This detached barn-style residence showcases space, light and luxury, set in an exclusive gated development in a quiet village. There’s everything you could want, with amazing accommodation, a south-facing garden, plus a driveway and a double garage.

The Property

Local developer Resolution Homes constructed the timber-clad homes here at Church Farm Court just six years ago. No.1 was the show home, and the owners have upheld its immaculate interiors. For peace of mind, there are still four years left on the guarantee, and the property has a Verisure alarm. Designed for modern family life, there’s superb space on offer, in a sensible layout, with a balance of open-plan areas and separate, flexible rooms.

The main living area has real wow factor, spread over grand proportions and with lots of natural light. This is a spectacular space to entertain friends, just as much as it is to spend time together as a family. There are French doors onto the garden for going al fresco, and a Sonos speaker system for that party atmosphere. The open-plan area has porcelain tiled flooring, and the entire downstairs has underfloor heating for chilly days. (The property is served by LPG with eight 47kg cylinders and automatic refilling, and a Nu-Heat two-zoned heating system.)

The kitchen is fitted with timeless Shaker-style cabinetry topped with Silestone surfacing. There’s also a huge island with a double sink, plus a large pantry cupboard with lighting. Integrated appliances are all Neff, including an induction hob, dual ovens, a microwave and a warming drawer, a full-height fridge and freezer, a dishwasher and a wine cooler. The sink has a Quooker tap that provides filtered cold, boiling and sparkling water. The utility room has a Franke sink, gaps for a washing machine and a tumble dryer, and allows for drying laundry out of sight.

Families have a substantial lounge for snuggling up for film nights, children have a dedicated playroom (which could be an office or a fifth bedroom), and adults can retire to the formal sitting room for after-dinner drinks by the Gazco gas fire. Both the playroom and the sitting room have French doors onto the garden to unite indoors with out.

Upstairs, bright, beautiful accommodation continues. Up the wide turning staircase is the spacious landing. A hatch from here gives access to the loft, which the owners have boarded for extra storage if needed.

The primary suite is private to one side. This is light from Velux windows (all the Velux windows are self-closing and app-controlled), airy from a vaulted ceiling, and has fitted John Lewis wardrobes and a matching dressing table. Joining the bedroom is a dressing room, as well as a fabulous en suite, sectioned into showering, soaking and sink areas. There are three further double bedrooms, one with ample eaves storage and an en suite shower room, and the other two sharing the contemporary four-piece bathroom. There’s also a downstairs cloakroom.

The Plot

Located at the entrance to the development, the property sits on a corner plot, with an east-facing side garden for morning light, and a south-facing rear garden for as much sun as possible.

The rear garden is easy maintenance, needing less work and granting you more time to enjoy it, with outdoor lighting for evenings outside. The shaped lawn is super neat, there’s plenty of patio for sitting outside, and high hedges afford privacy across the back. Paving extends to a secluded pergola-covered area, and this has gated access around to the front.

For parking, there’s a driveway for three of four cars, in front of the double garage, which the owners use for storage and as a gym. There are electric doors to the front of the garage, and a side door giving access from the garden. (The garage is leasehold, with 994 years remaining and no ground rent.) There are visitor/overflow spaces available on the development.

The Position

Church Farm Court is tucked away behind electric gates, with homes set around a central courtyard. There are only five plots here, and residents are part of an elite micro-community. (There’s a management company for the road, with a c.£360pa service charge.)

The village location is sleepy, encompassed by Bedfordshire landscapes and with long country walks on the doorstep. Roxton has amenities including playing fields, a village hall, a café and a garden centre, and there are family-friendly days out nearby such as Shuttleworth and Woburn Safari Park. The village has an Ofsted ‘Good’ primary school, and independent education at Bedford’s Harpur Trust or Kimbolton School is within easy reach.

Roxton is a short drive of the county town of Bedford and the market town of St Neots. These, along with Sandy to the south, offer a wide range of amenities, eateries and entertainment, as well as quick commuter rail services into the capital. Roxton is also just off the A1 and between Milton Keynes and Cambridge.
