3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Fortuna Mead, Leighton Buzzard LU7

Why buy this home?

If you like the idea of living in a modern home but not being right in the middle of a built-up and busy development, then this could be the home for you. Located on a peaceful no-through road within the popular Roman Gate development, this well-presented property is ready for its next owner to make their memories in it.

The living room is a generous size, offering plenty of options to arrange your furniture, whether you prefer a corner sofa like the current owners or a traditional sofa set. There’s ample space to include a dining table alongside the seating, ideal if you like to eat separate from the kitchen and avoid cooking smells. Dual aspect windows allow in plenty of light, while a large, uninterrupted wall provides the perfect place to create a media unit, serving as a stylish focal point that keeps the space neat and organised.

At the rear of the home, the kitchen/diner opens out to the garden, making summer socialising effortless. Sleek cream units paired with warm wood-style surfaces create a space that feels both fresh and homely. The well designed, u-shaped kitchen layout offers excellent storage and ample workspace, complemented by integrated appliances and a stainless-steel cooker with matching extractor. A breakfast bar creates an ideal spot for casual dining or catching up over coffee, while floor tiles and chrome fittings add a refined, modern touch. Alongside the breakfast bar there is also space to have round dining, perfect for larger family gatherings. This kitchen/diner provides a superb setting whether cooking, dining or entertaining.

Finally there is downstairs toilet on the ground floor adding convenience to everyday life.

All too often rear gardens on modern homes can be overlooked but this landscaped one is a private space to enjoy. A generous patio creates the perfect spot for al-fresco dining or unwinding with friends over a drink, while the small, easy-to-maintain lawn is ideal for those who prefer low-upkeep greenery. A gate provides rear access to the home and leads to the driveway parking.

A set of French doors lead you to the garage where the current owners currently have a projector in and use it as somewhere to watch the football away from the main house. Please note that it has not been converted and could be used as a garage if required.

Upstairs there are three bedrooms and a family bathroom. The main bedroom is at the front of the property and has space to comfortably fit a king-size bed with bedside tables. There is a fitted wardrobe, and it has an en-suite shower room. The second bedroom is a comfortable double and the third bedroom, which is a good size single bedroom, has room for a bed and the current owners have a desk in here too.
