Studley Road, Wootton, MK43

49 Studley Road is a distinctive three-bedroom detached home occupying an established position within the popular Bedfordshire village of Wootton. The property has been extensively improved during the current owners’ tenure, with particular attention given to the quality and flexibility of the accommodation, resulting in a well-presented home extending to approximately 1,094 sq ft.

The house has an attractive and individual façade, characterised by its steeply pitched roof, dormer window and Tudor-style detailing. The frontage has also been redesigned during the current ownership to provide off-road parking for approximately three vehicles, complemented by low-maintenance gravelled areas and established planting.

Ground Floor

The property is approached via an entrance door positioned to the side of the house, opening into a small entrance hallway with doors providing access to the sitting/dining room and cloakroom.

Extending to approximately 23'7" in length, this is an impressive and generously proportioned reception space, providing ample room for separate sitting and dining areas. A fireplace creates a natural focal point, while a window to the front provides natural light and glazed French doors at the rear open directly onto the terrace and garden.

From the sitting/dining room, access leads through to the remainder of the ground-floor accommodation.

Positioned to the rear of the house is the kitchen, which was replaced in approximately 2023. It is fitted with a range of contemporary cabinetry and complementary work surfaces, together with integrated appliances including a fridge and dishwasher. Tiled flooring runs throughout, while a window provides natural light and a door gives direct access to the side and rear of the property.

The former integral garage was converted approximately eight years ago, with Building Regulations approval obtained, to create a substantial additional reception room. Currently arranged as a breakfast/utility room, this has significantly increased the versatility of the ground floor and incorporates extensive fitted storage, with the utility appliances discreetly housed within the cabinetry. Its proportions would also lend themselves to alternative uses including a family room, playroom or home office.

First Floor

The first-floor landing provides access to three well-proportioned bedrooms and two shower rooms.

The principal bedroom is a comfortable double room with a broad window and a substantial range of fitted mirrored wardrobes. It also benefits from its own contemporary en-suite shower room, fitted with a large shower enclosure, wash basin with storage beneath, WC, heated towel rail and tiled finishes.

Bedroom two is another good-sized double room, while bedroom three has partially sloping ceilings which add character to the space. The room provides ample space for both a bed and desk and would work equally well as a bedroom, study or home-working space.

Serving the remaining bedrooms is a separate modern shower room, fitted with a generous walk-in shower, wash basin with vanity storage and WC. Both this room and the principal en suite were replaced by the current owners approximately ten years ago.

The property has continued to benefit from investment in recent years, including the installation of a new boiler in November 2024 and replacement double-glazed windows throughout in May 2025.

Outside

The frontage has been adapted to maximise parking and now provides off-road space for approximately three vehicles. A combination of gravelled landscaping, established shrubs and a pathway leading to the entrance creates an attractive but relatively low-maintenance approach.

To the rear is a particularly well-presented garden which forms an important feature of the property. French doors from the sitting/dining room open directly onto a generous paved terrace, creating an excellent space for outdoor seating and entertaining.

Beyond the terrace is a central area of lawn, complemented by established planting and mature boundary screening which provides a pleasing degree of privacy. A further gravelled seating area provides space for outdoor dining, while a garden shed offers useful storage.

The garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to provide a balance between lawn, planting and usable seating areas, with the current owners having renewed the patio and front pathway in approximately 2022.
