An immaculate three bedroom detached, freehold coach house ideal as a first-time purchase, an investment, for a downsizer or a family, positioned on the doorstep of The Forest Centre, Marston Moretaine’s favourite spot.
At 12 years old, the property is modern, and has the feel of a brand new home. The current owners have lived here since 2018, putting in work to improve upon what was here before, and to high standards. Inside, the property has had a facelift, with full redecoration, new doors, skirting, carpets and laminate. It’s white, bright, and neutral for new owners to add their own style.
The main living accommodation is open plan, with space to zone into lounge and dining areas. It’s dual aspect for lots of light, and there’s also a generous storage cupboard in one corner. The kitchen is separate, keeping smells at bay and dirty dishes out of sight. There are wood-effect cupboards and drawers, dark laminate worktops, a sink and drainer, an integrated oven and hob, and gaps for a fridge/freezer and a washing machine. There’s also capacity to install bar seating for casual breakfasts. The combi boiler is in the kitchen, and this has been serviced every year. There are four A-rated solar panels on the roof, with battery storage in the loft, accessed via hatch in the hallway.
Next to the kitchen is the bathroom, in pristine condition and fitted with a three-piece suite of a wc, sink, and a panelled bath with a shower over and a glass screen. All three bedrooms are double in size, with soft carpeting, and ample room for wardrobes.
Not long after moving in, the garage was converted into a 3rd bedroom. This is a flexible room now, with the option to use as an office, a gym, or somewhere for older children to have their independence. It’s well insulated and has heating, and natural light flows in through the wide window at the front. Although the garage is now living space, the owners have created plenty of storage elsewhere, including substantial outdoor storage, and the very large cupboard off the office, which they use as a pantry. This cupboard has the potential to be turned into an en suite.
A big benefit here is the garden. The owners have appreciated outdoor space for their son, and this is low maintenance, freeing up time to spend together as a family. It’s enclosed for pets too. There’s gravel to one end, artificial lawn in the middle, and the veranda at the back. This covered seating area allows for enjoying the garden all year round, and to bring work, reading and relaxing outside on warm days. There’s also an outside tap for watering the plants and washing the car. The allocated parking space is right by the front door, and there’s further parking on Gold Furlong.
Being behind secure gates has given the owners peace of mind, and their son has been able to play safely outside on his bike or ride-on car. It’s felt like living in a detached house, with no attached neighbours in front, behind, or to either side, and just two garages and parking areas below.
The owners moved to Marston Moretaine to raise a family, looking to be near greenspace, as well as places to get out and about. The development here has parks, the primary school is steps away, as is Marston Beans coffee shop and community hub, and the wider village has a vast array of amenities. A favourite for all ages is The Forest Centre, with its surrounding parkland, woodland and lakes.
Marston Moretaine is a short drive of Ampthill and Woburn market towns, Bedford town centre and Milton Keynes city centre, and London is easily commutable by rail from Bedford or Flitwick.
Whether stepping onto, up or down the ladder, we know you’ll be very happy here at this coach house in Marston Moretaine.
