We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Situated on the edge of the modern and thriving Thorn development in Houghton Regis, formerly known as Bidwell West, this impressive four-bedroom detached home on Piggots Mead offers generous and versatile living accommodation throughout, making it an ideal choice for growing families or those looking for a spacious home in one of the area's newest and most sought-after neighbourhoods.
The property benefits from a private driveway providing off-road parking for two vehicles, along with a detached garage offering additional storage or secure parking, providing both convenience and practicality from the moment you arrive.
Upon entering the home, you are welcomed by a bright hallway which provides access to all principal rooms.
To the left, the dual aspect lounge is a warm and inviting space, centred around a gas fireplace and bathed in natural light from windows to two aspects, creating a truly comfortable room to relax in.
At the end of the hallway, the property opens into a stunning and generously proportioned kitchen diner, the real heart of the home.
With ample space for a dining table as well as a breakfast bar, this is a wonderful space for both everyday family life and entertaining.
Patio doors lead directly out to the beautifully landscaped rear garden, which enjoys a private and non-overlooked outlook, a rare and much sought-after feature.
Off the kitchen, a practical utility room provides further storage and workspace, with the added convenience of a door directly onto the driveway, along with a downstairs W/C.
Also accessed from the hallway is a further versatile reception room, currently used as a home office but equally suited as a formal dining room, playroom, snug, or even a ground floor bedroom, offering real flexibility to suit any household.
Upstairs, a bright and spacious landing benefits from a window flooding the area with natural light, setting the tone for the first floor.
The property offers four well-proportioned bedrooms, three of which are doubles.
The master bedroom benefits from its own en-suite, while a large and well-appointed family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms. Externally, the landscaped rear garden is a genuine highlight.
Private, non-overlooked and beautifully presented, it offers a wonderful outdoor space for families and entertaining alike.
The Thorn development is surrounded by stunning green open spaces offering excellent routes for leisurely walks, and the nearby Dunstable Downs and Houghton Hall Park provide further outstanding countryside right on the doorstep.
The town offers a wide range of amenities including a large Morrisons supermarket, leisure centre, schools, medical practices and library, with the Luton-Dunstable Busway providing rapid transit connections to both Luton and Dunstable.
For commuters, Junction 11a of the M1 is within easy reach, providing swift access to London, Milton Keynes and beyond.
This is a fantastic opportunity to acquire a substantial detached family home on one of Houghton Regis's most modern and vibrant developments. Early viewing is highly recommended. Quote ref nb 1604
