A spacious five-double-bedroom Victorian detached house in the village of Stewkley, set on a large plot with uninterrupted countryside views. The property blends period character—high ceilings, exposed beams and bay windows—with contemporary comforts: a high-spec kitchen with central island and bifold doors, two log burners and a powered summer house useful as an entertainment room or home office.
The ground floor offers flexible family living: generous living room, large dining room, separate reception/playroom (with full planning permission to build above it), utility room and downstairs WC. Upstairs are five double bedrooms including a master with ensuite and dressing room, plus a second family bathroom. Total internal area is approximately 1,659 sq ft with around eight main rooms, suitable for a growing family or home workers needing separate spaces.
Outside, the landscaped rear garden backs onto open countryside and is accompanied by a wide driveway providing ample off-street parking. Commuters will appreciate nearby Leighton Buzzard station with fast trains to London and road links to the M1/A41. Local amenities include a primary school, shop, pub and recreation ground within walking distance, and the property lies within catchment for well-regarded nearby schools.
Practical notes: the house is freehold, sits in a very affluent area with low crime and no flood risk, but has an EPC rating of D and sits in a high council tax band (G), which will affect running costs. Mobile signal is average. The granted planning permission above the playroom offers clear potential to enlarge living space further.
