A CLASSIC DOUBLE FRONTED HOUSE SURROUNDED BY OPEN COUNTRYSIDE SET ON A PLOT OF 1.15 OF AN ACRE WITH A SUBSTANTIAL RANGE OF TIMBER BARNS OFFERING GREAT POTENTIAL.
A rare opportunity to purchase a lifestyle property set in a private, but not isolated location on the outskirts of Maulden village. Ideally located in easy reach of the Georgian market town of Ampthill with its own Waitrose and for commuters, Flitwick mainline station and Junction 12 of the M1, both within 2 and 6 miles.
The house has been well cared for over the years and offers excellent potential to enlarge and remodel and is centrally located within the grounds. A particular feature is an excellent range of timber barns which could be converted to provide additional accommodation such as annex, home office, studio or business use for storage and further garaging (subject to necessary consents).
The grounds wrap around the house on all four sides and comprise of lawns, mature planted borders, ponds, vegetable garden and a fine, mature and productive orchard. There is ample private parking and a double garage for vehicles.
Properties of this type and location coupled with the potential on offer are increasingly rare and a viewing is recommended.
THE ACCOMMODATION
Entering the property from the front, the hall is a good size. Stairs rise to the first floor with a cupboard under. Lying to the right the sitting room is triple aspect and has a central open fireplace with brick surround and hearth. To the left, the dining room has a window to the front aspect and a door leads to the conservatory which is double glazed with a ceramic floor and offers pleasant views over the garden and orchard.
Set at the rear of the house, the kitchen is fitted with a range of base and wall units with an inset sink unit, tiling and work surfaces. There is a space for a dishwasher and electric and gas (LPG) cooker points and three windows overlook the rear and side. A walk-in pantry with window provides lots of useful storage. At the end of the hall there is a lobby area with windows and door to the rear drive and barns with a cloakroom and a utility room which has a further sink and space for a washing machine and tumble dryer.
FIRST FLOOR

The two main bedrooms overlook the front aspect and have pleasant views with the second bedroom having a double wardrobe whilst bedrooms three and four have a window to the rear with bedroom three having fitted wardrobes to one wall and four having a sink unit. Finally, the family bathroom has a three piece suite of bath, wash basin and wc.
OUTSIDE

The overall plot is 1.15 acres (sts) and comprises of good size lawns which lie on all four sides of the house. To the front the lawns are bordered by a tall hedge which provides screening and privacy and a path leads to the front door and to the orchard.
Taking advantage of the south westerly aspect the orchard and side gardens are very well stocked with mature planted shrubs and trees including a fine blue cedar and monkey puzzle tree. There is an extensive mature orchard which has a hedged boundary and includes several varieties of apple, pear and plum trees.

OUTBUILDINGS
