Property description

A 1930s three bedroom bay-fronted detached property on a no through road within walking distance of the town centre, both train stations, and the Harpur Trust schools.

The property has been extended on the ground floor and undergone many improvements made by the current vendors. The over 1,370 sq. ft. of accommodation includes an entrance hall with a staircase, with understairs storage, to the first floor, and a cloakroom. The sitting room has a feature fireplace housing a log burning stove, and a bay window to the front. There is also a home office which was converted from the garage. A major feature of the property is the kitchen/dining/family room which extends across the entire rear of the house, and has a bi-fold door extending the room into the rear garden. On the first floor there are three bedrooms. The principal bedroom has a bay window to the front. Bedroom two has a range of fitted wardrobes with mirrored doors spanning one wall and a window to the rear. There is also a refitted three piece family bathroom and a separate laundry room with space for a tumble dryer. The front driveway provides parking for up to three cars.

Kitchen/Dining/Family Room

The open plan kitchen/dining/family room measures over 21 ft. and was renovated a year ago. The kitchen is fitted with a range of contemporary base and wall units with complementary work surfaces incorporating a breakfast bar and an inset sink. There is a Rangemaster cooker with an extractor over, which is to remain, and there is plumbing and space for a dishwasher, a washing machine, and a tall fridge/freezer. In addition to the bi-fold door, natural light is provided by a remotely controlled Velux skylight.

Rear Garden and Front

The rear garden is enclosed by timber panelled fencing and has an artificial lawn with flower and shrub borders. At the rear of the garden is a raised wooden decked seating area with a timber pergola. At the front, the driveway is enclosed by a low brick wall and leads directly to the front door and the home office.

Situation and Schooling

Local amenities include a supermarket and a public house/restaurant and the property is approximately 10-15 minutes’ walk from Bedford town centre. Bedford St. Johns station is about a 13 minute’ walk. The property is also within walking distance of Bedford's 60-acre Victorian park and is within 5 minutes’ walk of Bedford Girls’ School and The Embankment of the River Great Ouse.
