4 Bedroom detached house ● Bedford Road, Houghton Regis ● £900,000
The exquisite Houghton Regis house, with its private, gated setting, contemporary barn style and sophisticated finish, has been a sumptuous and chic modern-day home
Every single day that the seller spends at her beautiful Bidwell Farm Barns home still feels as special as the day she first moved in. Even now, she finds it hard to believe that the stylish, spacious property has been hers for the past five and a half years. “It feels like living in a holiday villa,” she admits. “It is a gorgeous, relaxing home, which has the most wonderful vibe throughout.” Set within an exclusive, private, gated setting, the property is one of two exquisite, bespoke homes that were created to sit comfortably within an enclave of barn conversions. Brand new when she viewed it in 2020, it nestles in a tranquil setting. “When I sit out in the garden to watch the black squirrels, I can hear nothing at all but the birds,” she says. “This is the loveliest community to be part of – and yet you also benefit from complete privacy and tranquillity.”
- CONTEMPORARY LIVING
- The seller can still remember the very first time she walked into the four-bedroom house. “It was as if every single step I was taking was giving me another green light,” she recalls. “With each step, there was something new that I was seeing or discovering that just made me want to live here more and more.” From the chic kitchen and immaculate bathrooms to the wood and glass of the staircase and the charming, sloped ceilings of the first floor, she was drawn to its balance of contemporary chic and individual charm. It also had features such as underfloor heating, Lutron lighting and a Sonos sound system. “It was a new house, with a wonderful sense of light and flow, and yet they managed to create something that had character,” she adds.
- SUPERB SPACE
- Overall, the seller has enhanced her home with an array of 21st-century additions that make it an exceptional place to unwind, entertain and work. With a driveway that can accommodate up to six cars, it is set back from the quiet road and has a double garage. To the left of the reception hall, there is a study, which could also be used as a playroom or snug. “This has been a beautiful place in which to work from home,” she observes. To the right, is the splendid sitting room, with its fireplace and bay window. “I have three large sofas in here and there is still ample space,” she says. “There is a working flue in here, should someone wish to install a wood-burner or have an open fire.”
- A CHIC RETREAT
- A utility room and a cloakroom are also downstairs, together with the spectacular, open-plan kitchen, dining and living area that encompasses the whole rear of the house. Here bi-folding doors can be pulled right back to create indoor-outdoor living; there is a fabulous central island, with a breakfast bar, and an easy flow through to the dining or family room, where the seller has created her relaxation space with its impressive media wall. “I do spend most of my time in this part of the house,” she admits. “It is so spacious and airy – and it is lovely in the summer months when the doors are open. I have had cabling laid from here down to the trees at the bottom of the garden, so I can light them up at night. It all looks wonderful.”
- A PERFECT PLACE
- Up on the first floor, the sense of comfort and style continues. Here, three of the four bedrooms boast en-suite shower rooms, and there is also a family bathroom, making it very easy to accommodate overnight guests. “The master bedroom in particular is incredibly relaxing,” she says. “I have a super-king-size bed and a Chesterfield sofa and it still feels spacious. It feels so self-contained that I often think I could just live in there!” She will miss the convenient location of the house, as well as its high-specification finish and airy interior when she leaves. “This has been the most beautiful place I have ever lived,” she admits. “I feel so lucky to have been here for the past five years.”
- Outside
- The detached house is set on a generous plot, within a gated community, on a private lane. To the front, it offers ample off-road parking, as well as access to a detached double garage. To the rear, it opens onto an enclosed garden, with a terrace and lawn.
