2 bed end terrace house for sale

Toddington Road, Leighton Buzzard LU7

Why buy this home?

This home was initially thought to have been built for the workers of the nearby farms in the early 20th century and the quaintness of this property is immediately apparent as you walk up to the front door. The steppingstone path leads you through the large front garden past the mature borders filled with shrubs and colourful plants, making you really feel like you are in the countryside. Due to its size, some of the front garden could be changed to provide parking, subject to the relevant permissions.

As soon as you enter the property you can’t help but feel the love that the current owner has put into it. Fresh neutral colours and new carpets throughout, combined with light streaming through windows at both ends of the property, give a wonderful first impression. The open plan downstairs gives a sense of space but is clearly sectioned into different areas. The living area provides enough space for a two-seater sofa and a further two armchairs. The sofa is positioned in front of the feature fireplace giving it a lovely, cosy feel.

Many houses of this style do not have space for a dining table. However, in this home, there is space to fit one meaning you do not have to have your dinner on your laps on the sofa! It also allows you to host friends or family and all be sat together.

The kitchen is modern and overlooks the garden, letting you to take in the uninterrupted views over the fields at the rear of the property. The fitted units are shaker style which are in keeping with the style of the property and the kitchen has been designed to maximise every bit of space with cupboards and drawers. Fitted appliances include a fridge/freezer, an electric oven and hob with an extractor hood over it and there is space for a washing machine. There is laminate flooring in the kitchen and a door leads you out to the rear garden.

Upstairs there are two bedrooms and a re-fitted bathroom. The main bedroom is to the rear overlooking the garden and has the views across the fields. It has a double bed, drawers, a wardrobe and a desk in it and there is still space to move around comfortably. The second bedroom currently features a single bed, drawers, a wardrobe, and a desk. If you were to remove the desk, then this room would also take a double bed.

The bathroom is a good size and has been beautifully re-fitted with a blend of old and new. Subway tiles around the bath are the modern influence but then you have a traditional suite and radiator. A window and an extractor fan ensure that you will not get any condensation and there is a storage cupboard over the stairs.

The garden is simply stunning and gets the sun all day. This is a garden in which you would be proud to host your friends and family and it is ideal for al-fresco dining. The patio area leads down on to the lawn which is surrounded by mature borders and hedges which are low maintenance so perfect for someone who is not a keen gardener. As the property is the end terrace the garden is bigger than the other properties on the row and the fields at the end make it feel even bigger. The fields are often frequented by sheep adding to the countryside feel of this special home.

There is a garage in a small block a short walk away.

This property has previously had subsidence issues which have been rectified by the current owner.

Agent’s note – the property has oil heating.
