Kemsley Drive, Leighton Buzzard LU7

Why buy this home?

If you are thinking of purchasing a brand-new home, then this beautifully presented 'Warwick' built in 2020 is sure to be a consideration. It benefits from a recently landscaped garden, a partially converted garage providing a versatile additional room, 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 red bricks, timber cladding and leaded windows add a touch of character giving the home instant curb appeal and a lovely 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. The wood effect Amtico flooring flows through from the hallway and a large window to the front allows in plenty of light.

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. 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 key benefits of choosing a resale property over a new build is the advantage of an already established garden and this one certainly delivers. Landscaped just six months ago, the garden features a large paved patio that’s perfect for outdoor dining and entertaining. Beyond the patio lies a well-maintained lawn, offering plenty of space to relax or play. At the rear, a timber pergola creates a private seating area - ideal for unwinding, hosting guests, or enjoying a cool spot away from the sun. Raised planting beds add an opportunity to get creative with flowers or vegetables, while a gate conveniently leads to the driveway parking.

The garage has been partially converted to create an office with more than enough space for two people to work from home. This would also make a fantastic home salon or games room. There is still storage room for bikes and seasonal items at the front of the garage.

Another key feature of this design of home is that it comes with three double 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 which has been fitted with shelving for extra storage. The en-suite features a double shower, a wash hand basin, and a W/C, alongside a window for ventilation, plus a heated towel rail for added warmth. 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 a nursery, but it would take a double bed if required.

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