Oaklands Road, Bedford, MK40

Ground Floor 

A spacious entrance hall with intricately detailed parquet flooring offers an immediate sense of elegance and craftsmanship. To the right is the first of three reception rooms, a family room with a bay window, bespoke shutters, and built-in cupboards framing an open fireplace. Across the hallway, the second reception room also features an open fireplace, sash windows with custom shutters, and retains its original ceiling coving, picture rails, and dado rails—enhancing the room’s grand feel. Towards the rear of the house, a dual-aspect study benefits from natural light and features another open fireplace. 

The heart of this home lies in the impressive rear kitchen extension. Bright and spacious, this area features large sliding doors that open onto the garden, a large window with a window seat, and ample room for a dining table. The hand-built kitchen showcases light marble countertops, a central island, a range cooker, and integrated appliances. The space is complemented by large-format Fired Earth porcelain tiles with underfloor heating for added comfort. Adjacent is a generous utility room, complete with shaker-style units, providing space for a washing machine and tumble dryer. A convenient downstairs WC is located next to the utility room.
