Frenchmans Close, Toddington, Bedfordshire, LU5

This quite superb, thoughtfully extended four bedroom detached home occupies a sought after cul-de-sac within Toddington and benefits from spacious, versatile accommodation set over three floors.

Approach to the property is onto a hard standing driveway which allows parking for one vehicle. A colourful frontage frames the home and a useful EV charging point has been installed. Once inside you’re immediately greeted by the entrance hall which has a dogleg staircase leading to the first floor accommodation, in addition to a cloakroom set to one side. This comprises of a low level wc and wash hand basin. To the right is the principal reception room, the living room, which commands impressive dimensions, in this case 18’1ft by 10’5ft making for flexible furniture placement. A wood burning stove sits within a chimney recess and has a chunky wooden mantle over. Running parallel to here is a second reception room, this time a more formal dining room or family room if required, and which has been laid with a beautiful light coloured herringbone flooring. Double doors to the rear open into a stunning conservatory which has a stylish vaulted roof, flooding the room with an abundance of natural daylight. It is currently utilised as a dining area and comfortably accommodates a table and chairs, making the perfect relaxing/entertaining space. A continuation of the same flooring runs across the entirety, tying the two areas together seamlessly. French doors open into the garden. From here you access the kitchen which, again, has undergone significant improvement with a comprehensive range of two tone floor and wall mounted units with immaculate Quartz work surfaces over. Several integrated appliances have been cleverly woven into the design including a gas hob, stainless steel extractor hood, double oven, coffee machine, fridge/freezer and dishwasher. Recessed spotlights dot the ceiling and French doors step out onto decking. Completing this level is a garage conversion which incorporates a further reception room, which could be used as a study or gym and beyond that a useful utility room.

Moving upstairs the first floor landing gives way to all the accommodation on this level, as well as providing another staircase to the top floor. Of the three bedrooms housed here, two nestle to the rear elevation and the other sits to the front. They are all particularly generous and have been decorated in a range of neutral tones and hues and are serviced by a stylish shower room which comprises of a shower enclosure, low level wc and wash hand basin. Modern tiling adorns the walls and the look is finished with a grey heated towel rail, recessed lighting and obscure window.

The top floor provides the master suite, which is hugely impressive, with shaped ceiling, some built in storage, Velux window and Juliette balcony offering spectacular, elevated views for miles around. It is complemented by its own en-suite which incorporates a contemporary set up including a shower cubicle, free standing oval bathtub, low level wc and twin sinks set onto stylish vanity storage. Sleek splashback tiling has been added, in addition to a chrome towel rail and Velux window.

Externally the rear garden is made up of a combination of lawn, decking and hard standing patio, creating various different seating options, whilst deep borders are stocked with an array of mature shrubs and bushes. Additionally, a useful shed and larger summerhouse have been installed, and the boundary is enclosed by timber fencing.

Toddington is a beautiful village designed and built around a large central green which provides a delightful focal point for the almost 5,000 residents that call it home. It is positioned five miles north-north-west of Luton, four miles north of Dunstable and six miles southwest of Woburn and offers superb commuter access to the M1 as well as the nearby mainline railway stations in Harlington and Flitwick. Dating back to the thirteenth century the village now offers a vibrant, bustling feel, combined with an authentic sense of community, and has a wide range of shops including hairdressers, beauty salon, opticians, and traditional bakers. It is also well served by three public houses, The Oddfellows, The Bell and The Griffin, in addition to Red Chilli offering high quality Indian cuisine. Schooling within the village operates on a three-tier system with St George’s Lower positioned on Manor Road, Parkfields Middle nestled in Park Road itself before moving onto Harlington Upper School located less than three and half miles, or 8 minutes, away, with all having a particularly good reputation.
