5 Bedroom Detached House

Property Insight:

Occupying a large corner plot on a tranquil cul-de-sac, this spacious property has an enviable setting and is located in the popular market town of Shefford.  Decorated in a traditional style throughout, this much-loved and well-maintained family home is in need of some aesthetic updating but offers a generous amount of living space and a garden of incredible proportions.

The property feels wonderfully spacious from the moment you step inside its large and wonderfully light entrance hall.  An understairs cupboard provides handy storage and there is plenty of space to add furniture.  Leading off to your right is the kitchen/breakfast room.  Decorated in a warm colour palette, the kitchen is well-proportioned and features a generous amount of storage space in traditionally styled wooden cabinetry with contrasting grey work surfaces.  The electric oven and gas hob are integrated and have a wall-mounted, stainless steel extractor hood above.  A window and glazed doors to the conservatory introduce plenty of natural light and it’s a lovely setting for relaxed family meals.

The conservatory provides a large and versatile space – either as an additional reception room or perhaps a playroom with garden access - with blinds to help keep the room shady in summer.  It’s the perfect spot for relaxing and enjoying the garden views over the warmer months.  The dining room is accessed via the hallway and provides the ideal space for entertaining friends or enjoying special family meals together.  A large window introduces plenty of light and there’s ample room for a dining table and chairs, in addition to other furniture.

The double aspect sitting room is generously proportioned and benefits from large windows, as well as French doors which open on to the garden, facilitating indoor/outdoor living during the summer months.  A fireplace with wooden surround provides a lovely focal point, as well as the promise of cosy winter’s evenings spent in front of the fire.  The sitting room has plenty of space for comfy sofas and it provides an elegant setting for relaxing with family and friends.  Adjacent to the sitting room is a large family room, which also benefits from good proportions and plenty of light.  It’s a highly versatile space which could easily be repurposed as a playroom, games room or even a large home office.  Completing the downstairs is a utility which has space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, plus a handy cloakroom – both indispensable additions for any busy family.

Upstairs, the spacious galleried landing leads off to five double bedrooms.  The principal bedroom and guest bedroom are both good size double rooms, each with an ensuite shower room featuring a traditional white suite.  Both bedrooms have ample space for furniture.  The remaining three bedrooms are also all double rooms with fitted carpets and plenty of space.    The family bathroom features traditional white sanitaryware – including a full-size bath and neutral toned floor and wall tiles. 

Outside, the south-west facing garden is secluded, exceptionally spacious and mainly laid to lawn (ideal for children to play and especially some football practice!)  A patio area provides the perfect space for outdoor entertaining and there are several mature trees to provide interest and shade.  A sizeable outbuilding provides handy storage and there is a large greenhouse which is perfect for keen gardeners.  To the front of the property is a double garage with a block-paved driveway providing off-street parking.

This exceptionally spacious property offers an incredible opportunity to put your own stamp on and create a remarkable family home.  We highly recommend a viewing before it’s snapped up.
