Grange Gardens, Toddington, Bedfordshire, LU5

This rarely available four bedroom detached home occupies an attractive cul-de-sac within convenient reach of the vibrant village centre and incorporates well proportioned, versatile internal accommodation. The property now requires some level of updating/modernisation throughout.

Approach to the home is via a path to the front door, whilst lawn and various bushes add a splash of greenery. Once inside the property itself you’re immediately greeted by the entrance hall which has a staircase directly ahead leading to the first floor accommodation as well as a useful cloakroom. To the right hand side, and spanning part of the rear of the home, is the kitchen/breakfast room which has been fitted with a comprehensive range of floor and wall mounted units with darker contrasting work surfaces over. Space has been made available for various free standing appliances, whilst a breakfast bar allows for informal dining and French doors open into the garden. Nestled to the front aspect is the dining room which comfortably accommodates ample space for a table and chairs, creating a real family/sociable area. Across the other side of the hallway is the principal reception room, the living room, which commands impressive dimensions, in this case 18’8ft by 11’10ft, making for flexible furniture placement. A brick fireplace makes the perfect focal point to the room and a large window ensures the room is flooded with an abundance of natural daylight. Completing this level is a second sitting/family room or study depending on requirements which extends to 15’1ft by 8’2ft.

Moving upstairs the first floor landing gives way to all the accommodation on this level - four particularly generous bedrooms, two of which sit to the front and the remaining two which overlook the garden to the rear. They are serviced by a bathroom which incorporates a panelled bath with a shower unit and glass screen positioned over, low level wc and a circular basin mounted onto a silver stand. Blue tiling adorns the walls and the look is finished with recessed ceiling spotlights, a heated towel rail and obscure window.

Externally the rear garden is a nice size with a large block paved patio as you step out, perfect for relaxing or entertaining. A slightly raised lawn is surrounded by shrubs and bushes, whilst the boundary is enclosed by a combination of brick wall and timber fencing with gated side access. Beyond here is a driveway providing a space for one vehicle and, ahead, a garage accessed by an up and over door.

It is further enhanced by being offered for sale with the advantage of no upper chain.

Toddington is a beautiful village designed and built around a large central green which provides a delightful focal point for the almost 5,000 residents that call it home. It is positioned five miles north-north-west of Luton, four miles north of Dunstable and six miles southwest of Woburn and offers superb commuter access to the M1 as well as the nearby mainline railway stations in Harlington and Flitwick. Dating back to the thirteenth century the village now offers a vibrant, bustling feel, combined with an authentic sense of community, and has a wide range of shops including hairdressers, beauty salon, opticians, and traditional bakers. It is also well served by three public houses, The Oddfellows, The Bell and The Griffin, in addition to Red Chilli offering high quality Indian cuisine. Schooling within the village operates on a three-tier system with St George’s Lower positioned on Manor Road, Parkfields Middle nestled in Park Road itself before moving onto Harlington Upper School located less than three and half miles, or 8 minutes, away, with all having a particularly good reputation.
