Description

This five-bedroom detached home, situated within the desirable Hanson Reach development of Stewartby, presents an excellent opportunity for renovation and investment. Although lovingly maintained by its current owners, the property's layout and features offer significant potential for enhancements that could elevate its appeal and value. Upon entering, you are welcomed by a spacious entrance hall that discreetly leads to a convenient WC at the rear. The generous lounge is bathed in natural light, providing ample room for relaxation or even a potential reconfiguration to create an open-plan living space. Across the hall, a versatile study/home office area allows for dedicated workspace or private retreat, catering to the needs of modern living. The heart of the home lies at the rear with a sizable kitchen/diner that includes a fully integrated kitchen and breakfast bar. Unique among newer builds, this property also boasts a standalone utility room that adds practicality and flexibility—ideal for customization or expansion. On the first floor, five well-proportioned bedrooms await. The master bedroom is particularly spacious and could easily accommodate an en suite bathroom addition, while the other four bedrooms range from generously sized to smaller doubles. They share a family bathroom equipped with essential amenities, but there is clear potential for modern updates. Externally, the property features a double-length driveway leading to an oversized single garage—offering not just parking but also additional storage options. The rear garden is expansive and beautifully landscaped, providing an inviting outdoor space perfect for entertaining or further landscaping improvements. Stewartby itself is rich in history as a model village originally designed for workers of The London Brick Company. It offers convenient transport links via its railway station on the Marston Vale Line and easy access to major roads such as the A421, A6, and M1. The local amenities include schools and shops that cater to everyday needs while promoting community living. In summary, this property not only combines functional living spaces with outdoor enjoyment but also stands as a promising canvas for those looking to invest in renovations or modifications that can enhance both personal comfort and overall market value in this charming village location.
