The Property - This impressive detached house is a modern interpretation of a traditional hall house. The central entrance hall boasts an attractive turning staircase rising to the galleried landing above; to the left is the sitting room and to the right, the study. The 'pièce de résistance' is the splendid open-plan family room/dining room/kitchen/breakfast room across the rear with two tri-fold doors to the garden. The utility room and cloakroom/WC complete the ground floor. There are no fewer than five bedrooms leading off the galleried landing, two with their own en suite shower room. A superb family bathroom with both shower cubicle and bath serves the other three bedrooms.

Built just five years ago, the house benefits from the latest standards of insulation, double-glazing and highly efficient gas fired central heating system which all contribute to its impressive EPC rating. The boiler is located in the attached double garage and supplies the underfloor heating to the ground floor and the radiators on the first.

The Outside - The house stands in a plot measuring approximately 73' by 64' (22.3m x 19.5m) overall and is approached via a block-paved roadway serving just two properties. Thefront garden is laid to lawn with rose bushes. The private herring-bone brick-paved driveway provides off-street parking for two cars and leads to the attached double garage.

A gate leads to the very pleasant rear garden, which is well screened by 6' walls and fences and is some 32' (9.77m) in depth. It is laid to lawn with paved patio with a gazebo over, herbaceous borders and ornamental shrubs. A west facing gazebo style garden shelter with opening sides and decking floor catches the afternoon and evening sun.

The house fronts on to an extensive and well maintained open green, which wraps around to the side. A service charge of c£300 pa is payable for the maintenance of this area. The house faces south, enjoying views over open farmland.

The Location - The house is located on the southern edge of the attractive Bedfordshire village of Clifton, which dates back to the 10th Century. Conveniently situated close to the border with Hertfordshire and just to the north of the A507, which runs east to west linking the A1(M) and the M1. The village provides good local facilities including a village stores/post office, butcher, two pubs, hairdresser and primary school with pre-school. The highly regarded Samuel Whitbread Academy provides secondary and sixth form education and is located to the west of the village on the road to the neighbouring small town of Shefford. Bedford, Hitchin, Letchworth Garden City, Baldock and Biggleswade are all within a 12 mile radius.
