Property description

A Victorian bay fronted seven bedroom link detached house with just under 0.11 acres and west facing walled rear gardens within walking distance of the town centre, Embankment and Harpur Trust Schools.

Over the last 21 years, the property has been refurbished and restyled blending modern amenities with period features, including fireplaces, moulded ceiling cornices, picture rails and deep skirtings. The 3,798 sq. ft. of accommodation is over four floors and includes a four room cellar, an entrance hall, a sitting room with a bay window, and an open plan kitchen/dining room at the rear with steps down to a rear hall and cloakroom. An original staircase with a sweeping handrail leads to the first floor which has a laundry room, three bedrooms, a family bathroom with period style sanitaryware, and a separate wet room. The second floor landing has access to the roof space and there are four additional bedrooms and a shower room. The front garden is enclosed by a dwarf wall with inset railings. A gravel driveway provides parking for two cars.

Kitchen/Dining Room

The dining room has a carved feature fireplace housing a log burning stove, and French doors to a raised decked terrace. Exposed wood flooring continues through a wide aperture to the kitchen which has a range of oak and hand painted Shaker style units with hardwood work surfaces. A central island has Corian worksurfaces and an inset sink and drainer. Integrated appliances include a range cooker with extractor over, a dishwasher, fridge/freezer and microwave.

Master Bedroom and Family Bathroom

The master bedroom has a marble fireplace and a sash window to the front. The family bathroom is a major feature and includes a corner Ball and Claw footed bath with a Monsoon style shower, a wash basin set on a painted traditional style vanity unit, and a WC. There is a feature fireplace and a slate tiled and parquet floor.

Rear Garden

A passageway at the side leads to the west facing rear garden which backs onto the grounds of Bedford School. It is a particular feature of the property and is walled all round providing screening and privacy. Immediately to the rear of the house is a tiered decked outdoor entertaining area. The central lawn has established borders and mature trees including fruit trees.

Situation and Schooling

The property is in the historic centre of Bedford, between Bedford Park, Russell Park and the Embankment. It is just outside the Castle Quarter with its cafes, public houses, restaurants, supermarket and independent shops. The mainline railway station is about1 mile away and has services to St Pancras International in 41 minutes. The property is in catchment for Castle Newnham School, which is rated Outstanding by Ofsted, and within walking distance of the Harpur Trust and other independent schools.
