Set on Waterloo Road, and just a few moments walk from Bedfords famed Embankment, this superb bay-fronted five bedroom Victorian home is offered in beautiful order throughout.
There have been a number of recent improvements and there are many retained and reinstated features throughout.

The property is approached via a reclaimed Victorian tiled footpath, with the entrance hall accessed through a stunning front door with side transoms, both with stained glass detailing.
The entrance hall itself sets the tone of what is to follow and has exposed floorboards, ornate coving, deep skirting boards and a Victorian style radiator.
The former sitting and family rooms have now been combined, creating a superb through reception room with many attractive features which include matching open fireplaces, a box bay window to the front and doors to the rear. Advancing from the hall to the rear of the property, the dining room has painted floor boards, double French doors and a fireplace.
To the back of the property, the kitchen/breakfast room is a particular feature and has been extended to the rear with the inclusion of a roof lantern. There is space for a large dining table and breakfast can be also be accommodated with further seating at the granite and copper topped island. The kitchen comprises a range of hand-built painted units and there is space for a range cooker and varying integrated appliances which include a wine cooler. There is also a fireplace with a wood burning stove, wood effect tiled flooring with underfloor heating and doors to the garden.
On the first floor the large bay fronted master bedroom is located to the front and has a fireplace and a quality en suite complete with a large walk-in shower. Also on the first floor there are two further double bedrooms which both have fitted wardrobe space. The first floor is completed by a breath taking family bathroom which includes a ball and claw bath, a walk-in shower and his and hers wash hand basins within a granite surround set within a handcrafted vanity unit.
On the second floor there are two further bedrooms and an additional refitted shower room.
All bath/shower rooms have underfloor heating.
Additional features include a ground floor cloakroom, gas fired central heating, sash windows and Victorian style radiators.
To the rear there is a good size and very well stocked walled garden with reclaimed brick patio areas. The remainder of the garden is laid to lawn and there is access to the front elevation.
Waterloo Road is within walking distance of Bedfords town centre facilities which include a wide range of shops, cafes and restaurants, both independent and larger well known household names. Popular state schools and those of the Harpur Trust are within easy reach and for the commuter, there are fast and frequent mainline rail services to the capital and beyond.

Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on January 19, 2022

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
