Property description

A modern five bedroom double fronted detached home occupying a private position within landscaped gardens, including driveway parking and a double garage of just over 0.24 acres.

The property was constructed in the 1990s in a Neo-Georgian style. It has been subsequently remodelled and extended and now has approximately 4,491 sq. ft. of versatile accommodation. The main portion of the house, including three reception rooms, is accessed off a central hallway. The open plan kitchen/breakfast/family room has sliding glazed doors to the rear garden. At the rear of the house is a fully independent two storey wing which would work for multigenerational living, as a guest wing, or, as now, be used as an independent work from home wing. A galleried landing on the first floor gives access to the family bathroom, and the four double bedrooms, two of which have an en suite. A block paved driveway at the side provides access to the double width garage which is entered via two remotely operated doors, and has power connected, storage cupboards and a gas fired boiler serving the guest wing.

Entrance Hall and Reception Rooms

A pair of solid entrance doors with full height glazed panels either side open into a tiled entrance vestibule with cloaks hanging space. A door leads into the entrance hall which has a bespoke solid wood staircase to the galleried landing. The dual aspect drawing room has a feature Adam style fireplace with a marble surround housing a Real Flame gas fire. A custom built dresser is set into a wall recess, and glazed double doors lead to the rear garden. Solid double doors lead into the dining room which also has a door to the rear garden. The snug overlooks the front garden.

Kitchen/Breakfast/Family Room

The kitchen/breakfast/family room has full height dual aspect glazed sliding doors opening out to the rear garden. The kitchen is fitted in a range of modern style units including a central island with storage cupboards, and a dresser style unit, all with granite work surfaces which incorporate a sink and drainer. A range of integrated Miele appliances include an oven, an induction hob, a dishwasher, a warming drawer, a coffee machine, and a wine chiller. Travertine tiling continues into a further kitchen area which has additional storage cupboards, work surfaces, an integrated oven, a microwave, and larder fridge.

Gardens

The front garden is open plan and has a shaped lawn with borders including mature trees, shrubs, and hedgerow. A gated side access leads to the rear garden which has a paved patio area extending round the rear and side of the house and providing space for outdoor entertaining. The principally lawned garden has a raised border at the rear with mature trees and hedgerow for screening. The garden is fully enclosed by close boarded fencing.

Situation and Schooling

Biddenham lies in a loop of the River Great Ouse, before it reaches Bedford some 2 miles away. It has a church, three schools, a War Memorial, a private hospital, and a village pub. A village hall and a secondary pavilion with grounds are used for sports and other village activities. Bedford has rail services to St. Pancras International.
