Hollands Smith - Bedford

This established semi detached home is available with no upward chain and occupies a quiet cul-de-sac location within the popular Castle Road area, just a short stroll away from Russell Park and The Embankment. Occupied by the same owner for the last 50 years, the property has been well maintained but would now benefit from some general improvement throughout. There are separate sitting and dining room, a kitchen, utility room and ground floor WC. The first floor has three bedrooms, all with fitted storage, and a bathroom. Most of the windows have been replaced with uPVC double glazed units and, whilst there is gas to the building, there is no central heating system. Outside, there is a walled, mature and well stocked garden. Situated on the eastern edge of the 'Castle Quarter' there is a wide choice of amenities within easy reach, in addition to the park and Embankment. Castle Road has a number of independently owned cafes, coffee shops and delis. There are also restaurants and popular pubs to choose from. Bedford town centre is around a mile away and has a wider choice of shops as well as fast links into London by rail. EER: E

 OnTheMarket may have applied supplementary data to this property listing, including:

 Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on June 8, 2022

 Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. 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: <a href="https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2">https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2</a>

 Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on June 8, 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

 Energy Performance data and Internal floor area: obtained on September 22, 2024 from The Energy Performance of Buildings (Certificates and Inspections) (England and Wales) Regulations 2007 or the Home Report if in relation to a residential property in Scotland.

 Any supplementary data should not be relied upon as forming part of any property particulars and OnTheMarket cannot be held responsible for any incorrectness in this data. See <a href="https://www.onthemarket.com/terms/#other">here</a> for more information.
