Why buy this home?

Although this property is in a great decorative order throughout, due to its large garden and extension potential (STP) to both the rear and side, it is ideal for someone looking to create their forever home in Woburn.

The entrance hall in this home is an impressive size and gives a great first impression. Oak effect laminate flooring makes for easy cleaning if any muddy or wet footprints are left after a family walk or a trip to the nearby local park. The flooring flows through into the dining area and lounge and there are two storage cupboards which are the ideal place to store shoes and coats.

A cosy lounge is the first room that you come to from the hall and has all the space you need in which to relax after a long day. There is enough space for both a two- and three-seater sofa and a coffee table. The two large windows allow natural light to illuminate the room. A built-in cupboard provides additional storage for things that are not in everyday use. Decorated to a high standard with neutral colours that complement the flooring, there is a calming feel to this room which every lounge should have.

The dining area leads on from the lounge and there is ample space for a six-seater dining table for family meals. Light is plentiful in this home, as with the lounge there are two windows that look out on to the rear garden. If you were to extend across the back of the property, creating a large kitchen/diner, the current dining area could be knocked through into the lounge to create one big family room. The dining space has its own door that leads out to the entrance hall should you want to block off the door into the lounge to create more space in there.

A well-proportioned kitchen with ample storage units, worktop space and your own pantry finishes the downstairs accommodation. The sink is positioned perfectly to look out at the garden when doing the washing up. There is an integral electric oven with a gas hob over it and space for a mashing machine. Tiled flooring compliments the units and give it a lovely country style look.

Upstairs there are two double bedrooms and a further single. The third bedroom would make a brilliant nursery, or an office should one be required. Overlooking the back garden, the second bedroom easily takes a double bed and has enough space for all the bedroom furniture you would need. If it were to be used for a young child with a single bed, there would be enough floor space to play without feeling cramped. As with the two other bedrooms the main one has exposed floorboards which have been rubbed down and varnished. Although it currently has a double bed in it, this room would take a king-size bed and furniture and would not feel stifled.

The private rear garden is a great size and a sun lover’s or a gardener’s dream as it faces southwest. An immaculate lawn is enclosed by mature hedges, with a raised flower bed and a beautiful Japanese maple tree that turns a spectacular deep red in the autumn. You’ll be the envy of all your friends and family and hosting them over the warmer months will be a real pleasure. The large patio is the place to setup the BBQ and garden furniture and catch up over a drink whilst enjoying the last of the evening’s sunshine. There is an outside toilet and a brick-built outhouse which is currently used for storage but could be used as a workshop if needed.

At the front of the house there is driveway parking for at least three cars, with further lawned areas adding to the kerb appeal. Hedges provide privacy and there is a gate that leads to the rear of the property.
