## Description

FOUR BEDROOM OAK FRAME HOME WITH ANNEXE, DOUBLE GARAGE AND CAR PORT IN HOUGHTON CONQUEST

Built by the current owners in 2020, The Oak House combines the warmth and craftsmanship of a green oak frame with the performance of a genuinely modern home. Solar panels feed a Tesla Powerwall, so the sun’s energy can power the house well into the evening. An air source heat pump supplies the underfloor heating, and a mechanical ventilation and heat recovery (MVHR) system keeps the air fresh and filtered while retaining warmth. The result is an A rated EPC (98) and annual utility costs reported by the owners at just £1,200 to £1,500, an exceptional position for a house of this size.

It sits on a private close of only sixteen houses in a well regarded village. The main house extends to 2,703 sq ft, with 3,858 sq ft of accommodation in total including the self contained annexe, double garage and insulated workshop. It is o ered with no onward chain.

Ground Floor

An oak storm porch and solid oak double doors open into the entrance hall, where an oak staircase sets the tone for the craftsmanship throughout.

To the front, the study is a quiet room for home working. Across the hall, the sitting room (13'11" x 12'6") is a comfortable, well proportioned retreat from the open plan living beyond.

The kitchen/dining/family room runs to nearly 30 ft across the rear of the house and is its real centre. Oak trusses and braces frame the space above a herringbone oak floor. A quartz waterfall island with induction hob is the focal point of the kitchen, which also has integrated appliances including a dishwasher, fridge freezer and twin wine fridges, plus a Quooker boiling water tap and water softener. The room falls naturally into cooking, dining and seating areas.

The family end rises into a vaulted, glazed oak gable with bi-fold doors opening straight onto the terrace. A wood burner warms the room through the winter, and air conditioning keeps it comfortable through the summer. A generous utility room (11'11" x 8'8"), fitted to match the kitchen and with its own door to the garden, and a ground floor WC complete this level.

First Floor

The four bedrooms are all comfortable doubles of a similar, generous size, rather than tapering away to a box room. Exposed oak trusses run through the vaulted ceilings, with concealed lighting in places picking out the frame.The principal bedroom (18'1" x 12'1") is the standout. Doors open onto a private balcony with views over the surrounding countryside, and there are fitted wardrobes and air conditioning. The en suite is finished in textured stone e ect tiling with large format floor tiles. It has a wide walk-in rainfall shower with slate tray, a long vanity unit with twin drawers and a mirrored cabinet, all beneath a vaulted ceiling with strip lighting set between the oak beams.

Bedroom two (12'5" x 12'2") has its own en suite, fitted to the same standard with a corner shower, wall hung WC with concealed cistern and vanity basin. It makes an ideal guest room or teenager’s room.

Bedrooms three and four (12'7" x 11'2" and 12'5" x 11'3") are served by the family bathroom. This is a notably generous room with a freestanding bath beneath the window, a separate walk-in rainfall shower, a wall hung WC and a vanity unit, with an oak truss rising through the vaulted ceiling above.

The Annexe

Above the garage, reached by its own entrance and staircase, the annexe (29'9" x 17'2" max, 483 sq ft) is a bright and genuinely substantial space with a shower room and extensive eaves storage. Being entirely separate from the main house, it suits guests, a teenager, a home o ce, a studio or a dependent relative.

Its independence also gives buyers scope to explore holiday letting, subject to any necessary consents.

Garaging, Parking and Workshop

The double garage (22'3" x 20'1") has two doors and an adjoining store room (20' x 7'3"). Alongside it, a brick and oak car port and a large block paved driveway provide further parking, with an electric car charging point. An insulated workshop of 144 sq ft o ers a year round space for hobbies or practical projects.

Outdoor Living

The south east facing rear garden catches the sun through the day and is private and well screened. It is laid out in zones for di erent occasions, with lawn, a paved terrace directly o the family room, and a covered gazebo with outdoor kitchen, barbecue and pizza oven for entertaining through the warmer months. To the front, a landscaped lawn and a sandstone path lead to the oak porch.

Location

Houghton Conquest is a welcoming village with a strong community and more on the doorstep than its size suggests. The village shop and post o ce opens from eight until eight, with a bakery counter and a good range of groceries. The Knife and Cleaver, well regarded locally, is five minutes’ walk from the house. The village hall and church host clubs and events through the year, and local farm shops sell produce from the surrounding countryside.

For walkers and cyclists, King’s Wood is ten minutes away on foot and the Greensand Ridge o ers miles of routes across the surrounding landscape. Flitwick Leisure Centre is a ten minute drive.

The new Universal Studios resort at nearby Kempston Hardwick received planning approval in December 2025 and is targeting a 2031 opening.

The house is in the catchment for Houghton Conquest Lower School and the Ampthill schools, including Redborne Upper School. Ampthill itself is three miles away, with a Waitrose, independent shops, a Saturday market and a good choice of restaurants.

Flitwick and Bedford stations both o er direct trains to London St Pancras, and Milton Keynes is around thirty five minutes by car.
