Property description
A Victorian brick under clay tile double bay fronted three storey detached property on a corner plot with walled gardens, situated in the heart of Bedford's Castle Quarter, two minutes’ walk from Bedford's Embankment.
The property has been restored and refurbished, with attention paid to retaining many of the original 19th-century features, including fireplaces, moulded cornices, picture and dado rails and sash windows. The accommodation extends to approximately 2,472 sq. ft., and includes two reception rooms, a cloakroom, an open plan kitchen/breakfast family room and a utility/boot room. The five double bedrooms are on the first and second floors. The principal bedroom has an en suite bathroom with a built-in wardrobe and a separate WC. The en suite has a roll top bath, a walk-in screened shower enclosure, and twin wash basins. Additional bath/shower rooms are on each floor. The front garden is bound by an ornate wall with inset iron railings, a matching gate, and a tiled pathway, with flanking borders. Twin timber gates lead to the driveway, providing parking for up to four cars.
Entrance Hall and Reception Rooms
The entrance hall has the original mosaic tiled floor and a staircase with individual turned balusters. Character features include moulded ceiling covings and picture and dado rails, which continue throughout the house. Both reception rooms are situated at the front of the property and feature bay windows, traditional fireplaces, and ceiling roses. In addition, the sitting room has a range of bespoke shelved dressers set either side of the chimney breast.
Kitchen/Breakfast/Family Room
With an oak effect tiled floor, the open plan kitchen/breakfast/family room has a bay window at the side overlooking the garden. It is fitted with painted, Shaker style units, with a central island and a breakfast bar, all with quartz worksurfaces. There is space for a range style oven, a larder fridge, a freezer, a dishwasher, and a wine chiller.
Rear Garden
A gated access leads to the rear garden which is principally laid to lawn and enclosed by brick walls with mature trees behind. There is a paved outdoor sitting area and a brick- built storage barn.
Situation and Schooling
The property is in the Castle Quarter which has shops including coffee shops, a butcher's shop, and a supermarket. Russell Park and The Embankment are 2 minutes’ walk. Bedford town centre has a larger range of shops and the independent Harpur Trust schools. The nearest school is Castle Lower School which is 5 minutes’ walk, and there are doctors' surgeries in Rothsay Gardens and Goldington Road, both within 10 minutes' walk.
