Deerhound Crescent, Houghton Regis, Dunstable, LU5

Why buy this home?

Situated on the edge of Houghton Regis with excellent road access to the M1 and Milton Keynes, this exceptional detached family home, built by Storey Homes in 2023, has flexible living spaces designed to suit a growing family’s needs. Four spacious double bedrooms provide comfortable areas for children to unwind or for guests to stay, while three versatile reception rooms, including a dedicated lounge, offer adaptable space for a playroom, home office or a formal dining area.

You want an entrance hall to give a great first impression of your home and this one certainly does that. It is expansive which allows plenty of room to navigate push chairs or simply gives more space when getting ready to leave the house. A centralised staircase adds a touch of grandeur, while a spacious understairs storage cupboard provides the perfect spot to neatly store shoes, coats, and items not used daily.

When the home was originally designed, the first reception room on the right-hand side of the entrance hall was intended to be a formal dining room. However, thanks to the spacious kitchen/diner, the owners didn’t feel the need for a separate dining area and have instead transformed this room into a playroom to keep toys and games neatly organised in one dedicated space.

A generous living room offers flexibility, allowing for either separate settees or a corner sofa, catering to your preferences. The layout provides all the room required for family catch ups at the end of the day, while the neutral finishes allow you to accessorise as you see fit. A set of French doors lead out to the garden creating a smooth flow between indoor and outdoor spaces, perfect for supervising children at play or entertaining guests.

The dedicated study offers an ideal workspace for those working from home, providing ample room for all your essentials without feeling cramped. Dual-aspect windows allow in lots of natural light, boosting energy levels throughout the day, while also framing a lovely view of the green space opposite.

The impressive kitchen/diner is designed to accommodate family life and effortless entertaining. This spacious, light filled room offers a seamless flow between cooking, dining, and socialising, making it the true heart of the home. With its dark grey cabinetry, ample worktop space, and impressive central island, the kitchen offers a stylish and practical setting for cooking and enjoying casual family meals. Integrated appliances include an oven, gas hob, extractor fan, dishwasher and fridge/freezer, while natural light floods the room through multiple windows and French doors that open directly onto the rear garden. Adjacent to the kitchen, the dining area offers plenty of room for family meals around a generous table, and a cozy bay window nook provides a quiet spot for reading or relaxing. The size of the room means the whole family can spend time together without feeling divided across separate spaces.

Off the kitchen, you’ll find a separate utility room, a real asset for any busy household. This dedicated space caters to all your laundry needs, helping to keep the main living areas clutter free. With room for both a washing machine and tumble dryer, plus additional storage for cleaning products and household essentials, everything stays neatly organised and easily accessible. A door provides access to the rear garden.

All too often, gardens in newer homes can feel a little cramped, but this one offers a generous, sun-drenched space perfect for children to run, play, and explore. The expansive lawn presents endless opportunities for family games, gardening projects, or simply basking in the sunshine. A large patio area provides an ideal setting for family meals, barbecues, and outdoor gatherings. The current owners have utilised the space behind the garage to create a shaded seating area beneath a pergola, perfect for relaxing on warm summer days. Raised metal planters add a stylish touch and offer the chance to introduce your own bursts of colour. A gate leads to driveway parking, while a door gives direct access to the garage, which benefits from power, lighting, and potential for additional storage in the eaves.

Upstairs, all accommodation is arranged around a spacious landing that also provides access to a large storage cupboard, ideal for keeping towels and bed sheets neatly tucked away. The main bedroom sits at the front of the home and is an excellent size, comfortably accommodating a super king-size bed along with all the furniture you would need. It benefits from its own en-suite shower room, finished with marble-effect tiling to the floor and splash areas, and fitted with a walk-in shower cubicle, a sink with vanity storage, and a WC. The second bedroom is also a superb sized and could easily serve as the main bedroom should you prefer to sleep at the rear of the property. It, too, can take a super king-size bed with bedside tables and it has a large, fitted wardrobe and dual-aspect windows. The third bedroom is another comfortable double, currently set up as a nursery, while the fourth bedroom, presently used as a dressing room, is comparable in size to bedroom three, meaning there should be few disagreements over who gets which room!

Finally, the family bathroom is fitted with a bath that has a shower over it, a wash hand basin and a toilet. It also has a window to allow in natural ventilation.
