We are delighted to offer for sale a rare chance to purchase this very spacious three storey Victorian town house located on Bedford's famed Embankment and offering around 3,900 square feet of living space.

The property has been subject to a complete modernisation programme by the sellers and now offers a wonderful range of retained and reinstated features, combined with some contemporary touches.

This home is approached via a storm porch which leads directly to the striking tiled entrance hall, which very much sets the tone for the property from the off. The front reception room features a large feature open fireplace with an oak surround and mantle mirrors and with south facing river views via its box bay window, it is a delightful area to enjoy. The second reception room has a fireplace containing a wood burning stove and has doors to the back of the house.

To the rear of the house, the redesigned kitchen/breakfast room offers a contemporary design with white fronted units and granite worktops. The island is fitted with a contrasting finish and offers seating space. There are integrated appliances and there is space for a range style cooker and an American style fridge/freezer. Herringbone designed flooring runs throughout this area, with sliding doors offering access to the rear garden.

Also on the ground floor there is a well-planned and thought out utility room and also a cloakroom.

Over the first and second floor there are seven bedrooms, plus a box room which adjoins the master bedroom which could potentially be converted to an en suite if required. The bath/shower facilities are located on the first floor and include a refitted fully tiled shower room containing a large walk-in shower, a WC and a wash hand basin set within a vanity unit. There is also a further bathroom and an additional WC.

The property has some replacement double glazing, some sash windows, gas fired central heating and also an excellent cellar for storage purposes.

Outside and to the front, there is a part walled frontage with railings and some shrubs. To the rear, the garden is also walled and stocked with some shrubs and plants. It is mainly laid to lawn, but enjoys a patio area.

The Embankment is one of Bedford's most prestigious locations with its commanding views across the River Great Ouse and its easy access to a wide variety of facilities including shops, restaurants, sporting facilities and Bedford's wide ranging schools both in the private and state sectors.

Bedford is easily accessed from all directions and its southern bypass (A421) links the A1 with the M1 (J13).

Bedford's mainline station is within walking distance offering fast and regular services to London and beyond.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on December 16, 2021

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on January 4, 2022

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services

    Energy Performance data and Internal floor area: obtained on October 13, 2011 from The Energy Performance of Buildings (Certificates and Inspections) (England and Wales) Regulations 2007 or the Home Report if in relation to a residential property in Scotland.
