3 bed detached house for sale

Shackleton Grove, Leighton Buzzard LU7

Why buy this home?

If you are thinking of purchasing a brand-new home, then this one built in 2020 is sure to be a consideration. It has a landscaped garden, comes without the inevitable snagging list and most importantly, it is ready to move into now.

While some modern homes can feel a little plain from the outside, this one stands out for all the right reasons. The white pebble-dashed exterior and Georgian-style windows add a touch of character and elegance, giving the home instant curb appeal and a welcoming first impression.

The living room is the first room you come to from the entrance hall, and it immediately sets a welcoming tone. It’s a spacious and versatile area, decorated in soft, neutral colours that create a sense of warmth while still allowing you to add your own style. Whether you're relaxing after a busy day, enjoying time with family, or hosting friends, this is a room that suits any occasion. The current owners have a large corner sofa and an additional armchair, with plenty of space left over — it never feels crowded. The Amtico flooring flows through from the hallway, and with light streaming in from dual-aspect windows, the room feels bright and airy throughout the day.

On the right-hand side of the entrance hall there is a W/C which is essential for every family home.

Undoubtedly, the standout feature of this home is the impressive 18ft kitchen/diner that spans the width of the house, a space you'll be proud to entertain in. The current owners upgraded the kitchen when they purchased it, adding a central island that provides additional storage and doubles as a spot for quick meals, casual chats, or a place for children to do their homework. The kitchen is fitted with shaker-style units that bring character to the modern design, along with integrated appliances including a double oven, dishwasher, and fridge/freezer. A dedicated utility cupboard is neatly tucked away to house the washing machine and tumble dryer, freeing up space elsewhere in the kitchen. The dining area currently accommodates a round table comfortably, but there’s plenty of room for a larger table if desired. Amtico flooring continues seamlessly through from the entrance hall, providing a sense of continuity while also being practical and easy to maintain - ideal for busy family life. French doors lead out the rear garden, allowing parents to keep an eye on children playing or if hosting, anyone in the kitchen can still be a part of the gathering when it is in the garden.

One of the big advantages of choosing a resale property over a new build is that the garden is often already established, and that’s certainly true here. The outdoor space is a simple design which has a patio area leading onto a well-kept lawn. A path takes you down to a handy shed, and a rear gate offers easy access. The garden is enclosed by a brick wall, adding both character and a sense of seclusion, making it a lovely, private spot for children to play or for simply enjoying the sunshine in peace.

Another key feature of this design of home is that it comes with three excellent sized bedrooms. The main bedroom which is at the front of the home has a fitted wardrobe and comfortably fits a super king-sized bed with extra room for all the furniture you would require. There is also an additional alcove where you could have another wardrobe if you needed one. The en-suite has a double shower, a wash hand basin and a W/C. The second bedroom is also a lovely size and has also benefits from a fitted wardrobe, which frees up valuable floor space. This makes it ideal for a teenager wanting to add a desk, gaming setup, or extra seating for when their friends come over. The third bedroom is currently being used as an office but if needed as a bedroom, it would take a double bed – please note that this room has been virtually furnished.

The bathroom is fitted with a bath that has a shower attachment over it, a wash hand basin and a w/c.

The property has driveway parking for two cars with plenty of extra visitor spaces nearby.
