Summary - Oak Lea Eggington, Leighton Buzzard, LU7 LU7 9PQ
4 bed 3 bath Detached
Large plot and countryside privacy, ideal for buyers ready to renovate.
Exclusive gated development of four houses
Set within an exclusive gated enclave of just four homes, this substantial four-bedroom detached house occupies a huge plot backing onto open countryside. The property offers privacy, a mature rear garden, extensive driveway parking and an attached garage — rare for village living close to Leighton Buzzard and its rail links. The layout includes two reception rooms, a conservatory, and a flexible first-floor arrangement that creates a self-contained suite ideal for guests or multi-generational living.
The house retains period character — exposed brickwork, AGA and a red-brick fireplace — and provides a large canvas for updating. At 2,099 sq ft, there is genuine scope to modernise rooms, improve thermal performance and reconfigure spaces to create a contemporary family home. It is offered chain free, which supports a quicker move for a buyer ready to proceed.
Important practical considerations: the property needs renovation and internal updating; walls are solid brick with no assumed insulation; heating is oil-fired via boiler and radiators; the EPC is E. Broadband speeds are reported slow, and council tax is described as quite expensive. These factors will affect running costs and any refurbishment budget and should be factored into plans.
This house will suit buyers seeking rural space and character who are prepared to invest in improvement works — families seeking extra room, multi-generational households, or buyers looking for a period property to refurbish. Its gated setting and low local crime add security and tranquillity, while nearby good schools and transport links keep it well connected.
