Occupying the entire top floor of a modern, purpose-built development, this three bedroom penthouse apartment offers generous accommodation, excellent natural light and a uniquely private layout, all within five minutes of Bedford’s mainline railway station, providing a convenient 40-minute commute to London St Pancras International.
Accessed via a communal entrance hall with both staircase and lift, the penthouse enjoys its own private staircase and landing, used exclusively by this apartment. The welcoming reception hall, currently arranged as a study/home office, features a part-sloping ceiling, exposed wood-effect flooring, a Velux skylight, and access to the roof space, setting the tone for the character found throughout.
The dual-aspect living/dining room is a standout space, with a distinctive diamond-shaped front window set into the sloping ceiling and an additional Velux window providing excellent natural light. The dual-aspect kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a comprehensive range of units and includes space for a fridge/freezer. A separate utility room offers further fitted storage, plumbing for a washing machine, and houses the wall-mounted gas boiler.
The master bedroom is dual aspect and benefits from a stylish en-suite shower room and fitted wardrobes, while the guest bedroom also offers dual-aspect views and sloping ceilings. Bedroom three features a Velux window and fitted wardrobes and a well-appointed three piece family bathroom completes the accommodation.
Outside, the development enjoys communal gardens to the front and rear, enhanced by mature trees and well-stocked borders. The property includes one allocated parking space to the rear, with two visitor spaces available at the front of the block.
Shakespeare Road is well located for access to the A6 connecting Bedford to the M1 and A1 via the A421 southern bypass and is also well placed for local Sainsbury and Aldi supermarkets and schooling in both the private and state sectors.
Bedford’s town centre with its wider range of facilities is also within walking distance as are many other recreational amenities. Bedford’s mainline station offering fast and frequent services to the capital and beyond is just a short walk away.
