Property description

A modern five bedroom detached property with established gardens of just under 0.22 acres in an elevated position set back from the road in a private cul-de-sac of just two other houses.

The property has 2,234 sq. ft. of accommodation over three floors which are accessed by a central spiral staircase. On the ground floor there are three reception rooms including a study at the front which could alternatively be used as a snug/family room, a dual aspect sitting room with a feature fireplace and doors to an outdoor entertaining area, and a dining room which has doors to the kitchen/breakfast room. On the first floor there are four bedrooms, one of which has an en suite and fitted wardrobes. There is also a family bathroom fitted in a modern white suite. The principal bedroom suite occupies the whole of the second floor and has air conditioning and an en suite bathroom. The property is entered via a driveway serving this and the two other neighbouring properties. The driveway provides parking for up to six cars and access to the detached double width garage which has two up and over doors, power connected and eaves storage.

Kitchen/Breakfast Room

The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a range of oak units with granite work surfaces incorporating a one and a half bowl sink and drainer. Integrated appliances include a range style cooker with a canopied extractor, a dishwasher, and a fridge/freezer. The adjoining utility room has base units and space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer.

Principal Bedroom

The principal bedroom has a high vaulted ceiling with exposed timbers, Velux windows to the front, and built in eaves cupboards. The fully tiled en suite bathroom is fitted in a white suite including a deep double curved Jacuzzi bath set into a raised tiled surround, a screened walk-in shower, wash basin and WC. There are inset storage niches with glass shelves, and built-in eaves cupboards.

Rear Garden

A gated access leads to the rear garden which is on two levels and features a porcelain tiled outdoor entertaining area by the house, that leads to a lower lawn. A rockery with steps to the side leads up to the upper lawn which has established shrub borders and mature trees and hedgerow to the rear which backs onto open fields. In the left hand corner of the garden is a further raised paved seating area with a timber framed gazebo which provides a further sheltered seating area. There is a garden shed and to the rear of the garage is an oil storage tank.

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 town has a new Waitrose supermarket and other superstores, plus Bedford’s Harpur Trust Schools, museum and art gallery, and landscaped riverside gardens.
