5 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

Enlarged and improved by the present owners, this period semi detached home offers spacious and adaptable rooms arranged over three floors. The property is available with no upward chain and the accommodation includes separate sitting, dining and breakfast rooms as well as five bedrooms, two bathrooms and a third separate WC. There is a modern kitchen and period-style suites in the bathrooms. The converted loft space is a particular feature and could easily form a separate suite - the main bedroom has plenty of natural light and a good range of built in cupboards, there is a smaller bedroom, ideal as a study or nursery, as well as a shower room. Features of the period are in evidence including a solid fuel burner in the sitting room and cast iron fireplaces in the dining room and bedroom and there is plenty of stripped natural wood. Most of the windows have been sympathetically replaced with uPVC sashes but some original wooden sashes remain. There is gas to radiator heating from a combination boiler. Outside, there is a mostly paved courtyard style garden which is partly walled.Situated right in the heart of the 'Castle Quarter', there is a good choice of independently owned cafes and specialist shops right on the doorstep. There is also a number of popular pubs and restaurants in the area; Russell Park is very close by and the Embankment just beyond. The area is also home to the outstanding-rated Castle Newnham Primary School. Bedford town centre is a short walk away and has fast links to London St Pancras via the mainline station. EER: D
