SELLER INSIGHT

The present owners Paul and Melanie were thrilled when they discovered 2 The Square. They were immediately hooked by the charming kerb appeal of this sophisticated Georgian town house, and its spacious interior.

Melanie says, “Since moving in we have refurbished the house from top to bottom, making it a bright contemporary space for modern living. We were meticulous in our use of materials and are very proud of the results.”

The house is large and full of light filled sociable places with a comfortable ambience for family relaxation, but with the ability to be an elegant, entertaining venue. Over ninety people were readily accommodated for a charity coffee morning, and flowed easily between the house and garden.

Paul explains, “The ground floor of the house has a perfect flow from room to room. We overcame the lack of a window by installing a four meter sheet of glass in the ceiling. It gives a modern streamlined kitchen an added wow factor.”

“Either side of the kitchen the reception rooms are gorgeous, positive spaces, where you can watch TV in the snug or open the sitting room doors to the garden, and invite the outside in. I love the fact that we have a small cellar where I can always have wine on hand for friends who may drop in.”

Melanie adds, “The six bedrooms over two floors are serviced by the three en suite bathrooms which prevents any queuing, and we love our huge master bedroom. It is spectacular”

The pretty walled garden is liberally scattered with pots and seasonal colour. It is a delightful place to settle for al fresco dining, and enjoys sun though the day. And in the centre of friendly Aspley Guise village it is a short walk to the local restaurants, and only a mile to where you have shops for everyday needs. Vibrant is six miles away and the M1 is a mile from the village. There is also a wide choice of country walks for dog owners on the Woburn estate, and across the golf course.

Paul and Melanie say they will miss the house and especially the close proximity of Woburn Golf Club where they made many good friends. The house has been the ideal family home in an enviable position.*
