The Orchard, Houghton Conquest, Bedfordshire, MK45

A superb three bedroom semi detached home occupying a tucked away position at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac within the sought-after village of Houghton Conquest, enjoying beautiful, uninterrupted views across open fields and greenery to the rear.

Approach to the property meanders down The Orchard onto a hardstanding, block paved driveway providing parking for two vehicles, with the garage directly ahead benefitting from a sleek white up and over door. A matching front door opens into the hallway, which has stairs leading to the first floor accommodation, whilst to the left-hand side sits a useful cloakroom.

Positioned to the rear of the home is the impressive kitchen/dining room, measuring over 19ft in length and fitted with a comprehensive range of light-coloured floor and wall mounted units complemented by darker, speckled work surfaces. Several integrated appliances have been neatly incorporated, including an electric hob, under counter oven and stainless steel extractor hood, with additional space for a freestanding dishwasher and washing machine. To one end, ample room has been provided for a dining table and chairs, creating a sociable, family orientated space. The room is finished with recessed ceiling lighting and both a window and door overlooking the garden.

Completing the ground floor is the principal reception room, the living room, which has been decorated in neutral, stylish tones and enjoys an abundance of natural daylight through two windows and French doors that open directly into the rear garden.

Moving upstairs, the first floor landing gives access to all accommodation. The master bedroom enjoys a dual aspect orientation and extends to more than 16ft in length, whilst also benefitting from its own en-suite, comprising a shower enclosure, low level wc and wash hand basin. Complementary splashback tiling, wood effect flooring and an obscure window add a contemporary touch. Of the two remaining bedrooms, one overlooks the front aspect and the other the rear, and both are served by the family bathroom. This features a three-piece suite incorporating a panelled bath with tap fed attachment over, low level wc and wash hand basin, finished with half height tiling, a slim contrasting border and recessed ceiling lighting.

Externally, the rear garden is deceptively generous and would, in our opinion, lend itself well to future enlargement or extension (subject to the necessary planning permissions or consents). At present, it offers a superb patio area, ideal for entertaining or relaxing, with a particularly large lawn beyond. To one side, a gravelled section provides further seating or a low maintenance space, all enclosed by quality timber fencing with gated rear access.

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.
