Hookhams Lane, Renhold, MK41

Fully refurbished in 2016 and thoughtfully improved since, this detached four-bedroom property combines architectural flair with everyday functionality. Finished with wooden cladding and crisp render, and featuring aluminium glazing, bifold doors, the home also includes a detached home office, oversized double garage, and countryside views. It’s ideally located for access to Bedford’s Harpur Trust schools, local amenities, and road and rail links to Cambridge, Milton Keynes, and London.

Kitchen and Reception Rooms

At the heart of the home is a spacious and light-filled kitchen and dining area, set beneath a large central roof lantern and framed by full-width aluminium bifold doors that open directly onto a porcelain-tiled rear terrace.

The kitchen is fitted with a sleek range of handleless cabinets in contrasting tones, all topped with quartz worktops, including a large island with integrated Siemens induction hob and undermounted sink. Siemens ovens, an integrated fridge/freezer, dishwasher, and a boiling hot water tap complete the specification. A walk-in pantry sits just off the kitchen, and there is a large utility room providing further workspace and access to the garden.

At the rear of the house, the sitting room connects directly to the kitchen and dining space, creating a fluid and practical layout ideal for modern living. While bifold doors open fully to the rear garden, making this room perfect for entertaining and everyday family life.

To the front of the house, the family room offers a warm and inviting reception space with engineered wood flooring, recessed lighting, and a remote-controlled gas fireplace set behind a glass panel—an architectural feature that brings both interest and comfort.

Bedrooms

The principal suite occupies the entire first floor, accessed via an oak staircase. The bedroom enjoys elevated views across the garden and fields beyond, with glazed double doors opening onto a private balcony with glass balustrade. A walk-in wardrobe and en suite shower room with twin basins complete this peaceful and self-contained retreat.

Three further bedrooms are located on the ground floor. Bedrooms two and three each benefit from their own stylish en suite shower rooms, fitted with floating vanities, illuminated mirrors, and tiled enclosures. Bedroom four is served by a spacious family bathroom with Jack and Jill access, complete with freestanding bath and walk-in shower.

Each bedroom is well-proportioned and naturally bright, with large windows, neutral carpeting, and recessed ceiling lights.

Garden

The house is set behind a wide block-paved driveway with ample parking and a rendered boundary wall offering both privacy and curb appeal. A detached double garage, finished to match the main house with timber barn-style doors, provides excellent storage and workshop potential. The roof has been professionally tested, and the Valliant boiler was serviced in 2025.

The rear garden has been carefully landscaped to suit family life and entertaining. An Italian porcelain-tiled terrace wraps the back of the house, creating zones for outdoor dining, lounging, and relaxing. A covered bar area sits beneath the cantilevered principal suite, ideal for summer gatherings. Beyond, a lawn stretches toward the boundary, lined with established planting.

Set to one side of the garden is a purpose-built detached garden room, currently used as a games room and home office. Constructed to a high standard, it includes full-height windows, glazed access doors, air conditioning, and insulation—making it a truly versatile space for remote working, entertaining, or fitness.
