About
We are delighted to offer for sale for the first and only time, with just one owner since new, this rare and exceptional four bedroom detached family home which is nestled in a highly secluded position off the prestigious Plantation Road.
Occupying an enviable plot that directly adjoins mature woodland, this property combines generous accommodation with a tranquil setting, offering a rare opportunity at the premium end of the market.
The property has been thoughtfully improved throughout over the years by the sole owners and is presented to a high standard. Viewing is highly recommended.
Location: The Glen occupies a highly sought-after and secluded position off Plantation Road, one of Leighton Buzzard’s most prestigious addresses.
This leafy setting combines peace and privacy with convenience, with excellent access to the town centre, local shops and highly regarded schooling.
For commuters, the mainline train station offers fast services to London Euston, and the surrounding countryside, including Rushmere Country Park and the Grand Union Canal, is within easy reach for leisure pursuits.
Ground Floor: The accommodation begins with a welcoming entrance hall laid with quality engineered wood flooring, with stairs rising to the first floor and doors to the principal rooms.
The dual aspect lounge is an outstanding reception space, with a large Inglenook fireplace creating an impressive focal point and sliding patio doors opening to the garden.
The dining room sits to the rear of the property, enjoying lovely views across the garden and woodland beyond, and provides ample space for a family-sized table.
A separate study is positioned nearby, making it ideal for those working from home in need of a quiet workspace.
The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a range of wall and base level units with integrated appliances, a breakfast area, and access to the utility room, which includes matching units, appliance spaces and doors to both the garden and double garage.
Completing the ground floor is a refitted cloakroom/WC. First Floor: The first floor landing is spacious and naturally bright, with access to four well-proportioned bedrooms.
The master bedroom enjoys wonderful rear-facing views over the garden and surrounding woodland, and benefits from built-in wardrobes and a refitted ensuite bathroom.
Bedroom four also enjoys rear-facing woodland views, while bedrooms two and three are generous doubles to the front aspect, with bedroom two including fitted wardrobes.
A family bathroom serves the remaining rooms and is fitted with a modern three piece suite comprising low level WC, pedestal wash hand basin and panel bath with shower over.
Outside: Externally, this home continues to impress.
To the front, a gravelled driveway provides excellent parking provision and leads to the double garage, bordered by a neat array of trees and shrubbery which enhance the sense of privacy.
The rear garden has been beautifully landscaped, with a variety of seating areas, mature lawns, feature pond, timber sheds and established planting which complements the woodland backdrop.
A particularly outstanding feature is the direct access into the woods, offering an unrivalled lifestyle opportunity for those who value outdoor space and natural surroundings.
Agents Note: There is a covenant on the driveway which has a mutual agreement to share the maintenance.
Also there is a neighbourly agreement to share the maintenance of the banks and verges of the driveway. Please ask for further details.
