Clifton Road, Shefford, SG17 5AG

A Unique and Deceptively Spacious 5-Bedroom Detached Home in the Heart of Shefford

Built in 1908 using beautiful Arlesey white brick, this charming detached residence offers over 2,600 sq. ft. of versatile living space — a true Tardis of a home, full of character and flexibility.

Step into the welcoming entrance hall, where a stunning sky lantern floods the space with natural light, creating the perfect boot room or casual arrival area. The dual-aspect lounge/diner features a gas fireplace and flows seamlessly into the generous kitchen/breakfast room, complete with a walk-in pantry, separate utility room, and downstairs WC.

From the inner hallway, you’ll find a dedicated study and a cosy family room, with access to the rear entrance porch and garden — ideal for busy family life or working from home.

Upstairs, there are four spacious double bedrooms and a well-proportioned single room, with an en suite to the master bedroom and a stylish four piece family bathroom. Some bedrooms benefit from built-in wardrobes, and there’s also an airing cupboard for additional storage. A steep staircase leads up to the loft, offering a wealth of possibilities — studio, hobby space — with plentiful eaves storage.

Outside, the mature garden is both private and pretty, featuring original brick outbuildings including a WC, a garage, and a driveway for off-street parking.

If you’re looking for flexible, generous accommodation in central Shefford — with unique period charm and scope for multi-functional living — this one-of-a-kind home is not to be missed.
