtually furnished.)

A fully tiled bathroom features a classic three-piece white suite, comprising a W/C, a wash hand basin, and a panel bath.

In addition to the family bathroom, there is a separate W/C, providing extra convenience and helping to avoid any queues during busy mornings or when guests are visiting.

The rear garden, facing southeast, enjoys plenty of sunshine throughout the day. It has a patio that leads on to a lawn bordered by mature shrubs. Currently a blank canvas, the garden is ready for someone with green fingers to put their own stamp on it and create a space to enjoy and entertain in during the warmer months.

More about the location...

Linslade is an English town located on the Bedfordshire side of the Bedfordshire-Buckinghamshire border (and roughly a third-way between London and Birmingham). It borders the town of Leighton Buzzard, with which it forms the civil parish of Leighton-Linslade.

Linslade has no high street. Small, family run shops are clustered at the 'Centre of Linslade', where three arterial roads converge to cross the canal and river. (Note, however, that Linslade's 'Centre' is not its geographical centre.) Many of these buildings are Victorian in origin, as are all pubs, and the Hunt Hotel.

In recent years the area between the river and the canal has been redeveloped – adding Waitrose, Tesco, Aldi, and Homebase superstores. Other high-street stores and boutique shops, restaurants, bakery and butchers can be found in Leighton; or, failing that, at Milton Keynes. There are also corner shops.

Bedfordshire operates a three-tier education system, with Lower-, Middle and Upper Schools. Linslade has three Lower Schools (Linslade Lower, Southcott Lower, and Greenleas Lower) distributed relatively evenly across town; with a Middle School (Linslade Middle) and an Upper school (The Cedars) located opposite each other, on the edge of town.

The principal Leighton-Linslade facilities within Linslade are Tiddenfoot Leisure Centre, which includes a swimming pool and indoor sports courts; Leighton Buzzard Golf Club and Leighton Buzzard railway station.

Linslade has two semi-wild park areas. Linslade Wood (colloquially called Bluebell Wood) is a mature woodland dating back to at least the 16th century. Tiddenfoot Pit, a former quarry, turned into a lake and wildlife area. Both are managed by Greensands Trust. Stockgrove Country Park and Rushmere Country Park are nearby.

Additional there are parks suitable for teenagers to kick around a football, and for dogs to run about, as well as fenced off play areas for young children, containing slides and swings.

In 1963 the Great Train Robbery took place at a site near Bridego Bridge, between the villages of Cheddington and Linslade. Every time a Great Train Robber was caught law dictated that they had to be brought back to the small court house at Linslade to be charged.
