Property description

A modern individual five double bedroom detached property, in a private gated position with landscaped gardens of approximately 0.44 acres with a heated outdoor swimming pool and outdoor leisure area.

The property has been significantly extended and now has 3,170 sq. ft. of accommodation over two floors. It has also been reconfigured internally with contemporary features including a Tom Howley Shaker style kitchen/breakfast/dining room which is a particular feature of the house. There is also a separate utility room and two cloakrooms. To the rear of the house is a games/family room which could be adapted and used as a cinema room. The first floor has five bedrooms. The principal bedroom has a high vaulted ceiling, a walk-in wardrobe and an en suite bathroom. Two other bedrooms have en suite bath or shower rooms, one with Villeroy and Boch sanitaryware, and the other two bedrooms share a family shower room. Secure timber gates lead to the in-out granite chip driveway which provides parking and access to the double garage which has oak double doors, power connected and fitted cupboards and shelving. A gated side access leads to the rear garden.

Reception Rooms

The sitting room has character features including deep moulded ceiling covings and a Limestone fireplace housing a Living Flame gas fire. Two pairs of glazed French doors open onto the rear terrace with views of the landscaped gardens. The office has a built-in storage cupboard. The games/family room has exposed oak flooring and a sound system with speakers in the ceiling. Three sets of glazed French doors lead to the landscaped gardens and pool area.

Kitchen/Breakfast/Dining Room

The kitchen has been refitted in a custom built range of Tom Howley cabinets including a central island with a breakfast bar. Quartz work surfaces incorporate a deep Belfast sink with Quooker boiling water tap. Appliances include a Britannia range cooker in a deep recess with extractor over, a dishwasher, and full height fridge, freezer and wine chiller. Porcelain floor tiles continue into the dining area, which has bi-fold doors to the rear terrace, and the adjoining utility room.

Rear Garden

The gardens have been designed and landscaped with an emphasis on outdoor entertaining and have a high level of screening. They include an extensive paved outdoor entertaining area and the remainder is principally lawned with established borders and a variety of mature trees. The focal point of the garden is the heated outdoor swimming pool with a decked area to the rear and a large summerhouse by Dunster House.

Situation and Schooling

Wootton has amenities including a post office, a library, doctors' surgery, men's hairdresser, three public houses/restaurants, various takeaway food shops, community centres, sports facilities, a Tesco express and a Sainsbury's local. It is also on a bus route to Bedford. Road links include a new bypass with access to the A1 and the M1. Bedford station, with services to St. Pancras, is about 6 miles away. The property is in catchment for Wootton Lower and Upper Schools which are both rated good by Ofsted.
