5 Bedroom Detached House, Rural Living with Modern Convenience with Field Views and a Large Gated Driveway, North Beds.

For those looking to live in the countryside, in a substantial detached family home, with large gardens, a multi-car driveway and a double garage, look no further than Fairways.

Located at the top of a quiet lane, Fairways is one of the many individual residences along Moor End Road. Built in 1976 and lovingly refurbished, the last few years have seen a new kitchen, an extension to create the garden room, the fifth bedroom transformed into an office, and a dressing room added to the principal bedroom.

Ground Floor

The downstairs accommodation consists of large, bright rooms, set around a spacious hall. The generous sitting room features soft carpeting and a stunning fireplace with a Firebelly wood burner and exposed stone surround. Facing west, French doors flood the room with afternoon sunlight and warm summer breezes.

To the rear, the open-plan kitchen/dining/family room is a space ideal for cooking, eating, and relaxing, with underfloor heating throughout. The added garden room is particularly bright, with large windows on all sides, bifold doors, and a roof lantern bringing the outdoors in.

The kitchen is fitted with grey gloss cabinetry, quartz worktops, and sparkling splashbacks. Well-equipped with modern conveniences, it includes a deep sink with a boiling water tap, pantry and pull-down cupboards, and a slim wine cooler. Integrated appliances include a Neff induction hob, oven and microwave, a Bosch dishwasher, and a larder fridge.

The adjoining utility room matches the modern design, providing an integrated fridge/freezer, space for a washing machine and a tumble dryer, a cupboard with power, and access to the ground floor WC. Completing this level is a well-sized study, offering a flexible space that could function as an additional bedroom.

First Floor

Upstairs, there are four double bedrooms and a secondary office that would also work as a nursery or playroom. The principal bedroom is both spacious and cosy, benefitting the luxury of a private dressing room and an en-suite bathroom.

Bedroom two also features an en-suite, while a stylish family bathroom is shared by bedrooms three and four. The bedrooms at the back have beautiful views over the vistas behind.

Outdoor Living

The garden really makes the most of this countryside setting. While mainly lawned, a private patio in the far corner is ideal for taking in the surroundings, with a lowered section of the rear fence that allows the views to be enjoyed. Mature planted borders include wisteria, winter jasmine, honeysuckle and hibiscus. There’s access from front to back from both sides of the house.

Set back from the road, behind electric gates and a walled boundary, the front of the plot has a block-paved driveway for up to six cars, plus a double garage for two more if needed. There’s more mature planting, including a flowering cherry tree in the front lawn and sycamores along the driveway.

Location

Moor End Road sees little traffic, being away from the main Radwell Road and leading to a farm. This hamlet location is all about the landscape, nestled among fields and farmland, near lakes and the River Great Ouse, meaning countryside walks are right on your doorstep. The Sun pub at Felmersham is nearby, offering a lovely spot to eat or drink, while Milton Ernest Garden Centre is a just mile away for a stroll around the plants, a browse of their well-stocked shop, or a coffee in their cafe. Small shops, cafes, and further amenities can be found in nearby Sharnbrook.

Bedford town is just a short drive away on the A6, offering larger supermarkets, cinemas, leisure activities, and more, while the mainline train station provides fast, direct links into London in under an hour. For families, Felmersham primary school and Sharnbrook Academy are both within catchment, while Bedford’s Harpur Trust schools are also easily accessible.
