The heart of the home – a stunning 6.7m kitchen/dining/family room

Undoubtedly one of the property's standout features is the impressive rear extension, creating a wonderfully bright, airy and sociable kitchen/dining/family room.

Enjoying natural light from two aspects, patio doors and a skylight, this generous space overlooks and opens directly onto the southwest-facing garden, making it ideal for everyday family living, entertaining friends or simply relaxing while enjoying views of the garden.

The well-equipped kitchen features an eye-level double oven, five-ring gas hob with stainless steel extractor, ceramic sink and drainer, and an integrated wine cooler. There is also space and plumbing for a dishwasher and washing machine.

An excellent range of wall and base units provides plentiful storage, while polished floor tiles complement the contemporary finish.

Flexible living space for growing families

In addition to the impressive kitchen/dining/family room, the ground floor offers separate living and family rooms, providing valuable flexibility for relaxing, entertaining or enjoying some peace and quiet.

For buyers who favour open-plan living, there is potential, subject to any necessary consents and structural approval, to combine the living and family rooms to create an impressive space measuring over 7m.

A separate ground-floor office provides an ideal work-from-home environment but could equally serve as a sixth bedroom, making the property particularly appealing to larger families, those seeking multigenerational living or anyone requiring adaptable accommodation.

A convenient downstairs cloakroom completes the ground floor.

Five bedrooms across two upper floors

The first floor offers three bedrooms, including two generous doubles and a single bedroom. The principal bedroom enjoys one of the property's attractive original bow windows, adding character and charm.

A modern family bathroom serves this floor.

The second floor was created through a loft conversion completed in 2019, providing two further double bedrooms and a modern shower room.

This additional accommodation is particularly appealing to families with older children, visiting guests or those simply wanting more privacy and flexibility.

Stylish glazed balustrades with wooden handrails provide an attractive contemporary feature to the staircases connecting the three floors.

A generous southwest-facing garden

Another major attraction is the spacious southwest-facing rear garden, offering plenty of room for outdoor dining, entertaining, children's activities and gardening.

Enjoying afternoon and evening sunshine, the garden provides a wonderful outdoor extension of the family living space.

Predominantly laid to lawn, it also features a greenhouse and three timber sheds, providing useful storage and gardening facilities.

Double gates provide access towards the front of the property, where a low-maintenance, walled front garden complements the attractive 1930s exterior.

A private driveway provides off-road parking for two cars, with the added convenience of an installed electric vehicle charging point.

Further practical benefits include gas central heating with Hive remote heating controls.

A convenient Biggleswade location – ideal for families and commuters
