Grange Gardens, Toddington, Bedfordshire, LU5

This rarely available, extended four double bedroom detached home nestles within an attractive cul-de-sac close to the heart of the village and offers well proportioned, flexible accommodation throughout. It also provides excellent scope to extend or enlarge (STPP).

Approached via a hardstanding driveway, the home benefits from a garage directly ahead accessed via an up and over door. Once inside, you’re greeted by a porch which, in turn, opens into the entrance hall with a staircase rising to the first floor and a useful cloakroom. To the left hand side sits the kitchen, fitted with a comprehensive range of floor and wall units complemented by darker contrasting work surfaces. There’s space for various freestanding appliances (several of which we understand will be included in the sale), while a breakfast bar provides a convenient spot for informal dining. Parallel to here is a separate utility room offering further storage and space for additional appliances.

Across the other side of the hallway lies the principal reception room — a generous living room measuring 19’1” by 12’5”, featuring a beautiful open fire and twin front facing windows that flood the space with natural light. Completing the ground floor is a separate dining room, comfortably accommodating a table and chairs to create an ideal family or entertaining area. French doors lead directly out to the garden.

Upstairs, the first-floor landing provides access to all accommodation on this level. The master bedroom occupies the front elevation and benefits from an extensive range of built in wardrobes. Of the remaining three double bedrooms, two enjoy views over the rear garden, while the fourth sits alongside the master at the front. They are served by a family bathroom comprising a panelled bath with shower and glass screen over, a concealed cistern WC, and a wash hand basin set into a vanity unit. Tiled splashbacks and an obscure glazed window complete the look.

Externally, the rear garden is of a generous size and has been thoughtfully designed with a pathway leading to a patio area — perfect for relaxing or entertaining. To the side, the remainder of the garden is laid mainly to lawn with deep shingled borders hosting an array of mature plants, shrubs, and bushes. The boundary is enclosed by a combination of brick walling and timber fencing, ensuring a good degree of privacy.

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.
