Description

 
A Charming Three-Bedroom Family Home in the Heart of Shefford
Tucked away in a delightful mews setting, this beautifully presented three-bedroom link-terraced home offers far more than the average property. Set on a generous corner plot, it boasts a larger-than-expected landscaped garden, a garage with power, and parking for up to three vehicles.
On entering, you are welcomed by a spacious hallway with cloakroom and stairs to the first floor. The lounge is a well-proportioned square-shaped room, enhanced by patio doors leading directly to the patio and rear garden. The modern kitchen/diner runs from front to back, fitted with integrated appliances and providing ample space for family meals and entertaining. A conservatory extends the living space further, the perfect spot to relax and enjoy views of the garden, complete with French doors and a dog flap for convenience.
Upstairs, there are three bedrooms – two doubles, both with fitted wardrobes. The master bedroom also benefits from an en-suite shower room, while the family bathroom and airing cupboard complete the first floor.
Outside, the front offers a pleasant seating area ideal for enjoying the evening sun. The rear garden is a standout feature – larger than average thanks to the corner plot – landscaped with multiple seating areas to capture the sun throughout the day, and complete with a shed.
