About
This wonderful family home was originally built in the 17th Century and has been extended over the years.
The most recent addition is a fabulous vaulted Oak framed room named 'The Barn' which truly enhances the living space and blends effortlessly with the character of the property.
The ground floor accommodation includes a large entrance hall, triple aspect sitting room with feature fireplace, fully fitted kitchen/dining room with 'Shaker' style units, granite worktops and space for a range cooker.
The kitchen is linked to 'The Barn' which has delightful views across the garden and beyond and extends to approximately 25ft in length, and is vaulted with spiral stairs up to a mezzanine floor, currently used as an office.
A utility room and cloak room complete the ground floor. Upstairs there are four bedrooms full of character and enjoying wonderful views.
The principal bedroom has additional Velux windows and benefits from an en-suite shower room. A family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms.
Outside to the front a paved driveway provides abundant off street parking through a car port incorporating valuable storage facilities.
To the rear the beautiful landscaped gardens offer two large patio seating areas, an ornamental pond and stream and manicured lawns stretching down to open countryside with magnificent panoramic views across the valley.
NB. Further development potential is possible subject to planning permission.
The property is located off Common Road in Kensworth, backing onto open countryside, just a short drive from Whipsnade Zoo and the Dunstable Downs.
