Walnut Acre, Marlborough Place, Toddington, Bedfordshire, LU5

*2,259 SQ FT* This rarely available four bedroom detached home occupies a beautiful, secluded position close to the heart of the village and incorporates spacious, interchangeable accommodation set over three floors.

Approach to the home is via an extensive shingled driveway allowing parking for numerous vehicles, whilst a detached double garage sits to one side. Once inside the property itself you’re immediately greeted by the entrance hall which has a dogleg staircase leading to the first floor accommodation as well as a useful cloakroom. To the left hand side is the kitchen/breakfast room which has been fitted with a comprehensive range of floor and wall mounted units with darker contrasting, jet black granite work surfaces over. Several integrated appliances have been woven into the design and recessed lighting dots the ceiling. The breakfast area comfortably accommodates a table and chairs, creating a real family/sociable space and a sloped ceiling has been interspersed with skylights, ensuring the room is flooded with an abundance of natural daylight. A separate utility room provides additional storage capacity, in addition to space for other free standing white goods. Running parallel along the rear of the home is the principal reception room, the living room, which commands impressive dimensions, in this case 19’8ft by 16’6ft, making for flexible furniture placement. An imposing fireplace creates a focal point to the room and a window and French doors overlook the garden. Completing this level is a study or family room depending on requirements and, again, is spectacular in terms of proportions.

Moving upstairs the first floor landing gives way to all the accommodation on this level, the master bedroom of which nestles to the rear elevation and benefits from its own separate dressing area and en-suite. This has been fitted with a shower enclosure, low level wc and a wash hand basin set into a vanity unit. Tiling has been added to the floor and walls, whilst a heated towel rail and obscure window complete the look. The other two bedrooms on this level both extend to double proportions, with one occupying the front aspect and the other sitting to the rear. They are serviced by a bathroom which incorporates a panelled bath, low level wc and pedestal wash hand basin. Modern tiling adorns the walls and a heated towel rail, recessed ceiling spotlights and obscure window contemporise the space further still.

The second floor landing is illuminated by a Velux window and provides access into a further bedroom. This is a particularly generous room, split into two sections with attractive wooden flooring, useful eaves storage and two skylight windows offering spectacular views for miles around.

Externally the rear garden has been thoughtfully designed and executed with a paved patio area as you initially step out, perfect for relaxing or entertaining, whilst beyond here the remainder of the garden has been laid to lawn. Deep borders have been stocked with an array of plants, shrubs and bushes, whilst 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 Bell, The Griffin and The Oddfellow Arms, 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.
