Description

This spacious four-bedroom detached home presents a remarkable opportunity for renovation and investment in the desirable village of Marston Moretaine. The property is well-positioned, combining both residential comfort with accessibility to local amenities and transport links. Upon entering, you are greeted by a substantial hallway leading into a light-filled sitting room with contemporary wood-effect flooring. This room flows effortlessly into the dining area, creating a versatile space for day-to-day living or entertaining guests. French doors open directly to the garden, emphasizing the potential for outdoor-indoor living. While the kitchen is functional and offers ample worktop space and storage, it awaits modernization that could elevate its appeal significantly. The upper level features four well-proportioned bedrooms. The main bedroom includes an en-suite shower room for added convenience, while another bedroom also benefits from its own en-suite. The remaining two bedrooms are served by a modern family bathroom, and all rooms provide flexible options—ideal for family use, guest accommodations, or even dedicated home office spaces. The exterior of the property showcases a thoughtfully landscaped garden that includes both paved areas ideal for gatherings and a neat lawn. A timber summer house, equipped with power supply, adds value as an office or creative workspace. Additionally, off-road parking is provided through a driveway and garage. Local amenities include supermarkets, schools, eateries, and community resources located within Marston Moretaine itself. For those who enjoy outdoor activities, Millennium Country Park offers extensive recreational opportunities nearby. With excellent road and rail connections to Bedford, Milton Keynes, and London—and the anticipated development of Universal Studios in close proximity—the property's location is set to gain even more desirability over time. In summary, this property not only provides ample living space but also holds significant potential for future improvements and investment growth in a thriving area.
