Property description
A Victorian six double bedroom bay fronted refurbished semi detached house with off street parking for two cars, and front and rear gardens walking distance from Bedford railway station.
The house was built in 1876 and was designed by the architect Basil Champneys. The house and the neighbour one were the original site of Polam School. The property has been renovated by the vendors and has just over 3,300 sq. ft. of accommodation over four floors including a cellar. The ground floor entrance hall has the original tiled flooring and doors to two reception rooms and a refitted kitchen/dining room. The sitting room has a bay window to the front, a window to the side and an original fireplace with a patterned insert and slate hearth. The snug/study has a bay window to the side and an original fireplace. A side extension off the kitchen added a utility room and a cloakroom. There are six bedrooms and three bath or shower rooms on the top two floors. The rear garden is enclosed by walls and has paved and decked areas, one with a pergola over. The rest of the garden is lawned with established borders. The front driveway provides off street parking for up to two cars.
Kitchen/Dining/Family Room
The refitted kitchen has a range of base and wall units with granite worksurfaces incorporating a breakfast bar. Built-in appliances include a gas hob, two double ovens with grills, a warming drawer, and a microwave. There is also a built-in full height fridge, a half height freezer, and a drinks chiller. A feature central fireplace separates the kitchen from the dining/family area which has bi-fold doors to a patio in the rear garden.
Bedrooms and Bathrooms
The first floor has three double bedrooms, two with bay windows, an en suite shower room and a refitted four piece bathroom with a roll top bath, a separate shower cubicle and a feature fireplace. There are three further bedrooms on the second floor including the dual aspect principal bedroom which has a feature marble fireplace, a dressing room created by converting the seventh bedroom, and a refitted en suite shower room with a double shower cubicle. There is also a cloakroom.
Situation and Schooling
Chaucer Road is just 0.5 miles from Bedford town centre and Bedford's 80 acres Victorian park. The riverside gardens along the Great Ouse Embankment are also within 30 minutes' walk. The independent schools of the Harpur Trust are also in Bedford and the property is in the Biddenham Upper School catchment.
