  • Parking
  • Extended
  • Character Features
  • High Specification
  • Three Reception Rooms

Ground Floor 

A spacious entrance hall with intricately detailed parquet flooring offers an immediate sense of elegance and craftsmanship. To the right is the first of three reception rooms, a family room with a bay window, bespoke shutters, and built-in cupboards framing an open fireplace. Across the hallway, the second reception room also features an open fireplace, sash windows with custom shutters, and retains its original ceiling coving, picture rails, and dado rails—enhancing the room’s grand feel. Towards the rear of the house, a dual-aspect study benefits from natural light and features another open fireplace. 

The heart of this home lies in the impressive rear kitchen extension. Bright and spacious, this area features large sliding doors that open onto the garden, a large window with a window seat, and ample room for a dining table. The hand-built kitchen showcases light marble countertops, a central island, a range cooker, and integrated appliances. The space is complemented by large-format Fired Earth porcelain tiles with underfloor heating for added comfort. Adjacent is a generous utility room, complete with shaker-style units, providing space for a washing machine and tumble dryer. A convenient downstairs WC is located next to the utility room. 

 First and Second Floors 

Bedroom one, situated at the front of the home, is generously proportioned and features a large bay window, two bespoke built-in wardrobes, a feature fireplace, and a spacious ensuite bathroom. The ensuite includes a walk-in shower, freestanding bath, double sinks, and sleek, contemporary fittings.  

Bedroom two, located at the rear, overlooks the garden and offers a private dressing room and a large bathroom with a walk-in shower, tiled finishes, and modern sanitary ware. Bedrooms five and six, also on the first floor, are both spacious doubles. Bedroom five, at the front, includes custom shutters and a feature fireplace. On the second floor, there are two more generously sized double bedrooms with eaves storage and dual-aspect views. These bedrooms share a well-appointed bathroom with a walk-in shower and modern fixtures. 

Outside 

The property features off-street parking on the driveway, with gated access leading to the beautifully maintained walled rear garden. The garden offers privacy with tall trellises along the right-hand side, lush lawns, and established borders. A paved terrace provides a perfect space for outdoor entertaining. The garage includes twin timber doors and is equipped with power. 

Location

The property is in the town centre with various shops including coffee shops, a supermarket and public houses and restaurants. Bedford Park, Russell Park and The Embankment are also within walking distance. The mainline railway station is approximately 1 mile away and has services to St Pancras International taking 41 minutes. Bedford has a large range of shops. The property is in the catchment for Castle Newnham School which is rated as Outstanding by Ofsted, and there are also the Harpur Trust and other independent schools.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on April 6, 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: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on April 6, 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
