More about the Location.....
Mowbray Drive is located in a sought after and peaceful position within Linslade, known mostly for being home to the 1st Linslade Scout Group's headquarters, known as "Nyamba." . The Scout Group has been part of the Linslade community since 1921, and their presence adds to the family-friendly atmosphere of the area. The properties along this road are mostly detached family homes that are rarely available with only a small handful changing hands over recent years.
Linslade, situated on the outskirts of Leighton Buzzard, straddles the borders of Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire. Once part of Buckinghamshire, it became part of Bedfordshire following boundary changes in 1965. The residential fabric of Linslade is diverse, catering to various lifestyles. From cosy apartments to expansive family homes, there's a housing option for everyone. The area boasts an abundance of green spaces, such as the serene Mentmore Memorial Park, and the inviting Linslade Woods, offering residents ample opportunities for outdoor recreation.
Linslade is renowned for its esteemed educational institutions. Lower schools like Linslade Lower, Greenleas, and Southcott Lower lay a strong foundation for young learners, while Leighton Middle School and Cedars Upper School offer comprehensive secondary education, ensuring a well-rounded academic experience for families in the area.
One of Linslade's main draws is its excellent transportation network. The mainline railway station provides swift connections to London Euston in under 35 minutes, while easy access to commuter roads like the A5, A421, A4146, and the M1 facilitates convenient travel.
Furthermore, Linslade boasts a vibrant array of local amenities, including charming cafes, delectable restaurants, convenient newsagents, and inviting coffee shops. This blend of modern convenience and small-town charm makes Linslade an idyllic and highly coveted place to call home.
Accommodation
The property boasts highly spacious accommodation throughout, set over two floors with a useable loft area totalling over 1,110 square feet.
The ground floor welcomes you with a bright entrance hallway, complete with a useful downstairs WC and access to the kitchen/breakfast room at the front, ideal for busy mornings and relaxed weekend cooking. From here, you can also step into the integral garage or through to the heart of the home: a cosy, yet spacious open-plan lounge/dining room, featuring a characterful exposed brick inglenook with a real flame gas fire that adds a real focal point for family time and evenings.
To the rear, a light-filled conservatory opens up the living space even further, providing a flexible everyday room, perfect as a play area, reading nook or an additional dining space. French doors lead directly out to the beautifully kept rear garden, creating an easy indoor outdoor flow for year round enjoyment and entertaining.
Upstairs, the home continues to deliver with four generously sized bedrooms, offering plenty of flexibility for growing families. The master bedroom benefits from a range of 'Sharps' fitted wardrobes and its own en-suite shower room, creating a calm and private retreat for adults. Another spacious double features a walk-in dressing area with mirrored wardrobes, making it ideal for older children or guests.
The remaining two bedrooms are perfect as children’s rooms, nurseries or welcoming guest spaces, and could easily double as a study or home office depending on your needs. A well-presented family bathroom serves the floor, while a landing storage cupboard and access to the loft provide those all important storage options.
Parking & Garage
To the front of the property there is a paved driveway which provides ample off road parking for up to four vehicles. There is an EV charger to the front for electric vehicles also. The garage is integral to the house, with a courtesy door inside and an electric roller door to the front. Within the garage itself there is power and light connected, plumbing for a washing machine, as well as the boiler and space for a further small vehicle. The garage offers perfect conversion potential in the future should additional accommodation be needed.
Exterior & Gardens
To the front, the property enjoys a smart and low maintenance garden design, with neatly arranged planting that brings colour and interest throughout the year. Decorative stone borders, established shrubs and shaped greenery frame the pathway to the front door, while the block-paved driveway provides ample parking and leads to the integral garage. A convenient side gate on the left allows access through to the house as well as into the garden at the back, while on the right there is a convenient space to store bins and contains a shed which will remain.
The rear garden is a real highlight of the home, offering a great blend of manicured lawn, established planting and inviting entertaining space. Directly from the conservatory, a generous resin patio creates the perfect spot for outdoor dining, barbecues or simply relaxing while the children play. The lawn stretches away from the house, framed by well tended borders and mature shrubs that provide colour and privacy throughout the seasons.
With plenty of room for garden games, raised beds or even a play set, it’s a wonderfully versatile outdoor area that will grow with your family ideal for long summer evenings, weekend gatherings and everyday outdoor living. At the end of the garden is an impressive covered garden building featuring a cedar-tiled roof, heating and lighting. Designed for year-round enjoyment, it comfortably accommodates ten-plus guests for dining or socialising outdoors in all weathers.
Utilities Connected
The property has mains water, sewerage and drainage connected. Heating is by way of mains gas to radiator powered by a gas boiler. There is mains electricity connected. Solar panels are installed to the front roof with a battery to store the generated power.
