Property description

An Edwardian five double bedroom detached property situated on one of Bedford’s premium residential roads with private enclosed gardens, driveway parking, and views over Bedford School’s playing fields to the front.

The property has over 2,413 sq. ft. of accommodation over three floors with original features including exposed wooden flooring, pine doors with matching architraves, and fireplaces. On the ground floor there are three reception rooms, an open plan kitchen leading directly into the dining room, and a cloakroom. The five double bedrooms are on the first and second floors, each served by refitted bath and shower rooms with contemporary sanitaryware. The principal bedroom is on the second floor and enjoys views of Bedford School's playing fields to the front as well as a walk-in wardrobe and additional fitted wardrobes. The front garden is enclosed to the front and side by a dwarf wall with a gravelled and paved driveway providing parking. Surrounding borders are planted with a variety of trees, shrubs, and plants. To the side of the house is a secure gated entrance and a pathway accessing both this and the neighbouring property, which also accesses the rear garden.

Entrance Hall and Reception Rooms

The original pine and part glazed entrance door opens into the chequered tiled hallway that includes the original oak staircase to the first floor. The sitting room features a sash box bay window and an original fireplace with a raised hearth housing a log burning stove. The family room has a feature fireplace, also with a log burning stove and an original part glazed door with flanking sash windows opening to the rear garden. The study features a corner storage cupboard, a range of fitted bookshelves, and a former fireplace recess. The reception rooms all have moulded coved ceilings and picture rails.

The kitchen is fitted with Shaker style units, including glazed display cabinets and marble worksurfaces with an inset double sink unit. Integrated appliances include an electric double oven and an induction hob with an extractor over. There is space for a dishwasher, a wine cooler, and an American style fridge/freezer. An aperture leads to the recently extended dining room with full-length, full-height sliding doors to the rear garden, a lantern skylight, and a contemporary tiled floor.

The southeast facing rear garden is enclosed by brick walls, fencing, and mature hedgerow, providing privacy. It has been landscaped and principally lawned with a raised border on one side. There is a walled outdoor entertaining area featuring an outdoor kitchen including a barbeque and a pizza oven. At the end of the garden is a further dining area with a timber pergola. Situated to the rear of the dining room is a purpose-built barn with double doors and power connected.
