A beautifully presented detached family home occupying a generous and deceptive corner plot, enjoying far-reaching views towards the Downs and situated within the ever-popular Priory area of Dunstable. Offering versatile three/four-bedroom accommodation, a gated driveway, private rear garden and excellent potential for further enhancement, this individual property is one that warrants an early viewing. Approached via a gated gravel driveway, the property immediately offers an attractive degree of privacy and ample off-road parking. On entering, the spacious entrance hall provides a welcoming introduction to the home, with stairs rising to the first floor. The ground floor features a particularly attractive living room, flooded with natural light and retaining a wealth of character including exposed beams and an ornate open fireplace. Bi-folding doors can be opened to seamlessly connect the living space with the private rear garden, making this an ideal room for both relaxing and entertaining. The second reception room offers excellent versatility and could be utilised as a dining room, family room, playroom or additional sitting room depending on individual requirements. The modern fitted kitchen/breakfast room forms a fantastic hub of the home and has been thoughtfully designed for both practicality and entertaining. The kitchen comprises a range of eye-level and base units, space for appliances, solid oak work surfaces and stylish glass splashbacks, with ample room for a breakfast table. Completing the ground floor is the fourth bedroom, currently utilised as a study. This versatile room benefits from a range of fitted wardrobes and a private en-suite shower room comprising a corner shower cubicle, wash hand basin and WC, making it equally suitable as a guest bedroom or annexe-style accommodation. To the first floor, the landing provides access to the remaining bedrooms and family bathroom, as well as a ladder leading to the loft room. The loft offers considerable scope for conversion and further accommodation, subject to the necessary planning permissions and building regulations. There is also a door leading to a front-facing balcony, providing an unusual and enjoyable additional feature. The principal bedroom is a generous double room featuring a range of fitted Sharps wardrobes and its own en-suite shower room, complete with shower, wash hand basin and WC.
