5 bed semi-detached house for sale

Castle Road, Bedford MK40

This is an excellent opportunity to acquire a character property that was constructed in 1891 and that has been well cared for and much improved by the current owners and now boasts stylishly decorated and fitted family accommodation spread out over three floors and located in the ever-popular Castle Quarter.

A storm porch protects the front door from the elements beyond which sits a welcoming entrance hall with stripped wooden flooring, stairs that rise to the first floor and access to the principal reception rooms.

The living room is box bay fronted with fitted shutters, a feature fireplace and decorative cornicing and nicely complements the family/music room with its own decorative cornicing, feature fireplace, stripped wooden floor and French doors leading outside.

A newly fitted cloakroom is also located off the hall before feature glazed doors lead in to the remodelled and refitted kitchen with its central island and comprehensive range of units featuring integrated appliances including two ovens, one that incorporates a microwave, a fridge and freezer, an induction hob and a ‘boiling’ hot water tap. A brand-new statement window, manufactured by Crittall, overlooks the rear garden and has French doors to enable direct access out in to the garden.

The main bedroom is located at the rear of the property overlooking the rear garden and benefitting from fitted wardrobes and a lovely en suite bathroom. There are two further double bedrooms served by a large family bathroom with a freestanding bath and there is a study overlooking the front that could easily double as a nursery or fifth bedroom.

On the second floor there is a good double bedroom and an independent shower room.

Additional benefits include gas fired central heating.

Externally the front garden is bounded by a low brick wall with a beautiful tiled path leading to the front door. There is access to the side leading to the rear garden. The rear garden is fully enclosed and laid to lawn with a block paved patio, established borders and a summer house.

Castle Road is just so well located with so much within walking distance, not just the River Great Ouse where cafes, restaurants and bars can be found but also schools, Bedford School for Girls is just the other side of the river (there is a bridge!) and Bedford School for Boys is also very conveniently placed. Further private and state schools are also available.

There is easy access to Bedford’s town centre and also Bedford’s mainline station offering fast and frequent services to the capital and beyond. Bedford’s southern bypass links the A1 to the M1.
