4 VILLA GARDENS

A splendid detached property with gated entrance standing in sheltered and secluded landscaped gardens comprising some half an acre. Having been built some 19 years ago this imposing property has matured with some distinction and stands impressively at the end of a paved driveway.

The present owners have incorporated some personal modifications which are of particular benefit to the property. This fine family home has flexible accommodation arranged over two floors. On the ground floor there are 4 generously proportioned reception rooms which are all accessed from a magnificent reception hall with a very impressive “Butterfly” staircase. A delightful garden room stands to the rear of the property and is enjoyed by all.

Seller Insight The location of this property, close to good local schools and within easy travelling distance by dedicated bus service to the

Harpur Trust Schools in Bedford, first attracted us to 4 Villa Gardens say the owners of this superb contemporary family home.

We bought the house at plastering stage, so enabling us to finish the interior to our own specifications, making it our own by extending and enhancing the living accommodation and décor to create our ideal home. All rooms are generously sized and grouped around a central staircase with galleried landing so no space is wasted. Even the smallest of the 5 bedrooms is a double room.

Much care has also gone into the outside space. The half-acre gardens front and rear were professionally landscaped to designs prepared by Frosts of Woburn Sands. We are constantly making improvements and there is now a cedar greenhouse and potting area. There is a formal fish pond as well as a wild life pond. Borders are planted with low maintenance shrubs which provide year round colour and interest.

The property is ideally located being within 5 minutes walking distance from the Thameslink railway station with frequent trains to London St Pancras (47 minutes) by fast train. We have everything we need just a few minutes from our door including doctors, dentist, post office, bank, supermarkets and other shops and services. There is plenty of open countryside to enjoy and easy access to the M1 motorway with Luton Airport 25 minutes away by car.

The plot is safe and secure with no overlooking and can easily accommodate several vehicles.

Flitwick is well served for indoor and outdoor activities having a modern leisure centre, football and cricket clubs, running club, local golf courses and gardeners association. Flitwick Moor is an SSSI and a lovely place to walk.

Having a large informal dining area as well as a separate dining room, this is a brilliant house for entertaining whatever the occasion. The glass covered outdoor area allows for al fresco occasions right into the autumn. We have often hosted Halloween, bonfire night and November family birthdays outdoors.”*

The kitchen/informal dining area/conservatory is bright and airy with all year round views of the garden.”

The kitchen would satisfy the most aspiring of cooks with the most extensive range of fitted furniture and integrated appliances. The design provides for an extensive range of bespoke wall and floor cabinets and a central island unit all with an extravagance of workspace.

There are five double bedrooms, two of which have en suite facilities and a stunning family bathroom on the first floor.

The gardens are a delight and justify the time spent and dedicated hard work put in over the years by the owners. The new residents will reap so much benefit from the greenfingered efforts of our sellers.

We shall miss the amount of space this property affords and the beautiful gardens with mature plants and formal koi pond.”

In addition there is a detached wing that incorporates a double width garage, home office, gym/recreation room and a ground floor studio though usage is entirely flexible.
