SET IN A COMMANDING ELEVATED POSITION ON A 2.3 ACRE PLOT WITH TRULY SPECTACULAR VIEWS, ONE OF THE FINEST CONTEMPORARY HOMES IN OUR AREA.
THE PROPERTY
A ground breaking and most striking architect-designed energy efficient modern home which takes full advantage of its hillside location at the end of a village lane.
The brief, to create a contemporary home with clean lined, open plan living which blends into its setting, has been superbly executed and finished to a very high standard throughout. Particular emphasis has been made to create light and exceptionally tall rooms with over 5,000 square feet of living pace with feature lantern glazed roof lights and many rooms with full width and height opening glazed doors offering superb views over the entire plot and surrounding countryside.
Internally, the attention to detail is evident throughout with glass panelled and light staircases, stylish kitchens, quality sanitary ware, bedroom furniture and a large, unique balcony providing exceptional dining and entertaining areas. Echoing its modernist credentials Jackdaws has an excellent energy efficiency rating with zoned underfloor heating, LED spotlighting and electric vehicle charging points.
The accommodation, over two levels, has equally been given careful consideration and offers a blend of superb open plan space, ideal for today’s family living, whilst having separate areas for home working, relaxation and exercise. With five double bedrooms all with ensuites and two kitchens, one on each floor, the space is able to provide extended family living or children returning home from university or annexe facility.
Approached via a private gated entrance, Jackdaws has two winding driveways to the house and to the 1,000 square foot garage/workshop complex which lends itself to an independent small business use. The grounds have sweeping lawns interspersed with mature trees and newly constructed terracing offers areas for outdoor barbeques and relaxation.
A viewing is thoroughly recommended to appreciate the lifestyle opportunity on offer at Jackdaws.
DESCRIPTION
Entering the property via the main door with side and double height glazed panelled windows, the reception hall is an impressive size with open tread and illuminated staircase onto the first floor which has glass partitions and steel handrails. A lantern roof window above allows lots of light to flood into this area which then flows to the ground floor sitting/office accommodation.
With four sets of picture windows overlooking the garden, this space has direct access to the terrace for outdoor dining and entertaining. Leading on from here an additional kitchen also offers an annex facility for extended family living. The kitchen itself is fitted with an extensive range of flush fitting base and wall units with sink unit and mixer taps and worktops. Integrated appliances include a dishwasher, double oven, microwave, warming drawer, fridge freezer and wine cooler. Steps up lead to an open plan inner hall and utility area which has a matching range of base, wall and full height cupboards, providing ample storage. There is a second sink unit, space for washing machine, tumble dryer and a cloakroom is fitted with a modern suite of wash basin and wc.
Bedroom five and the gym radiate off the hall with the bedroom having double sliding glazed doors to the terrace. An ensuite is accessed via a stylish sliding etched glass door and has a suite of glazed shower cubicle, vanity wash hand basin and wc.
The gym can be used as a sixth bedroom if required and has full width picture windows to the front aspect and floor to ceiling built-in wardrobes to one wall. There are two “Ideal” gas boilers within the cupboards which serve the hot water and central heating. The dual aspect fourth bedroom has views to the front with double wardrobes and has a large ensuite bathroom with a free-standing shaped bath with pillar taps and shower head along with a separate shower cubicle, vanity wash basin and illuminated mirror.
FIRST FLOOR
A second roof lantern provides a focal point to the main landing with steps to three bedroom suites to the right and main living accommodation to the left.
With southern and westerly aspects, the principal living area has spectacular elevated views from the full width and height picture doors and windows. The area is open plan to the kitchen and ideal for modern living whilst equally offering zones for relaxing, dining and watching TV. Both aspects have glazed balconies with the main large enough for a good size dining suite and is a superb entertaining space.
The kitchen is comprehensively fitted with a modern range of base and wall units with sink, mixer taps, work surfaces and tiling. Appliances include two hide and slide ovens, microwave, warming drawer, dishwasher, fridge, freezer and wine cooler. A central island unit houses additional storage cupboards, breakfast bar and a halogen hob with flush fitting overhead extractor. There is also a fully shelved walk-in illuminated pantry cupboard.
From the main landing there is a further cloakroom and two double cupboards, one housing the hot water cylinder. The main bedroom suite is well proportioned having 12’6 ft ceiling height with high level window and full width picture windows and sliding doors with a Juliette balcony providing views for several miles over countryside. The proportions are echoed in the dressing room and ensuite which has a large walk-in shower cubicle, floating washbasin, wc, illuminated mirror and dual aspect windows and a lantern roof light. The dressing room is very well fitted with a range of full height wardrobes along with overhead storage areas.
A second suite faces to the east and front and features full height sliding doors and balcony with a range of wardrobes and a large ensuite of free-standing bath, walk-in shower, wash basin and wc – plus a window to the rear and roof lantern.
Completing the accommodation, the third bedroom has full height, glazed doors and windows, a range of wardrobes with a balcony and an ensuite shower room.
OUTSIDE
Approached via electric gates with video and intercom entry system, a long sweeping driveway takes you to the house with sleeper edged borders and a tiered bank with a host of planted flowers and shrubs. There is a dual electric vehicle charging point and extensive slate paving wraps around the property. From the entrance, a second driveway leads to the left and provides independent access to the professionally constructed workshop and stores which are in excess of 1,500sq ft. The workshop has a three-phase electric supply and with suitable consents would make ideal business/office premises. The adjacent store provides ample space for garden tractor, machinery and tools.
The plot extends to approximately 2.3 acres and comprises large lawns attractively interspersed with a variety of mature trees and laurel hedging. The boundaries are all enclosed with hedging and fencing.
Around the house there are large paved terrace patios with timber sleeper edging and steps with courtesy lights and floodlights, water taps and power points.
LOCATION
The village of Renhold is located to the north east of the county town of Bedford and provides a village shop/Post Office, a public house and a church. The area is very well served for schooling of all ages including the renowned Harpur Trust schools in Bedford and Kimbolton School. There is a lower school in Church End with middle school in Great Barford and upper school in Bedford. Bedford provides a wider range of shopping and leisure facilities and the village enjoys good road access to the historic city of Cambridge and Milton Keynes. Bedford also benefits from a main line railway station with Midland Main Line Service to St Pancras International within 40 minutes and direct link into The City and onto Gatwick and the South Coast. The area is well served by road communications with A1, A6 and M1 junction 13 within a short travelling distance.
