Sollars Way, Houghton Conquest, Bedfordshire, MK45

This superb three bedroom detached bungalow occupies a particularly attractive position on the fringes of the village, combining stylis
h, well proportioned accommodation with a delightful leafy outlook to the front. The property has been thoughtfully maintained and improved, creating a home that blends comfort, practicality and modern convenience.

Approach to the home is via a wide hardstanding driveway which comfortably provides parking for several vehicles. Neatly tended planting and hedging soften the frontage, whilst directly ahead sits a single garage accessed by an up and over door, providing further secure parking or useful storage space.

Stepping inside, a welcoming entrance hall sits at the heart of the bungalow, with all principal rooms radiating from it, ensuring a natural flow and ease of access throughout.

Set to the right hand side, the kitchen/breakfast room has been designed to an excellent standard with a comprehensive range of dove grey Shaker style wall and base units, complemented by contrasting work surfaces that provide ample preparation space. Several upgraded, integrated appliances are incorporated seamlessly, whilst additional provision has been made for freestanding goods. A window to the front aspect offers a pleasant outlook, making the space both practical for day to day use and a comfortable environment for informal dining.

The principal reception room extends across part of the rear of the property and provides an exceptional living and entertaining space. Measuring an impressive 20’3” by 16’7” at its maximum points, the lounge/diner features attractive dark wood flooring and recessed ceiling spotlights, lending a modern, contemporary feel. The proportions allow for both a dedicated seating area and a defined dining zone, creating a highly sociable layout. Two sets of French doors open directly onto the rear garden, flooding the room with natural light and offering an excellent connection between inside and out – perfect for family gatherings or summer entertaining.

The master bedroom is also positioned to the rear of the property and has been tastefully decorated in neutral tones. A range of fitted wardrobes provide excellent storage, while a stylish en-suite adds a touch of luxury. The en-suite comprises a fully tiled shower enclosure, low-level WC and pedestal wash hand basin, finished with a heated towel rail and neutral tiling.

The two additional bedrooms are located to the front of the bungalow and are well proportioned. The larger of the two extends to 12’1” by 10’8” and could serve as a generous double bedroom or versatile guest room, while the third measures 12’1” by 6’10”, making it equally suitable as a child’s bedroom, nursery or study, depending on individual requirements. Serving both rooms is a beautifully appointed shower room incorporating a double walk in enclosure, low level WC and wash hand basin. Contemporary tiling has been applied to the splashback areas, while recessed lighting, a shaver socket and obscure window complete the look.

Externally, the rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to provide an attractive yet highly usable outdoor space. Immediately adjacent to the home is a sizeable paved patio area, perfectly positioned for seating and outdoor dining, with the benefit of an electrically operated awning overhead to provide shade on warmer days. The remainder of the garden is laid mainly to lawn, interspersed with a well stocked border containing a variety of established shrubs and bushes which add both colour and interest throughout the seasons. A greenhouse, set on a hardstanding base, offers scope for those with green fingers, while an oversized shed provides excellent storage for tools and equipment. The boundary is enclosed by timber panel fencing, ensuring a good degree of privacy, with a gated side access linking back to the front of the property.

The village of Houghton Conquest is located between the Bedfordshire towns of Ampthill and Bedford, both of which are approximately five miles from the property and offer extensive amenities, Waitrose stores, schooling and local parks. The village itself has two established pub/eateries, a local store that incorporates a sub post office, village hall, Houghton Conquest lower school and various public footpaths and bridleways. Links into the London St Pancras from Bedford take approximately forty minutes, alternatively the Flitwick platform which is six miles from the property has a regular service taking as little as thirty-five minutes.
