Property description

A modern three bedroom detached chalet style property with a self contained one bedroom annexe, in a rural position at the end of a long tree lined drive with approximately 1.5 acres of gardens and an enclosed paddock.

The property was originally constructed to an individual design in the 1970s. In the main part of the house there are three separate reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room, a laundry room, and a cloakroom, with three double bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor. The dual aspect sitting room has a feature stone fireplace and the dining room has glazed double doors which lead to the paved patio in the rear garden. The annexe has doors from the side garden into a hall with a cloakroom, and at the rear into a utility room. There is also a door from the main house into the annexe kitchen so the accommodation could be incorporated as part of the main house if desired. The annexe also has a dual aspect sitting room on the ground floor, and an en suite bedroom on the first floor. The drive has parking and access to the 19 ft 9 by 17 ft 8 garage which has a remotely operated door. Stairs at the rear lead up to a versatile storage area which could be converted for various uses.

Kitchen/Breakfast Room and Laundry Room

The open plan kitchen/breakfast room has a range of pine fronted units with complementary work surfaces incorporating a double sink and drainer. Integrated appliances include an electric oven and a hob with an extractor over, and there is space and plumbing for additional appliances. The breakfast area has fitted cupboards and a serving hatch. The adjoining laundry room has matching units and work surfaces, a sink, and space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. An oil fired boiler serves the heating and hot water systems.

Formal Gardens

The formal gardens surround the property and include lawns and established borders with mature trees and shrubs. Immediately to the rear of the property is an extensive paved outdoor entertaining area. The driveway serves this property only but also incorporates a bridleway accessing the surrounding fields and countryside. Leading off the driveway is the access to the fully enclosed paddock which is enclosed by mature trees.

Situation and Schooling

Wilden is a quiet village with its own small school and farm shop. It is about 5 miles from Bedford, which has commuter access to the A1 and Cambridge, and a bypass to M1 junction 13 and Milton Keynes. The area has a new Waitrose supermarket and other superstores, plus Bedfordu2019s Harpur Trust Schools, museum and art gallery, and landscaped riverside gardens.
