Property description
A three/four bedroom detached former lodge house with a gated entrance, gardens, parking and a garage, within walking distance of Bedford town centre.
The property was built in 1872 and was originally a lodge for Clapham Park. The 1,232 sq. ft. of accommodation is mainly on the ground floor which has a kitchen/breakfast room, a sitting room with a bay window and a feature fireplace, and an additional dual aspect reception room which has access to the garden and which could be used as a fourth bedroom if desired. There are two bedrooms on the ground floor and a family bathroom with a shower over the bath. The principal bedroom suite occupies the whole of the first floor and includes an en suite bathroom. The gardens wrap around the property, are enclosed by close boarded fencing, and are mainly laid to lawn with mature trees for screening. Entrance gates open to a parking area and the single garage. The property is available now on an unfurnished basis.
History
The property is one of the lodges to Clapham Park, built in the Gothic style in 1872, and stands out in an area of modern developments. It is constructed from dark red brick with stone dressings, with a clay tiled roof. It was originally single storey but a first floor has now been created in the roof to provide additional accommodation.
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 about a mile away and has services to St Pancras International. The property is within walking distance of the Harpur Trust and other independent schools.
