Property description
Kingsclere is an imposing and quite individual Edwardian Villa located along the Ampthill Road in Flitwick. Being very deep and therefore deceptive from the front appearance, this home has an almost 'Tardis' feel about it and despite the modernising and extensions there are still many original features including the original tiled floor in the reception hall, the lovely open fire with a stunning marble surround, sash windows and some woodwork.There is immediate off road parking for 3 cars to the front then double gates lead through to the inner driveway again parking for another 3 cars. The private garden incorporates a lawn, patio, gravelled area and a deck with a summer house/gym. There is an ideal 'work from home/potential annexe facility' with the detached brick outbuilding.The spacious accommodation is arranged over 3 floors and incorporates a reception hall, reception area, living room, dining/family room, study area, kitchen/breakfast room, bathroom & utility room. There are three bedrooms and a shower room on the 2nd floor and on the 3rd floor is master bedroom and ensuite shower room.This is a lovely family home with lots of space both inside and out - give the team at Local Agent Network a call on 01525 876600 to book your appointment to view.
