Property description & features

  • Tenure: Freehold
Occupying one of the town's most sought after tree-lined avenues, this Edwardian semi detached home offers spacious and adaptable living accommodation and has views across both Russell Park and The Embankment. The ground floor has three separate reception rooms all accessed from the impressive entrance hall; the more formal front sitting rooms with bay window to the front and open fireplace with marble surround as well as built in storage, a second living room or dining room with French doors to the rear and a breakfast room leading to the well equipped kitchen. There is also a useful ground floor WC as well as a large walk-in storage cupboard. The first floor has five bedrooms including three large doubles, a smaller double and a single bedroom or study. The spacious family bathroom has a period style suite including a freestanding bath and a separate shower cubicle. Further benefits include either refurbished or replaced sash windows, gas to radiator heating from a combination boiler as well as period features such as stripped wood floors and doors. Outside, the rear garden has been beautifully landscaped and is walled all around with mature, well stocked borders screening neighbouring properties, completed by a Wisteria almost 30 years old.
Shaftesbury Avenue is conveniently located within the 'Castle Quarter' of the town just a few minutes away from the choice of independently owned cafes, coffee shops and home improvement stores. In addition to the Park and Embankment, the town centre is under a mile away and has a wider choice of shops and restaurants. Popular schools for all ages are within easy reach, including the Harpur Trust options and the outstanding-rated Castle Newnham Primary. For the commuter, Bedford's mainline rail station offers regular fast trains into London St Pancras.
