Semi-detached house for sale in Ramsay Drive, Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire LU7

Overview

Why buy this home?

Due to the condition of it, this home built in 2021 is somewhere you can unpack and enjoy immediately without the need to do any work. It would suit someone looking to take their first steps on the property ladder or downsizing for a simpler life.

The first thing you will notice as you enter the home is that the W/C is accessed via the entrance hall, offering a more traditional layout compared to other modern designs where it is often accessed from the kitchen/diner. The W/C is spacious, and the current owners have utilised this space for coat storage, while a cleverly designed shelfing system in the entrance hall is the perfect place for shoes.

The living room is a lovely size and currently has a large corner sofa in it which works wonderfully in the space. There is also room for additional seating and furniture without the room feeling cramped. However, due to the size of the room it would comfortably take separate sofas and all the additional furniture you might need if this was your preference. There is a large window to the front of the living room providing plenty of natural light and oak effect laminate flooring flows through the entirety of the ground floor giving this modern home a classic look.

At the back of the home is the kitchen/diner which is fitted with white units and black marble effect worksurfaces. As it is fitted in a horseshoe layout, there is plenty of worktop space for food preparation, so if you enjoy cooking together as a couple or with the family, then this is a kitchen where you can do that without being on top of each other. Fitted appliances include a fridge/freezer, an oven, a gas hob with an extractor over it, and a washer/dryer. The dining area has enough space for a good-sized table and the laminate flooring makes cleaning up after dinner time easy. Being at the rear of the property, this allows parents to keep an eye on children playing when they are in the garden. It also means that the garden can become an extension of the home if you are having a gathering.

The rear garden is a blank canvas for someone to come in and make their own. It has a lawn which is bordered by a stone path that leads to an al-fresco dining area, perfectly positioned to get the last of the evening sun. There is a gate that leads to the front of the property and the driveway parking.

Upstairs there are three bedrooms and a family bathroom. The main bedroom is at the rear of the property and has space to comfortably fit a king-size bed with bedside tables. There is a wardrobe, and it has an en-suite shower room. The second bedroom is a comfortable double and has a fitted wardrobe. The third bedroom, which is a single bedroom, is currently being used as an office, however, this would make a lovely child’s bedroom or nursery if required. (Note – the third bedroom has been virtually furnished in the pictures.)

The main bathroom, which is fully tiled around the bath, has an overhead shower with glass shower screen and there is a window that provides natural ventilation in addition to an extractor fan.

Outside, there is driveway parking for two vehicles with plenty of visitor spaces nearby for when friends and family come to visit.
Please note – the sellers have had planning permission granted for a single side and rear extension.
