Greenfields| Astwick | Bedfordshire | SG5 4BJ Step inside ‘Greenfields’ ‘Greenfields’ is a six bedroom, 3000SQFT detached house sitting on an impressive five and a 1/4 acres of land including paddock, orchard and stunning river frontage located in a rural position on the fringes of the village of Astwick, within 0.5miles from the A1 (M). Offering stunning countryside views from all angles this is a rare opportunity indeed and offers any new buyer the opportunity to acquire a substantial home and plot set up for both equestrian use or for a potential small holding. With no near neighbours overlooking the property the home itself offers impressive dimensions throughout featuring four reception rooms and six bedrooms. It is worth mentioning that the layout of this property also gives any new buyer the option to sub divide into both main house and an adjoining annexe. Accessed via a five bar gate leading to a car port and drive the property also features a number of outbuildings including a barn, four stables and workshop. Perfect for that lifestyle change from town to country this is a property that will be able to cater for a multitude of uses and is even more impressive than its pictures depict. The property has two entrances with covered porches with one entrance leading to the main hallway and the other with access to the utility room. Downstairs is versatile and well balanced. Its generous proportions are seen throughout the entire downstairs comprised of hallway, kitchen, dining room, sitting room, family room, utility room, cloakroom and two integral conservatories, the main being over 40ft in length. Although the current layout hosts a large utility room adjacent to the kitchen this could easily be opened up (S.T.P.P) to create a magnificent kitchen/diner. The kitchen is currently fitted with a range or base and wall units with a recently refurbished AGA. The utility is also fitted with further base and wall units and includes a sink and breakfast bar. The family room is located at the rear of the property and is currently utilized for home working with smaller conservatory used as a place to look out across the grounds beyond. The sitting room and dining rooms again look over the gardens with the sitting room enjoying a tripe aspect which also leads to the conservatory via a set of French doors. Upstairs is comprised of five to six bedrooms depending on how one wishes to use them and two bathrooms with separate upstairs cloakroom. The main bedroom features its own external decked balcony overlooking the orchard and grounds below with an adjoining bathroom which we believe could create an integrated en-suite. As mentioned, the upstairs has great potential to create a self contained annexe for the possible use for a nanny, teenage children or relative. The sixth bedroom has its own access from an external staircase at the side of the property with one of the smaller bedrooms adjoining ideal for conversion to a sitting area. Step outside Greenfields With 5 ¼ acres of total land to explore, the grounds immediately surrounding the house are deemed the more formal accessed via a five bar gate, drive and large car port for multiple vehicles. A charming orchard sits at the side of the house and is wide enough for activities/play for children to enjoy. Continuing further and a manicured area of lawn with various flower beds separates the paddock by mature hedging providing easy access to a wealth of open space beyond. Stepping foot into this area provides a whole new perspective to the property which is barely visible at its base end. A number of outbuilding formulate to one side of the grounds and comprise of a timber workshop, open barn, summer house and stable block. From a small private gate the grounds continue into a further paddock, this time enjoying a picturesque river frontage complete with bridge, covered seating and further lawn/woodland at its far end.
