Full Details for 5 Bedroom Detached for sale in Dunstable, LU5 :

PROPERTY SUMMARY 
Spacious Victorian family home, with period features, offering a 
cornucopia of added value incl. studio annexe with kitchen & shower 
room. In excess of 2500 internal square feet; potential for several 
dwellings (subject to planning). 



DESCRIPTION 
This extensive light and spacious ‘wow’ factor property has been a well-loved professional and family home for 16 years. It’s a hidden gem of local cultural significance and offers the added benefit of being in walking distance of both the town centre and new electric bus route (your connection to London Luton Airport and London St Pancras). This proximity to London, coupled with inspiring town centre re-development plans and new motorway junction (diverting heavy traffic away from the town centre), add to the great potential investment opportunity offered by this property. 

We know it’s a cliché but THIS PROPERTY REALLY DOES NEED TO BE SEEN TO BE APPRECIATED. That’s why we are inviting you to an open house weekend viewing. Book your appointment now.

VENDOR STATEMENT 
We moved from London and bought this house in 1999. It has been a fantastic family home for 16 years and a wonderful place to raise our children. 
Our business has thrived due to national road networks (M1, A5), proximity to Luton airport (15 minutes’ drive) and the new Busway affords easy access to Luton railway station in about ten minutes. Our son, at London University, can travel back from St Pancras door to door in 25 minutes! 
We are in catchment for good local primary and secondary schools. There is a small independent mixed school (taking pupils from age 3 to 11) around the corner and Beechwood Prep school is a 15 minute drive away in Markyate. 
The lovely Blows Downs are virtually outside our back door (with Tennis Club and football pitch). There is a great 6 mile cycle path alongside the Busway with fabulous views of the Downs (a treat for dog- walkers and nature lovers). Nationally famous Ashridge Forest, Dunstable Downs, London Gliding Club and Whipsnade Zoo are all just 10-15 minutes drive away. We regularly took the children to the Downs to fly kites; and for 5 years had season tickets to the zoo – which became our after school and weekend ‘playground’. 
Dunstable has a thriving economy with good local amenities - supermarkets, banks, coffee shops, pharmacies, boutiques and thriving local market. There are also some great family run restaurants (Greek, Turkish, Thai, Italian, Chinese and Indian); the Grove Theatre, which stages West End touring shows, music acts, local theatre and films; a bowling Alley & leisure centre; and a number of good gyms. If that’s not enough, Milton Keynes offering its massive shopping centre, myriad restaurants, cinemas, ice skating rink, theatre, etc. is just 20 minutes drive away. 
We have had a fantastic sixteen years in our beautiful home, enjoying garden parties, huge family Christmases (around our ten foot Christmas tree), and all the good things that this large house and surroundings have to offer. With children grown and flown the nest we leave, to downsize, with many happy memories.
