THE HOME

Situated on the established Clifton Park development in Clifton, near Shefford, this spacious 40' x 20' Stately Albion Cardigan Cottage offers well-arranged single-storey accommodation, together with an adjoining driveway, garage and enclosed low-maintenance outside space.

The Cardigan Cottage design has a distinctive character of its own, with vaulted ceilings, exposed timber beams and generous room proportions creating a warm, cottage-style atmosphere. Although the home would benefit from some cosmetic updating, it provides an excellent opportunity for its next owner to personalise the interior to their own taste. The accommodation begins with an entrance hall featuring a particularly useful walk-in store providing valuable space for coats, household equipment and general storage.

The generous sitting room measures approximately 14'8" x 13'10" and is filled with natural light through windows on several elevations. A fireplace provides an attractive focal point, while the vaulted ceiling and exposed beams enhance the feeling of space. An air-conditioning unit offers additional comfort during the warmer months, and glazed double doors open onto the raised entrance deck. Double internal doors connect the sitting room with the impressive kitchen and dining room, which extends to approximately 19'7" at its maximum. The doors can be left open to create a sociable flow between the main living spaces or closed when separate rooms are preferred.

The kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of wood-effect cabinets, glazed display cupboards and complementary work surfaces. A peninsula-style breakfast bar provides additional preparation space and a convenient place for informal dining. Further features include an inset sink, fitted hob, extractor and eye-level oven, with space available for additional appliances. The adjoining dining area comfortably accommodates a table and chairs and benefits from a large window, exposed ceiling beams and direct access to the entrance hall. Together, the kitchen and dining areas provide a practical and sociable heart to the home.

There are two well-proportioned bedrooms, both offering room for double beds and benefiting from fitted storage. The main bedroom is complemented by its own en-suite shower room, fitted with a shower enclosure, wash basin and WC.

A separate shower room serves the second bedroom and visiting guests. This has been updated with contemporary wall tiling, a large walk-in shower with glazed screen, vanity wash basin and WC.

Outside, the home occupies an enclosed and predominantly low-maintenance plot. The garden combines gravelled areas with paved seating space, providing room for outdoor furniture without the upkeep associated with a traditional lawn. A raised deck stands beside the sitting room, while fencing and established boundary planting provide a good degree of enclosure.

A block-paved driveway provides off-road parking and leads to the detached garage, measuring approximately 19'6" x 9'1". The garage offers secure parking, workshop potential or valuable additional storage. THE GARAGE IS RENTED FROM THE PARK.

This is a generously proportioned park home with plenty of character, excellent storage and the increasingly rare advantage of its own driveway and detached garage.
