A beautifully presented two bedroom bungalow in the sought after village of Great Brickhill. The bungalow has been refurbished throughout by the current owners and features a modern open plan living area with a high specification new kitchen. The bungalow has two double bedrooms as well as a newly fitted shower-room. There is the added benefit of having two spacious private gardens (one to the front and one to the rear) with a garden room, workshop and veranda. No upper chain.
If This Was Your Home... - You'll be enjoying all the love and care that's been poured into the property by the current owners. Nicely set back from the road, a path runs between two immaculate front lawns to your front door.
Step inside for the modest entrance hall, with your huge, open plan kitchen/lounge on the left. The lounge area sits to the front, basking in light from the oversized front window and with handsome blonde hardwood flowing underfoot. An array of recessed spotlights glimmer overhead throughout.
The blonde hardwood gives way to distressed flagstones in the kitchen, with twin flanks of pristine white cabinets top and bottom. Timber worktops and a rustic splashback lie in between. You also have lovely views of your amazing garden. More of that later.
All in all, the entire space comes in at an impressive 280 square feet, tri-aspect for plenty of natural light. A superbly bright, smart and flexible spot for hosting.
Your bathroom leads off the main space, next door to your secondary bedroom. A sleek shower room, with oversized, curvaceous walk-in rainfall shower cubicle, this is another recently-reimagined spot, tiled from floor-to-ceiling in large format smoky cream and finished in striking onyx trim. There's also a vintage pedestal sink.
Next door, your secondary bedroom is the smaller of the two, but still a solid double at 100 square feet. There's more of that honey hued hardwood flooring underfoot and a broad window set frames lovely garden views. We'll step out there in a moment.
Head back to the entrance hall via the kitchen/lounge to find your principal bedroom. 120 square feet, with cream walls, recessed spotlights overhead and blonde hardwood flooring underfoot. A splendid solace.
Outside now, where your new abode is surrounded to the rear by elegantly landscaped gardens – also accessible via the side thanks to your semi-detached status. We'll start at the back.
To the rear, low maintenance expanses of gravel rise to the back fence, segmented by a lush strip of lawn and ending in a generous veranda. Substantial and sheltered from the elements, this is the perfect spot for barbecues.
Next door is your large timber workshop, fully powered and specced out for a huge range of DIY projects. There's nonetheless plenty of flexibility to develop this space any way you wish.
A second decking area sits just below the principal bedroom window, ideal for morning coffee.
Follow the greenery round to the front, where the landscaping artistry really comes into its own in the ‘secret garden’. Immaculate decked pathways descend between stretches of lawn, gravel and beds to a lovely raised seating area set against lush screening greenery.
Across from here there's yet another seating area, bespoke timber benches face each other below a large pergola. You have so many viewpoints to enjoy the tremendous garden from.
One last addition. Your garden is also home to a second timber outhouse, this one more of a summerhouse, finished in soft pale green and currently in use as a home gym. Once again though, it's ideal for turning to all manner of uses.
In terms of parking the vendors park on Lower Way generally always at the foot of the steps that lead to this beautiful bungalow. If access is required for heavy objects there is access from the garages that are located on Pound Hill and the current owner regularly uses this access with ease.
Your Neighbourhood - Outside and you're just three minutes on foot from the heart of Great Brickhill, as marked by The Old Red Lion Pub. Dating back to 1577, these days The Red Lion is much-loved for fine food created with locally-sourced ingredients. Stone baked pizzas are a speciality, ideally enjoyed while taking in the beer garden's splendid views of the Bucks countryside.
Great Brickhill itself has a lengthy history, the lands passing through the hands of several flavours of gentry over the centuries. Most notably, the Earl of Essex used the village to station troops for a month during the English Civil War. They were, happily, not called upon to fight.
Current or prospective parents will be pleased to find the village's own school, the 'Outstanding' High Ash CofE School, is just a seven minute walk.
Heading further afield you're surrounded by countryside, with the nearest large town being Leighton Buzzard at a mere ten minutes drive. Here you can catch regular fast trains and be whisked to London Euston in just thirty minutes, a journey time many Londoners would envy.
Finally, the endless shopping and leisure facilities of Milton Keynes are just a little further, around twelve minutes door-to-door.
