This substantial four-bedroom detached character home on Southcourt Road combines period features with generous, flexible family accommodation. The house benefits from a showpiece vaulted kitchen/breakfast room with exposed beams and skylights, multiple reception rooms including a garden room with panoramic views, and a mature landscaped rear garden that affords privacy and entertaining space.
Practical advantages include a large gated block-paved driveway, integral garage, and a location two minutes’ walk from Leighton Buzzard mainline station — excellent for commuters with direct trains to London. The property sits in a sought-after, affluent neighbourhood close to parks, schools rated Good, and local amenities.
Notable considerations: heating is electric (storage heaters) and glazing was upgraded post-2002; cavity walls have partial insulation (assumed). Council tax banding is above average. While the home is well-proportioned and retains attractive period detail, some rooms and services may benefit from updating or inspection (kitchen/bathroom finishes, roof and windows, and services have not been independently tested).
Overall this is a roomy, character-rich family house offering strong kerb appeal, easy commuting and clear potential to modernise or extend (subject to planning). It will suit a family seeking space, garden privacy and a blend of original detail with contemporary living.
