Overview
Why buy this home?
The apartment itself is located on the top floor, meaning you do not have to worry about any noise from neighbours, making it a peaceful place to live. It is in wonderful condition throughout and has been loved by the current owner who is only selling due to relocation.
All the accommodation is accessed via a spacious entrance hall which also has two large storage cupboards, a rarity in most modern apartments.
The open plan living area of the apartment has two large windows to the side which allow sunlight to flow through the room and is a great space for socialising with friends or family. Some open plan setups can be cold and uninviting but this one gives off a lovely feel as soon as you enter it. The current owner has a chaise sofa which provides a natural separation of the kitchen area and there is more than enough space for additional seating should you require it.
At the back of this area is the kitchen which has vinyl flooring and a mix of both base and eye level units, with more than enough worktop space to prepare meals. There is an integral electric oven with a gas hob over it and space for a fridge/freezer, washing machine, and a dishwasher. There is also space to fit in a dining table without it taking up too much space.
If you have been looking at apartments and finding the main bedroom too small, then you should be pleasantly surprised by this one. It is a superb size with space for a king-size bed, two wardrobes, three sets of drawers, and a potential dressing area. It is serviced by an en-suite shower room which has a window providing natural ventilation.
The second bedroom fits a double bed but would be more comfortable as a single room. If used as a single bedroom, there could be space to add a desk if you need somewhere to work from home.
A bathroom provides a place to have a soak in the bath and unwind if you ever fancy a change from the shower in the en-suite.
There is allocated parking with additional visitor spaces.
More about the location...
Leighton Buzzard is a market town in Bedfordshire, near the Chiltern Hills and lying between Aylesbury, Tring, Dunstable and Milton Keynes.
The area has become an increasingly popular place to relocate to for workers from London, helped in part by its reasonably priced housing – a big attraction for young professional couples wanting to get their foot on the property ladder. Leighton Buzzard provides great access to the countryside and other parts of the UK like London, Birmingham, Cambridge and Oxford.
Leighton Buzzard is close to the M1 motorway and A5 road, and is served by Southern and London Northwestern Railway services on the West Coast Main Line railway at Leighton Buzzard railway station in Linslade. The railway operates non-stop commuting services to Euston railway station, with the fastest peak journey times less than 30 minutes.
Leighton Buzzard operates a three-tier education system with a selection of with Lower, Middle and Upper Schools.
The River Ouzel runs through the town as does the famous Grand Union Canal, which Leighton Buzzard is well known for. There is a lot of activity along the canal which residents can enjoy, from peaceful walks to fishing and waterside pubs.
There are many community events scheduled throughout the year including both the Food and Canal Festivals in the summer, Linslade in Bloom, Music in the Park and the Christmas Market.
A short drive from Leighton Buzzard is Ascott House which is set in a 3,200-acre estate and benefits extensive manicured gardens which you are free to enjoy. There is also Rushmere Country Park on the outskirts of the town which is an area of 400 acres of woodland, heathland and meadows for you to explore. This is a Greensands Trust site with a visitor centre and café.
In 1963 the Great Train Robbery took place at a site near Bridego Bridge, between the villages of Cheddington and Linslade. Every time a Great Train Robber was caught law dictated that they had to be brought back to the small court house at Linslade to be charged.
