[Music] for our second offering we're heading northeast we're actually crossing over the border into Bedford sure to the hamlet of how End just outside the small market town of ant hill with an hour's journey to London's Moorgate which is close to Antony's office and just under an hour and a half for Maria up hill is a well-connected vibrant Georgian market town at second house is a few miles north of it but situated in a quiet rural setting surrounded by fields and hedgerows okay well yeah what do you think of that one Wow nice big it is big actually the big we're looking at here is a modern extension to an original house which was built in 1888 so it's late Victorian similar age really to property number one but this one has been doubled in size over the last few years Antony what are your first thoughts yeah very cute and quaint in doesn't look more than at all so yeah very very promising from the outside I'm very conscious of this character you're looking for yeah all right but with this one we've certainly gone for size to be honest with you it's very difficult to judge this from the outside the only way to really understand anything is to get inside yeah well that's a more upbeat reaction to our second house it's an interesting fusion between old and new retaining fine original features throughout we'll start in here Wow Wow that's good look at your face do you remember when we were speaking in the car earlier and I asked you what the Japanese for beautiful was ah it's the sea its cushy yeah so maybe is that very much stunning yeah yeah you're speechless this is the biggest smile yeah we've seen the memory isn't like that beam just everything well the beam is interesting I said to you earlier that the house was extended that beam represents the old external wall of the property so that was as far as it came and everything we're standing in now is the new addition the most recent addition is that fabulous Garden Room which projects out into the garden 10 out of 10 for a first impression great I mean you've got a fantastic family and entertaining area here too across the corridor there is a living room with a huge open working fireplace in it so well behind me here you've also got a wood burner which will keep you nice and warm so you've got lots of entertaining space and this wonderful kitchen and beyond it is the dining room well coming up as well as at top-scoring entertaining space the ground floor also features a huge walk-in larder and a utility room both of which are just off the dining room well the thing I like about this house is that it has different zones the garden room the kitchen and the dining room but it all flows together it's all linked which again just has this nice of a feel to it our last house you said it was 8 out of 10 is this one a bit higher yeah and today unquestionably err for me it's a 10 we stand out 10 out of 10 brilliant ok well let's say that continues and I'm confident it will as upstairs there are four good sized bedrooms but with all the rooms arranged off a central landing it's a more conventional layout than our first property two of the bedrooms are on suite including a lovely guest suite for visiting family there's also a fantastic family bathroom with roll-top bath which just leaves Antony and Maria's bedroom what amazing yeah I've never feel at full room I mean it is beautifully surprises furnished to be fair that is a super king sized bed so but it is beautifully done has a fantastic all suites as well and in terms of accommodation up here do you think there's enough space now for people to come and stay yeah I think without question I think ideally we wanted a minimum of three and four would be would be plenty good still turn out to yeah good right should we go to the garden sounds good talk about the price extending to the side of the property the gardens are enclosed and private thanks to the mature borders and trees surrounding the lawn there's also a large decked area suitable for entertaining come over here because this really is where you get a sense of the old and the new there's the 1888 bit and there's the modern part with that extension in terms of garden the green bit this is it there is a little courtyard garden that separates the house from the double garage but in terms of your gardening ambitions with this area be big enough if I could give you the keys would you like me to do that you have the keys yeah without question well how much would the keys to this place cost you you went first last time yes entity and if an optimistic 747 47:57 50 now if it were 740 or indeed 750 it would absolutely push your budget to the limit with this it's on the market at 665 Wow Wow baby you know those very pleasantly surprising yeah well given that you love it so much I think it's the icing on the cake isn't it yeah I think speechless again yeah standing well well although you have sinned most of it I think we should give you a bit more time to indulge it to shake out the atmosphere a property number two and maybe start planning maybe a move as a foot you know off you go I will catch you later on thank you [Music]
