A traditional 1930s bay-fronted detached family home, occupying a generous plot on the highly regarded Elmwood Crescent. Offering a wealth of original character, two separate reception rooms, a large rear garden, detached garage and excellent potential to extend subject to the necessary planning permissions, this is a fantastic opportunity for families looking to create their ideal long-term home. The property is approached via a front garden and driveway, with a welcoming entrance porch leading into a particularly spacious entrance hall. The ground floor accommodation includes a useful cloakroom with wash hand basin and WC, together with a large bay-fronted lounge featuring an attractive fireplace and plenty of natural light. The separate dining room provides an excellent space for family meals and entertaining, with French doors opening directly onto the rear garden. The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units, inset sink and space for appliances, while a large Velux window floods the room with natural light. Tiled flooring completes the kitchen. To the first floor, the landing provides access to three well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from an attractive bay window, while the remaining bedrooms offer excellent versatility for family members, guests or home-working requirements. The generous family bathroom comprises a corner bath with shower over, wash hand basin and WC. A particularly noteworthy feature is the exceptionally large loft space, which offers significant potential for conversion and the creation of additional accommodation, subject to the relevant planning permissions and building regulations. This, combined with the property's generous plot, provides considerable scope for future enhancement. Externally, the property benefits from a large rear garden offering an excellent degree of privacy and plenty of space for outdoor dining, entertaining and family enjoyment. There is a detached garage, driveway and front garden laid mainly to lawn with established flower and shrub borders. The garden also provides an abundance of useful brick-built storage areas, as well as the unusual and fascinating feature of an original air raid shelter. Further benefits include a newly installed combination boiler and double-glazed windows. Elmwood Crescent is a popular residential location which has long been favoured by families. The property is conveniently positioned for a range of local amenities, with shops, doctors' surgeries and bus routes all within easy reach. Local schools are also highly regarded, including Bushmead Primary and Stopsley High School. For commuters, there are excellent transport links nearby, including Junction 10 of the M1 motorway, Luton railway station with Thameslink services and London Luton Airport, providing convenient connections to London and further afield. Combining traditional 1930s character with generous accommodation and exciting potential for further extension, this substantial detached home is a rare opportunity in such a popular family location and viewing is highly recommended. **Disclaimer: Important Notice to Prospective Buyers** All information provided in this listing has been gathered from sources believed to be reliable, but we cannot warrant its accuracy or completeness.
