Porus Piece, Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire

Why buy this home?

As you enter the hall through your private front door, there's space to hang your coats. Stairs lead up to the accommodation where all the rooms are accessed from a large landing which has two big storage cupboards – something some newer homes lack.

The contemporary open plan living area has two windows that have both been fitted with shutters, adding a classic touch to a modern home. The living space currently has a three-seater sofa in it, but the addition of a corner sofa would add a natural separation to the room. The kitchen is fitted with shaker style units and has Amtico flooring. Fitted appliances include a fridge/freezer, an oven, a gas hob, an extractor hood and a washer/dryer.

The main bedroom is a good size and in addition to the fitted wardrobe, would comfortably fit all the furniture you might need.

The second bedroom is currently being used as a child’s bedroom but would also make a great guest bedroom. The space could even be used as a guest bedroom/office – with space for a sofa bed and a desk.

A fresh, sleek family bathroom has marble effect, grey tiling. It is fitted with a bath which has a shower over it, a wash hand basin and a W/C while a window provides natural ventilation in addition to an extractor fan.

Outside, there is parking for two vehicles, one of which is under a carport. There is also a storage cupboard.
