A Victorian bay fronted eight bedroom semi detached property with panoramic views of Bedford’s riverside Embankment of the Great Ouse, for sale with no upper chain. The property was built in the 1800s and is in a conservation area. Retained original features include a mosaic tiled floor in the hall, moulded covings, deep skirtings, picture rails and ceiling roses. There is over 4,100 sq. ft. of accommodation over four floors including a cellar. The property has been let for a number of years and does require a full refurbishment and reconfiguration of rooms. On the ground floor there are currently four reception rooms, a kitchen, a utility room, a bathroom and a shower room. The first floor has five bedrooms and separate bath and shower rooms and there are three bedrooms, a shower room and a kitchenette on the second floor.

The front garden is bordered by a low wall with a gravelled area behind providing parking for one car. A path leads to the entrance door. A gated side access leads to the walled rear garden which requires landscaping.

    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
