Millbrook (Bedfordshire) 0.9 milesStylish, immaculately renovated two bedroom cottage set over three floors and occupying a delightful lane position fronting onto the late ‘lockdown hero‘ Captain Tom‘s gardens.
A smart front door painted in a contemporary hue greets you and once inside access is provided directly into the lounge/diner. This is a superb, particularly generous space, the living area of which has an imposing cast iron fireplace with raised hearth and chunky wooden surround creating a real focal point for the room. Beyond here the dining area allows ample space for a table and chairs ensuring a sociable, entertaining space. Stairs from here lead to the first floor whilst light wood floorboards run the entirety tying the two spaces together perfectly. Beyong here the kitchen has been beautifully refitted with a comprehensive range of light fronted floor and wall mounted units incorporating work surfaces over. Several integrated appliances have been woven into the design including four ring electric hob, under counter oven and stainless steel extractor hood. Additional space has been created for other free standing appliances such as an upright fridge/freezer and washing machine. Modern splashbacks and recessed ceiling spotlights finish the look.
Moving upstairs the first floor landing provides access into one of the bedrooms, this is of double proportions and has real character to it with delightful curved and sloped ceiling. A useful cupboard provides storage and the room is flooded with natural daylight from the front elevation. Also on this level is the main bathroom, again, this has been refitted to an exceptionally high standard and comprises of a shower enclosure with large rainhead attachment over, free standing roll top bath, low level wc and wash hand basin. Half height tiling, heated towel rail and stylish lighting contemporise it even further. Back on the landing a separate door opens onto a staircase leading to the second floor and an additional bedroom. This has a dual aspect from two Velux‘s giving unrivalled, spectacular views for miles around. The room itself has exposed brickwork seamlessly blending together a feeling of old and new.
Externally the rear garden is deceptively generous and has been designed with a low maintenance feel in mind. Laid principally with paving it has been interspersed with sleepers and slate edging. A useful shed sits to the far end whilst the boundary is enclosed by a combination of timber fencing and brick walling and offers gated rear access.
