Property description

An early 1900s five/six bedroom detached bay fronted house with driveway parking, two detached garages and just under 0.5 acres of private gardens.

The property is for sale with vacant possession and no upward chain. The internal space gives an incoming purchaser the opportunity to refurbish, upgrade and potentially extend the property to their own individual style and requirements. On the ground floor the hall has an exposed original tiled floor. There are three main reception rooms, a study, a garden room, a kitchen/breakfast room with a pantry, a separate utility room, two cloakrooms and a shower room. The morning room, study and refitted shower room could be used as a ground floor bedroom suite if required. There are five bedrooms over the first and second floors. The principal bedroom has an en suite, and there is a family bathroom. The gravelled in-out driveway provides parking and access to a detached brick garage which has twin timber doors and an attached former stable which is used as a garden machinery store/workshop. The gardens are fully enclosed by high mature hedgerow and are a major feature of the property.

Entrance Hall and Principal Reception Rooms

The entrance hall has a deep built-in cloaks cupboard, moulded covings which continue in some of the rooms, and a staircase to the first floor. The sitting room has an ornate Adam style fireplace with inset gas fire and natural light from triple aspect windows and a glazed door to the rear garden. The dining room has a former fireplace recess with a built-in shelved cupboard on one side. The morning room has a bay window to the front overlooking the driveway and a part glazed door to the side.

Kitchen/Breakfast Room and Garden Room

The kitchen/breakfast room has a bay window and a range of cream fronted Shaker style units with an inset sink, a fitted electric oven, a gas hob with extractor and space for a dishwasher. A feature arch leads to an inner hall with a shelved pantry and a door to the dining room. The garden room is of brick, timber and glazed construction under a pitched glazed roof and has a flagstone floor and door to the front garden.

Gardens

The front garden is enclosed by high mature hedgerow and has a lawn and established borders and mature trees. The rear garden is enclosed on all sides by established trees including Poplars and a variety of fruit trees, providing a high level of screening and privacy. It is principally lawned with a paved patio and established borders.

Situation and Schooling

Biddenham dates back to before the Domesday Book and its diverse architecture includes a thatched public house and cottages, an ancient church, a village hall, a sports pavilion, lower and middle schools and playing fields. The choice of schooling includes the Harpur Trust independent schools in Bedford. There is a wide range of nearby leisure facilities including indoor snow skiing, water skiing, sailing, motor racing, fishing, golf, shooting, rowing, swimming, cricket, rugby, tennis and horse racing. There is also a choice of local health and fitness clubs.
