Substantial six-bedroom family home with no upper chain in Putnoe, Bedford

This spacious six-bedroom family home offers generous living space, modern technology throughout and excellent scope for entertaining, set within one of Bedford’s most established residential locations. The house has served as a much-loved family home for over three decades and has comfortably accommodated multi-generational living, large gatherings and everyday family life. The sense of scale is immediately apparent, both inside and out, with spacious rooms and a layout that lends itself well to busy family life and hosting.

Ground Floor – Generous Living & Entertaining Space

The ground floor provides a series of well-proportioned reception rooms. A large sitting room offers a comfortable setting for everyday living, while the separate dining room is well suited to formal occasions and family celebrations. A playroom sits neatly alongside, ideal as a children’s space, snug or additional reception room, and a cloakroom is positioned conveniently off the central hallway.

To the rear, the kitchen/breakfast room is a standout space, fitted with granite worktops, integrated appliances, filtered water tap and water softener (located in the garage). The room works well as a sociable hub of the home, with space for informal dining and direct access to the garden. A practical connection to the double garage enhances everyday convenience, particularly for storage and household logistics. Surround sound and hardwired multi-room audio are installed across the ground floor, making the home particularly well suited to entertaining.

First Floor – Spacious Bedroom Accommodation

The first floor offers six bedrooms in total, all of which benefit from fitted wardrobes. The principal bedroom is generously proportioned and features a large en-suite shower room, along with the added reassurance of a panic button linked to the alarm system. Bedroom two also features its own en-suite bathroom finished in Porselanosa fittings, as well as ample storage. The remaining four bedrooms are well-balanced in size, providing flexible options for family, guests or home working. A family bathroom completes the upper floor, with additional storage available on the landing.

Outdoor Living

The west-facing rear garden enjoys a good degree of privacy and becomes a particular highlight during the summer months, when the slate patio acts as a sun trap well into the evening. The garden is quiet and peaceful despite the property’s excellent connectivity. To the front, a large driveway provides parking for several vehicles with ease, in addition to the double garage.
