Description

Why buy this home?

When a family chooses to stay somewhere for more than 30 years, it's usually because they've found something special. The space to grow, the privacy to enjoy, the room for children to become adults and a location they never wanted to leave. That's exactly the story of this home on The Kiplings. For over three decades it has been the backdrop to family life and now, for the first time in many years, it's ready for someone new to write the next chapter.

Positioned on a generous plot along this private road just off Gooseberry Hill, the property offers the sort of space that's becoming increasingly difficult to find. A large driveway, double garage, four well proportioned bedrooms and a layout designed around family living make it easy to see why the current owners stayed for so long.

Step through the front door and you'll immediately appreciate the space on offer. The entrance hall sits at the centre of the home and provides access to each of the principal ground floor rooms. The study offers an ideal work from home space and also provides internal access to the double garage, complete with a useful loft storage area above and the convenience of an electric garage door.

The lounge is undoubtedly one of the standout rooms, enjoying direct access to the rear garden through patio doors. Alongside this, the separate dining room flows into the conservatory, creating a sociable arrangement that works equally well for family life and entertaining guests.

The kitchen provides ample cupboard and worktop space, with a separate utility room helping to keep day to day life organised. Side access offers further practicality. The property benefits from a recently updated boiler and electrics, offering added reassurance for the next owners.

Upstairs are four generously proportioned bedrooms, three of which are comfortable doubles. The principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and an en suite shower room, whilst additional built in storage can be found in two further bedrooms.

Outside, the property enjoys a generous plot with mature gardens, ample driveway parking and a double garage. Offered to the market chain free, this is a rare opportunity to secure a substantial family home in a location where properties seldom become available.

Location

The Kiplings enjoys a private position just off Gooseberry Hill, one of North Luton's most established residential areas. The location strikes an excellent balance between convenience and family living, with a range of well regarded schools nearby including Icknield Primary School, The Meads Primary School, Bramingham Primary School and Icknield High School. Cardinal Newman School is also within easy reach for secondary education.

For day to day shopping, residents are well served by nearby amenities including Sainsbury's, Marks & Spencer, ALDI, Lidl and Limbury Mead Shops, which offers a Tesco Express, fish and chip shop and a range of other everyday amenities, all just a short drive away.

For commuters, Leagrave railway station is approximately 2 miles away and provides direct Thameslink services into London St Pancras, making the area popular with those travelling into the capital. The property also benefits from excellent road connections via Junctions 11 and 11A of the M1 motorway, whilst Luton town centre and London Luton Airport are both easily accessible. The nearest bus stop is just a short walk from Gooseberry Hill, providing convenient public transport links across the town.
