For a luxury property for large families in a well-connected village location, look no further. This Glidewell residence of grand proportions comes with a generous garden, a four-car driveway and a double detached garage.
Built in 2018 by David Wilson, the house still holds the appeal and excitement of a new build. The owners are the only residents it’s had, and they’ve done an exceptional job at looking after it. Carpets are plush, walls were redecorated last year, and there’s a modern, monochromatic style throughout. Lots of windows mean lots of light, and sun can flow in easily.
When they first viewed the house, it was the staircase for them, and falling in love with the rest quite literally went from there. This central and special feature gives extravagance, and the galleried landing lends well to many uses. The owners have had a corner sofa here, it’s now a reading area with shelving and cosy seating, and other Glidewells have this as an office space or storage.
They’re grateful to have a dedicated office on the ground floor, so bedrooms are bedrooms, a spare isn’t taken up by a desk, and work can be shut away at the end of the day. And the children appreciate their playroom. Both rooms offer versatility for whatever your family needs, and can be changed as hobbies and interests evolve. There’s also ample storage for a growing family, with two hall cupboards, an understairs cupboard, an airing cupboard, and a loft the full footprint.
To the back of the accommodation is where they spend most their time, between the kitchen/dining room and the lounge. Open plan translates into social space, while the lounge, separate to the playroom, can be a fuss-free zone for film nights on the comfiest of sofas.
The kitchen is fresh, white and bright, with high levels of storage and surfacing. Appliances are integrated, with a co-ordinating utility for more. The peninsular supplies breakfast bar seating, and there’s capacity for a large table for dinner parties too. For getting out in the garden as soon as the sun appears, there are French doors from both the dining area and the lounge, and a side door from the utility gives a secondary entrance.
Substantially sized rooms continue on the first floor, set off the incredible landing. The master is the land of luxury, with superking bed space, a dressing room with a range of wardrobes, and a pristine en suite. The contemporary suite with chrome fittings provides a perfect, private place to start and end the day, with a choice of bath or shower for winding down or waking up. Four further bedrooms fill the first floor, the smallest of which is a good-sized single. The family bathroom and en suite shower to bedroom two match the master’s sleek and stylish suite. The three bathrooms are joined by a cloakroom on the ground floor.
Coming outside, the plot fronts foliage and is joined by a handful of other detached homes tucked at the edge of the development. The block-paved driveway delivers parking for multiple vehicles, and the road has bays for extras. The double garage will shelter two more, or works as a flexible ancillary building for storage or even as a gym. To the rear, the raised deck is ideal for a hot tub, the patio to the back of the house catches the last of the sun for a golden hour drink as it sets, and children can release their energy as there’s plenty of space for running around on the lawn.
Perhaps best for a run or walk is The Forest Centre and Millenium Country Park, and there are parks dotted about the development. Village born and bred, Mrs knew she wanted to raise their family in this environment. The local community is friendly, there’s always something going on, and there’s everything you need on a day-to-day basis. Marston Moretaine is convenient for their work in Milton Keynes, as well as for access into London via Flitwick rail station. The village has primary schooling, upper and secondary in surrounding villages, and the Harpur Trust in Bedford.
