5 bedroom detached house for sale

Set within arguably one of Bedford’s most popular locations, we are delighted to bring to the market for the first time since it was built this extended, detached, family home. Whilst already offering spacious accommodation over two floors, the property would benefit from some modernisation throughout and offers considerable scope for further alteration if desired, subject to any necessary approvals.

On the ground floor, you are greeted by an attractive wood panelled entrance hall, to the right of which is a large, double bow-fronted living room. The formal dining room flows into a well-equipped kitchen which features a breakfast bar and a range-style cooker. A good-sized utility room is conveniently located off the kitchen. The ground floor also benefits from a shower room, a conservatory-like extension, and a larger than average study which enjoys views over the garden.

Upstairs, the home offers five well-proportioned bedrooms and a dressing room. A thoughtfully designed extension over the garage has significantly enhanced the upstairs living space, creating a master bedroom with an en suite shower room and a playroom which could also serve as a large second bedroom. The remaining three bedrooms all offer various forms of fitted storage. There are two family bathrooms, one offering two separate showers and a sauna and the other benefitting from an accessible bath with a shower over.

Further benefits include gas central heating, double-glazed windows, and air conditioning throughout most of the rooms. The current owners have also installed a fully automatic lift which rises from the ground floor dining room to the first floor dressing room.

The property sits on a large mature plot with the driveway providing ample off-road parking and leading to a double width garage. There is also a further garage in the rear garden, which is predominately laid to lawn and features a vast range of mature shrubs and plants.

The location is a major highlight. The house backs onto Mowsbury Park, with a gate in the rear garden providing direct access. Mowsbury Golf & Squash Centre is within walking distance as are Mowsbury Park and Putnoe woods, ideal for leisurely walks and where a park café and public tennis courts can be found.

The property is well located for access to Bedford’s town centre with its full range of shopping, recreational and highly regarded independent and state schools. Bedford’s train station is also easily reached for fast and frequent services to the capital, as is Bedford’s southern bypass that links the A1 with the M1.
