About this property

Lower Shelton, Bedfordshire

Occupying a substantial plot in the highly desirable village of Lower Shelton, this individual three-bedroom detached chalet bungalow enjoys stunning open countryside views to the rear, extensive parking and exceptional potential for further development, extension or the creation of an annexe, subject to the necessary planning consents.

Set within a non-estate position, the property offers flexible and versatile accommodation arranged over two floors. The ground floor comprises an entrance porch and open plan layout which includes dual bay-fronted living room extending into a family room and dining area. There is an additional separate reception room which could be utilised as a snug, home office or ground floor bedroom. There is also a family bathroom, a recently re-fitted kitchen/breakfast room and an impressive 24ft uPVC conservatory overlooking the rear garden.

To the first floor, a spacious landing area provides an ideal study or home-working space. There are two bedrooms, both benefiting from attractive views across the surrounding countryside, together with a re-fitted shower room. The principal bedroom enjoys particularly far-reaching rural views, creating a peaceful and private retreat.

The property benefits from recent modernisation with full electrical rewire, new heating system including combination boiler, new windows and externals doors and internal wall and floor insulation greatly improving energy efficiency of the property.

The exterior of the property is a standout feature. The generous frontage provides off-road parking for numerous vehicles, whilst the substantial rear garden offers a large patio area, extensive lawn and uninterrupted views over open fields. A detached workshop and games room provide excellent additional space for hobbies, storage, a home business or potential conversion opportunities.

Lower Shelton is a sought-after semi-rural village offering the perfect balance between countryside living and convenience. The nearby towns of Bedford and Milton Keynes provide an excellent range of shopping, leisure and educational facilities, whilst rail services from nearby stations offer direct routes into London. Excellent road links via the A421, M1 and A6 ensure easy access to surrounding towns and cities.

Properties occupying plots of this size and offering such scope for improvement and adaptation are rarely available, making internal viewing essential to fully appreciate the accommodation, grounds and outstanding rural setting on offer.

Please note that the AML fee covers the cost of carrying out the required identity and anti-money laundering checks. Once these checks have been completed, the fee cannot be refunded, even if the property purchase does not go ahead.
