Overview
Why buy this home?
Standing outside and admiring the property gives you an idea of its charm and size, enticing you to take a look inside. This home has been in the same family for a generation, and it is now time for a new owner to make it their own and create a new set of memories.
After parking the car on the driveway, steps lead you up to the front door which opens into a central entrance hall with two large reception rooms either side.
Originally two rooms, the living room has been opened up to create an impressive space measuring over 21ft in length. Due to its size, you have many options when deciding where your furniture goes and it would quite easily take a dining table as well - allowing you to use the second reception room as something other than a dining room. There is a fireplace in here that could be opened up to house a wood burning stove and the large bay windows allow in plenty of natural light.
The second reception room offers flexibility to the new owner and although it would make a superb dining room, it could also be a playroom, a games room, an office, or even a downstairs bedroom should one be required.
The kitchen is well stocked in terms of storage and looks out onto the rear garden. There is a large understairs cupboard which could be used as a pantry, and tiled flooring means that it is easy to keep clean. There is space for a slimline dishwasher and there is a fitted electric oven and a gas hob.
Off the kitchen there is a room which has been used as a utility area and there is access to the cellar from here. The cellar was used to make and keep wine by the previous owners but if nothing else, it provides a great storage area.
A large lean-to conservatory is at the rear of the property and has been used for many things over the years, including a dining area and somewhere to catch up with friends over a game of cards. It could also be ideal for older children to create their own space away from the main house and give them a bit more independence.
Stepping outside into the rear garden you can tell that it has been well loved. There is a gravelled area where you can position your garden furniture. It is also the ideal place to BBQ as it gets the evening sun. A path leads you through the lawn to an additional parking area in front of an oversized garage and there is an array of fruit trees including fig, plum, and apple, as well as a grape vine.
The garage which has power and light is perfect for someone who likes working on vehicles as it has a pit and heavy-duty hooks attached to the steel beams. Due to its size, it could be converted to a fabulous games room or even potentially an annexe – subject to the relevant permissions.
Upstairs the home has three generous double bedrooms of which the master has an en-suite, a single bedroom with fitted storage and a large family bathroom. As bedrooms two and three are similar in size, there shouldn’t be too many arguments when deciding who gets which room. All the bedrooms benefit from recent decoration and brand-new carpets.
More about the location...
Dunstable is a market town in Bedfordshire steeped in history and has so much to do.
Several parks and open spaces are kept by Central Bedfordshire Council along with Dunstable Leisure Centre. The centre was closed on June 4,2017 to undergo a £20.1 million redevelopment incorporating a brand new town library. 'The Dunstable Centre', which opened in June 2019 (albeit without its swimming pool) includes state-of-the-art leisure facilities, gym, swimming pools and a flexible community space for other public and community services.
Within the town centre is the Grove Theatre, Priory House Heritage Centre and the Priory Church where Henry VIII formalised his divorce from Catherine of Aragon. At the heart of the town sits the Quadrant Shopping Centre, while across High Street North a secondary shopping community named the Eleanor's Cross Shopping Precinct hosts a modern statue commemorating the original cross. Nearby Luton has the Waulud's Bank prehistoric henge and Luton Museum & Art Gallery.
Dunstable Downs, a chalky escarpment outside the town, is a popular site for kite flying, paragliding and hang gliding, while the London Gliding Club provides a base for conventional gliding and other air activities at the bottom of the Downs. Further into the countryside are the open-range Whipsnade Zoo, a garden laid out in the form of a cathedral at Whipsnade Tree Cathedral and the Totternhoe Knolls motte-and-bailey castle.
