Property description
An Edwardian four/five bedroom semi detached property with landscaped gardens and views to the front of both Russell Park and Bedford’s riverside Embankment.
The property has been refurbished, carefully blending modern amenities with retained traditional features including feature fireplaces, moulded covings, and stripped internal doors, some with stained glass panels and skylights. The 2,596 sq. ft. of accommodation includes a sitting room, and an open plan refitted kitchen/dining/family room spanning the rear of the house allowing a free flow through the space, for modern family life and entertaining. There is also a snug and a cloakroom on the ground floor. The first floor has original stripped doors to the four bedrooms and family shower room. The principal bedroom has an en suite bathroom with contemporary sanitaryware. One of the bedrooms is currently used as a dressing room and has a range of custom built furniture. On the second floor is the guest bedroom which has an original fireplace, custom built wardrobes and eaves storage cupboards, and a door into a kitchenette and an en suite bathroom with access to a walk-in roof space.
Reception Rooms
At the front of the house with a box bay window overlooking Russell Park is the sitting room which has an exposed polished French oak floor, and an original fireplace surround with an inset real effect Living Flame fire. Double doors from the kitchen/dining/family room lead into the conservatory which has double doors to the rear terrace. The snug has original built-in floor to ceiling storage cupboards and a glazed door to the side.
Kitchen/Dining/Family Room
The kitchen/dining/family room has been refitted in a range of custom built Shaker style cabinets, including a central island incorporating a breakfast bar, all with quartz work surfaces with a sink and drainer. Integrated appliances include two electric ovens, an induction hob with extractor over, a microwave, dishwasher, a tall fridge and separate freezer, a washing machine, tumble dryer and an undercounter fridge. Glazed double doors open to a paved terrace in the rear garden.
Outside
The front is enclosed by an ornate wall with wrought iron gate to a block paved path to the front door. A gated side access leads to the walled rear garden which has been landscaped for ease of maintenance. It has a raised paved outdoor entertaining area, a path to a further paved patio at the bottom of the garden, artificial lawn set either side and established borders. There is a garden shed. The detached single garage has a remotely operated door with power connected and is accessed via Tennyson Road which runs behind Shaftesbury Avenue.
Situation and Schooling
The property is within walking distance of the Castle Quarter which has several shops including coffee shops, a butcher's shop and a supermarket. Russell Park and The Embankment are also within walking distance. Bedford railway station is about 2 miles away with trains to London St. Pancras International. Bedford has a range of shops as well as the independent Harpur Trust schools. The nearest school is Castle Lower School and there are GPs' surgeries in Rothsay Gardens and Goldington Road, both just a few minutes' walk away.
