Charming Family Home with Countryside Views in Popular Wilstead Village

Welcome to this beautifully presented four-bedroom detached home, perfect for growing families or anyone seeking a little more space and a lot more charm! Tucked away in the ever-popular village of Wilstead, just 6 miles south of Bedford, this property offers the perfect blend of countryside living with all the essentials close at hand.

Step under the canopy porch and into a warm and welcoming entrance hall, where oak flooring sets the tone for the stylish interior that follows. To the front, the lounge is a bright and relaxing space, complete with a bay window that fills the room with natural light. Flowing through to the dining room, there’s plenty of room to entertain or enjoy family dinners. The extended kitchen is a real heart-of-the-home space, with solid wood worktops, modern fittings, and ample storage. Adjacent to this is a practical utility room—ideal for keeping the day-to-day bits tucked out of sight.

Upstairs, the master bedroom boasts its own en-suite shower room, giving you that little luxury of privacy. There are two further generously sized double bedrooms and a spacious single room, perfect for a nursery, home office, or cosy guest space.

The garage has been thoughtfully divided—retaining front storage with an electric roller shutter door, while the rear has been converted into the handy utility area. Outside, the front garden is neat and low-maintenance, with a driveway providing off-road parking. To the rear, the mature garden is mainly laid to lawn, offering a peaceful retreat with open fields beyond—perfect for enjoying a quiet morning coffee or lively summer BBQs.

The property features UPVC double glazing throughout, ensuring comfort all year round, and is stylishly finished from top to bottom.

Wilstead offers a great community vibe with a post office and general store, a pharmacy, two friendly pubs/restaurants, tasty Chinese and Indian takeaways, a village hall, church, and a well-regarded lower school. With easy access to the A6, A1(M), M1 and fast trains from Bedford to London St Pancras, this location strikes the ideal balance between rural life and city connections.
