4 rooms house of 103m² in Aspley Guise

This superb, substantial family home is a rare hidden gem, tucked away in a surprisingly large plot that’s only a stone’s throw from Woburn Sands traditional High Street. It’s been transformed inside and out into a versatile family home, now with the added potential to turn the large outbuilding into something special. If you take a short walk from the High Street up Aspley Hill you’ll soon come across a small wooden gate leading to a narrow gravel path. The neat “Pine Cottage” sign gives no hint of what lies at the other end of the long private path - a fantastic four bedroom detached cottage, set in substantial grounds. It really does give you the best of both worlds. Now you can grab a coffee along with weekend papers and it will still be piping hot when you get back home to your gorgeous garden terrace! Not only is this property unusually private and secluded. You also get so much more space than with a typical Victorian town centre terrace. It used to be landlocked - only accessible by the blink-and-you’ll miss it pedestrian path. But the current owners have bought additional land, allowing them to extend the sun trap south facing gardens. Not only that, they've added a drive with a substantial parking area that’s now accessible from Dene Close. The additional land also includes a large (784 t) versatile outbuilding/garage that gives you so many options… This former groundskeeper's cottage has been thoughtfully extended and improved. It's been transformed into a spacious and stylish family home, well equipped to cope with our busy modern lives. The entrance hall (which is big enough to be a relaxed seating area in its own right) leads to a warm and welcoming kitchen / diner that’s sure to become the heart of this family home. There’s plenty of space to sit and eat and the breakfast bar will be perfect for grabbing a quick bite on the go or playing games with the kids. Patio doors open directly onto the substantial terrace which leads down to the large lawned garden, making this an ideal space for hosting a BBQ or a summer party. There’s a handy utility room just off the kitchen along with a family room for when you want to slip away and relax in peace. There’s also a lovely, light and bright conservatory with bi-fold doors leading to the gardens and a small office / study. Upstairs has three double bedrooms and a single bedroom, along with the stylish family bathroom. Both the master bedroom (which has built-in wardrobes and an ensuite shower room) and the bathroom have a real feeling of light and space thanks to the vaulted ceilings. The outside space is just as impressive as inside. Large south facing lawned gardens will be perfect for parties or just playing out with the kids. The full width terrace even has a wooden summerhouse. The substantial drive has space to park a fleet of cars along with a large detached outbuilding which offers so much potential. It’s split into 4 units, one of which is already used as a home gym but they could easily be converted to a separate work space/large office, an art studio or salon. There’s even space to create a self contained annexe (subject to planning permission, of course). This property isn’t just convenient for the High Street, it’s also handy for the M1 and a practical commute to Central London, with trains from Woburn Sands to Bletchley connecting you to fast West Coast Mainline services to Euston. There’s a choice of popular schools in the town, both the primary school and middle school are rated “Good” by Ofsted and are only a 2 minute drive away.
