Summary - 70 AMPTHILL ROAD SHEFFORD SG17 5BB
5 bed 3 bath Detached
Five-bedroom detached family home with huge garden, games room and scope to modernise.
Nearly 4,000 sq ft of versatile living space
Tucked on a private road in the centre of Shefford, this substantial 1950s detached house offers just under 4,000 sq ft of adaptable living space, ideal for a large or multi-generational family. The home’s layout centres on generous reception rooms: a 22ft x 21ft family room, a 32ft games room and a 30ft conservatory with log burner and air conditioning, all opening out to a generous rear garden that backs onto open fields.
The kitchen with central island and an adjacent utility room provide a practical hub for daily life and entertaining. Upstairs the large master suite includes built-in wardrobes and a private ensuite, and two further bedrooms are served by their own ensuite off a separate hallway — useful for guests or assisted living arrangements. Solar panels add an energy/income benefit, generating over £1,000 per year.
The property requires renovation and updating throughout, presenting a clear opportunity to personalise finishes and modernise services. Notable positives include double glazing, mains gas heating and plentiful parking with a double garage; notable costs include the need for refurbishment and relatively high council tax.
Located in comfortable suburban Shefford, the house sits close to several well-rated state schools and has good bus links to nearby towns and mainline stations. For families seeking space, flexible layout and countryside views within walking distance of local amenities, this home offers strong potential once modernised.
