Insall Close, Leighton Buzzard, LU7

Why buy this home?

This home is located on Billington Park, which is an established, residential area ideal for raising a family with local schools, a Co-op shop, play areas, and open spaces, all within walking distance. There is even a running track to keep the children active and off their computers! The development also provides easy road access to the A505 and junction 11A of the M1.

Entering the home, the re-fitted kitchen is on the left-hand side of the entrance hall, and it is a real stunner. It has been finished to an exceptionally high standard and designed to maximise every bit of space including a pull-out larder cupboard. The grey units are complemented perfectly by the stone work surfaces and fitted appliances include a slim line dishwasher, washing machine, fridge/freezer, electric oven with an induction hob over it, and an extractor fan.

Townhouses are often thought of as ‘top heavy’, offering spacious bedrooms but limited ground floor living space. That’s not the case here. A single-storey rear extension has improved the layout, creating a generous open-plan living area with a dedicated space for dining, perfect for modern family life. The living area is large enough to accommodate a corner sofa or a traditional suite, allowing you to arrange it to suit your lifestyle. The dining area easily fits a six-seater table, making it ideal for family meals or entertaining guests. With three Velux windows and bi-folding doors leading out to the garden, this extended space is filled with natural light and also connects the inside to the outside seamlessly.

Although the extension has reduced the size of the rear garden, there is still plenty of space to relax in the sunshine or entertain friends. With Astral Park just moments away, children have the perfect place to run around and burn off energy, sparing your garden fences and plants from the occasional football mishap! The garden itself is low maintenance, featuring an artificial lawn bordered by a gravel path, and a wall along one side that provides a level of seclusion rarely found in neighbouring properties.

The downstairs accommodation is finished by a W/C that is fitted with a toilet and a wash hand basin.

Up on the first floor are two of the three bedrooms, along with the family bathroom. The second bedroom is an excellent size and easily accommodates all the usual bedroom furniture, in addition to a built-in wardrobe. There’s also room for a desk, making it a great option for a teenager needing space to study, game, or just unwind in their own zone. The third bedroom also takes a double bed so whoever gets this bedroom shouldn’t feel to put out that they didn’t get the larger of the two. The bedrooms on this floor are serviced by the family bathroom which is fitted with a bath with a shower attachment over it, a wash hand basin and a toilet.

The top floor is dedicated entirely to the main suite, offering parents a space away from the rest of the house. The room is generously sized, easily accommodating a super king-size bed while still providing ample space for a dressing area and all the furniture you need. A fitted double wardrobe helps to free up floor space, and room benefits from its own private en suite bathroom, perfect for busy mornings or relaxed evening routines.

The property comes with two allocated parking spaces.
