Franklin Close, Marston Moretaine, Bedfordshire, MK43

This superb, extended three bedroom end of terrace home occupies an attractive position and offers spacious, stylish accommodation finished to an exceptionally high standard throughout.

The property is approached via a footpath leading to the front door, with a shingled side area adding to its appeal. Once inside, you’re immediately greeted by an entrance porch, with stairs rising directly to the first floor and access to the principal reception room on the left.

The living room is an impressive space, measuring 23’4" by 13’4" at its widest points, allowing excellent flexibility for furniture arrangement. Decorated in neutral tones and hues, with a striking feature wall, the room also benefits from a window overlooking the front elevation, drawing in an abundance of natural light.

Beyond here lies the kitchen/diner, fitted with a comprehensive range of floor and wall mounted units complemented by wooden work surfaces over, whilst a number of integrated appliances have been seamlessly incorporated into the design. To the rear, the dining area spans the width of the property and creates a wonderful sociable and family friendly space. A beautiful sloped ceiling, enhanced by Velux windows, adds character and light, while there is ample room for a dining table and chairs, as well as the added benefit of a separate breakfast bar. French doors open directly onto the rear garden.

Upstairs, the first floor landing provides access to all three bedrooms and the family bathroom. The principal bedroom is positioned at the front of the property and measures 12’4" by 9’9". Of the remaining bedrooms, one overlooks the rear and extends to 10’3" by 9’9", while the third sits alongside at the front.

These rooms are served by a stylish bathroom, fitted with a panelled bath, concealed cistern WC, and wash hand basin set within a vanity unit. Modern tiling enhances the space, while a heated towel rail and obscure window complete the finish.

Externally, the rear garden has been thoughtfully designed to create an attractive and low maintenance outdoor space. A good sized paved patio immediately adjoins the house, ideal for relaxing or entertaining, while beyond this an artificial lawn is framed by additional paving and set beneath a pergola. The garden is enclosed by a combination of timber fencing and brick walling, with gated rear access leading to a further hardstanding area. Here, a garage is located within a nearby block, with parking directly in front.
