Lane and Bennetts are delighted to present this amazing, fully
renovated detached and extended bungalow, positioned in a quiet
lane, surrounded by open countryside and nature. Sitting on a
private landscaped and mature plot approaching 13 of an acre The
Spinney is an unbeatable place to live.
The current owners have sympathetically and intuitively
re-modelled and refurbished this now stylishly presented home to
offer the benefits of a new property whilst retaining the charm of
homes located in the idyllic Bedfordshire Village.
The infrastructure has almost entirely been replaced -
completely new oil central heating system, wood effect
double-glazed windows, replastered walls and ceilings, full loft
insulation levels, full rewiring and complete redecoration. There
is a brand-new fitted kitchen breakfast and dining space, new
utility and cloakroom, doors frames and skirting.
A sizable half carriage driveway, with space for six or more
vehicles alights at the stepped entrance porch, opening to a
delightfully reclaimed wood block entrance hall, and a wide open
square arch leads into a desirable dining space to seat 10, with
dual aspect windows and triple hung over table lighting. A deep
granite breakfast bar leads you through to the designer fitted
kitchen, with integral white goods, dishwasher, twin stainless
steel sink, wall mounted double oven and grill, and separate
microwave,, complemented by granite work surfaces and soft closed
doors and cupboards.
Entering the inner hall, again with beautiful wood block
flooring you are drawn into the sizable sitting room which boasts a
handsome limestone fireplace and hearth and large picture window.
Through the internal part glazed door, passes through to a bright
sizable garden room, with its French doors opening onto the patio,
the beautiful lily pond and the landscaped West facing rear garden.
To the left of this room, another tiled corridor brings you to the
cloakroom, utility room and boiler room. At the end of this passage
you will find a large second bedroom with dual aspect windows to
front and rear (currently used as a studio ). This room benefits
from an independent entrance to allow access for running a business
from home
Turning back to the main property, you will find a large luxury
bathroom, complete with deep fill bath, a separate walk-in shower
unit, pedestal hand basin, WC with fitted coupling, completed by a
chrome heated towel rail, under floor heating and clever electric
rise and fall skylight. Next is a bright single bedroom, which also
benefits from a rise and fall electric skylight, and the guest
double bedroom with lovely garden views to wake to.
A noteworthy facet of this property is the spacious main
bedroom, offering a spacious with open plan dressing area and
concealed wardrobes, leading to the en suite bathroom, walk-in
shower unit, with pedestal hand basin and matching WC, and heated
towel rail, with open countryside views.
The property also benefits from a large loft space, over a third
of which is already boarded and with panelled walls, desk and
workspace, with lighting, heat and eaves storage space. There is
ample opportunity to enlarge this loft space to create additional
rooms with velux or dormer windows to rear, subject to
planning.
THE EXTERIOR
To the front, the aforementioned block paved crescent carriage
driveway is complemented by lawned areas, border planting hedging
and countryside to both front, rear and side aspects. A wooden gate
allows access to the side and rear of the plot where you will see
first the West facing formal landscape grounds featuring a patio
overlooking a lovely lily pond, specimen trees, shrubbery and
border planting, and shale & bark filled beds. Behind that, through
the trees lies a “secret” garden with its pergola and brick-built
BBQ area and to the left, the neighbouring pond, mature trees and
stables. Further still, the concrete path leads to an open area
with a shed and greenhouse. Behind the apple trees, at the rear
boundary lies an enchanting small stream which flows down the right
hand side of the plot flowing from the autumn until the end of
spring. The clear night skies are perfect for star gazing too.
We think there‘s much to love and appreciate in this fabulous
property so why not make that call today and book yourself a
viewing?
