Brightmans Drive, Maulden, Bedfordshire, MK45

This stunning four bedroom detached family home occupies an attractive cul-de-sac position within the sought after village of Maulden and incorporates approximately 2295 sq ft of flexible, interchangeable accommodation.

Approach to the home is via a block paved driveway which allows parking for several vehicles, whilst directly ahead is a double garage access by a single door. A gate leads through to an immaculately tended frontage incorporating a path to the front door, flanked by lawn and mature greenery. Once inside you’re immediately greeted by a porch and entrance hall which has stairs leading to the first floor accommodation as well as a useful cloakroom. To the rear of the home is the kitchen/breakfast room which has been fitted with a comprehensive range of light grey floor and wall mounted units with complementary work surfaces over. Several integrated appliances have been cleverly woven into the design, whilst additional space for a breakfast table and chairs creates informal dining. A separate utility room has space afforded for other free standing white goods and has a multi paned obscure door into the side passageway. Running parallel to here is the principal reception room, the living room, which commands impressive dimensions, in this case 19’8ft by 14’1ft making for flexible furniture placement. Beyond here is a conservatory which enjoys beautiful views across the garden and provides a quiet, tranquil relaxation space. Back at the front of the home is a more formal dining room, but this could equally be utilised as a family/playroom and has a large window to the front, ensuring the room is flooded with an abundance of natural daylight. Completing this level is a study, reinforcing the flexible nature of the home.

The second bedroom also incorporates ample built in wardrobes and its own en-suite, this time offering a panelled bath with shower unit and glass screen positioned over, low level wc and pedestal wash hand basin. The remaining two bedrooms both occupy the rear of the home and are of double proportions, a real advantage for the property, and are serviced by a bathroom incorporating a panelled bath with shower unit and glass screen, low level wc and pedestal wash hand basin. Modern white tiling adorns the walls, and an obscure window looks across the front aspect.
