George Street, Bedford

- Press Option 1 for Sales, then Option 2 for the Bedford Office -

This beautiful semi-detached Edwardian home on George Street, Bedford, is full of period charm and character, yet thoughtfully updated for modern living. As you approach the property, the classic façade immediately sets the tone: red brickwork, a striking arched entrance, and a large double-storey bay window give it an elegant and welcoming presence on this quiet residential street.

Stepping through the original front door, recently upgraded with high-quality antique bronze Banham locks, you enter a light and airy hallway.

To the right is the sitting room - a wonderfully bright and inviting space, thanks to the generous bay window that floods the room with natural light. Here, original details have been carefully preserved, from the decorative cast-iron fireplace with its colourful Art Nouveau tiled inserts to the high ceilings and picture rails. Wooden floorboards and a soothing colour scheme create a calm, stylish atmosphere, perfect for both cosy evenings and relaxed entertaining.

Moving towards the centre of the house, you find the dining room - a versatile reception space with plenty of room for a large table. Its position between the front sitting room and the rear kitchen makes it the ideal hub for entertaining and family meals. Adjacent to this is the breakfast room, which can be used informally for casual dining, as a playroom or even as a study, offering flexibility for modern lifestyles.

The kitchen, set within a rear extension and recently renovated, is a highlight of the property. Its chic, bespoke plywood cabinetry in warm pink tones pairs beautifully with the soft green walls and cork floor, creating a contemporary space that's perfect for those who love to cook with ample worksurface space and thoughtfully designed storage. New appliances feature throughout, including a professional-style six-burner Smeg range cooker and a new boiler (installed this year). Natural light streams in through two windows and a set of black-framed double glazed French doors that open directly onto the garden, allowing a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living.

Upstairs, three bedrooms offer comfort and character in equal measure.

The principal bedroom, at the front of the house, is a spacious retreat, with its own bay window that makes the room feel bright and airy. The second bedroom is another good-sized double, overlooking the rear garden, and the third bedroom (recently decorated with Sanderson wallpaper) is a charming single, perfect for a child's room, home office, or guest space.

The family bathroom is both practical and stylish, featuring a freestanding roll-top bath with an overhead shower, a traditional pedestal-style sink, and thoughtful touches like a vintage wall cabinet for storage. A large window brings in natural daylight, creating a serene, spa-like feel.

Outside, the west facing garden is beautifully landscaped to be both low-maintenance and full of life. Mature planting, espaliered trees, and textured borders create interest and privacy, while a gravel path leads to a sunny seating area that invites outdoor dining and relaxation. From this view, the rear of the house with its brick extension and striking metal-framed doors provides an attractive backdrop, especially at night when the garden lighting comes into its own.

This house combines the best of Bedford's Victorian heritage with tasteful, considered updates. Its generous living spaces, three bedrooms, and gorgeous garden make it an ideal home for families, professionals, or anyone seeking character, style, and comfort in a central location.
