Detached house for sale in Chapel Lane, Willington, Bedford MK44

This is a wonderful opportunity to acquire a substantial detached period home dating back to 1901 with later additions that have created accommodation that is truly flexible, both inside and out.

Electrically operated gates open up on to a block paved driveway that can accommodate several vehicles and gives access to the garage. From here there is a choice of ‘front doors’ providing access to two different entrance halls.

The ground floor includes a marvellous fitted kitchen that is open plan with a living area featuring a wood burner ideal for cosy winter evenings whilst at the same time two sets of French doors provide excellent access to the garden during long hot summers! This is a real hub for the home.

A lovely snug sits off the living area and there is also a dining room close by.

The major flexibility of the accommodation can be seen in the area that accommodates a luxurious bathroom suite with an independent sauna and adjacent cloakroom, a snug and a cinema cum family room. This area could easily be turned in to an annex for a dependent relative.

On the first floor a spacious landing enables access to the large master bedroom with a beautifully refitted en suite that has a dressing room off. There is a further guest room with en suite, another double bedroom and a good single bedroom.

The property is completely double glazed and there is gas fired central heating.

The gardens are to the side and rear and are a haven for an entertaining time with substantial decked seating areas, a large log cabin currently set up as a gym, but that could have multi functions, and a hot tub. There are also lawned areas and well stocked borders. For when it is time to take life more seriously there is an outbuilding that is currently used as a home office.

The integral garage has fitted units, an electrically operated door and a tiled floor and could be used in a number of ways.

This is a really lovely property with no onward chain.
