Merlin Drive, Sandy, Bedfordshire, SG19

An extremely well presented, extended and upgraded four-bedroom detached family home situated to the edge of this popular development.

Owned from new and improved by the present owners to now boast an impressive extended 30ft Kitchen/Family Room enjoying a wealth of built-in appliances and bi-folding doors opening up the splendour of the landscaped rear gardens.

Three reception rooms, a generous entrance area, two en-suites, full uPVC double glazing and gas fired radiator central heating.

Excellent parking, an attached double size garage and offered with NO UPWARD CHAIN.


A note from the seller:

'If my memory serves me correctly, it was a Sunday afternoon stroll with parents and in-laws to the row of show houses along Kestrel Way. Everyone was impressed with the show house layouts (especially the four-bedroom Oak design), the one we purchased.

The impressive entrance hall leading to five different rooms and staircase is especially good when entertaining larger numbers of guests at parties. Everywhere is spacious, the landing providing access to all of the four very generously sized bedrooms, two with en-suite and built-in wardrobes.

The house is not overlooked but is quietly tucked away in the larger than normal corner plot, offering ample driveway parking for four cars, plus a generously sized double garage with no dividing support wall and just one double garage door.

Twigden (the builder) kindly agreed with my request that the house position be rotated 90', so as to attract the afternoon sun in the rear garden areas. As a result, the house was immediately bought by us. All the boxes were ticked and we officially moved in on 4th July 1997.

Sadly, it is now time to leave this beautiful house, especially as my three children have long since flown the nest and have houses of their own to look after. I hope to sell to a family that will enjoy and cherish living here for as long as I have.'
