Property description

A modern three/four bedroom detached bungalow with driveway parking, a detached storage garage, and front and rear gardens on a corner plot within walking distance of local amenities.

The property has been refurbished by the current owner including a bespoke fitted kitchen/dining room, modern white sanitaryware, and custom built double glazed windows. The 1,678 sq. ft. of accommodation includes an L-shaped entrance hall with a built-in cupboard and a Velux window. The dual aspect sitting room has a log burning stove and sliding doors to the front and rear gardens. An adjoining family room has bi-fold doors to the rear garden and stairs to a first floor study which could be used as a fourth bedroom if required. There are three further bedrooms on the ground floor. The principal bedroom has an en suite bathroom and there is a four piece family bathroom. The front of the property is screened by mature hedgerow with a five bar timber gate opening to a block paved driveway providing parking for four cars. The front garden has a lawned area and a shrub border. Gated access leads to the entrance door and a side passage to the storage garage and rear garden.

Kitchen/Dining Room

The kitchen is fitted in a bespoke range of Shaker style units, including pan drawers and glazed display cabinets, with complementary work surfaces incorporating a sink and drainer. Integrated appliances include an electric double oven, a gas hob with extractor over, and a dishwasher and there is space and plumbing for an American style fridge/freezer and plumbing for a washing machine. Double doors lead to a paved terrace in the rear garden

Rear Garden

The rear garden is enclosed by timber panelled fencing with mature trees and shrubs for screening. It is principally lawned with established borders. A raised paved terrace spans the rear of the bungalow and can be accessed from the kitchen and both reception rooms giving a good flow between the internal and external space for modern family life and entertaining. There are paved steps up to the storage garage, and a gravelled area behind the garage provides a further seating area and houses a log store. There is also a greenhouse which is to remain.

Situation and Schooling

Sharnbrook is a North Bedfordshire village approximately 9 miles north of Bedford which has rail links to London St. Pancras International for commuters. The village has two schools, the larger of which is Sharnbrook Academy and Community College. This school is rated good with outstanding elements by Ofsted, and was attended by the London Marathon winner Paula Radcliffe, who opened the Paula Radcliffe Sharnbrook Community Sports Centre in April 2005. Sharnbrook dates back to Saxon times and there is a Norman church in the village. Village shops include a bakery, farm shop, Co-Op supermarket, newsagent, grocer, pharmacy, florist and a hairdresser.
