Description

A Victorian bay fronted six bedroom three storey semi detached property in a prominent position with views of Bedford's riverside Embankment on the Great Ouse. The property was constructed in the late 1800s and is situated in the conservation area. It has been sympathetically refurbished with careful attention given to blending its various period features, such as the original tiled hallway, moulded covings, and traditional fireplaces, with more modern attributes which include a contemporary kitchen/breakfast/dining room, modern sanitaryware and tiling in the bathrooms and zoned gas to radiator heating on all floors.

The six double bedrooms are on the first and second floors. The principal bedroom has an en suite shower room and an adjoining dressing room. There is a four piece family bathroom on the first floor and a shower room on the second floor which is en suite to one of the bedrooms.

There is also a cellar which is accessed externally via a spiral staircase at the side of the house and measures approximately 17 ft. x 13 ft.

Entrance Hall and Reception Rooms

The entrance hall has the original part glazed entrance door, part glazed double doors at the side opening onto the garden and a mosaic tiled floor. The sitting room has a recessed Real Flame fire with built-in cupboards and display shelves in the chimney recesses. Double doors lead to the dual aspect family room which has an original feature fireplace housing a log burning stove and part glazed double doors to the rear garden. The study has exposed oak flooring, a custom built shelved unit, and a bay window to the side.

Kitchen/Breakfast/Dining Room and Utility Room

The kitchen/breakfast/dining room is a major feature of the property and has dual aspect bi fold doors connecting the room to the garden. The kitchen is fitted in a contemporary style range of high gloss units with Corian work surfaces incorporating a sink and a breakfast bar, and space for a variety of appliances. The utility room is fitted in a range of high gloss units with complementary work surfaces and space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer.

Gardens

The front garden is bound by a dwarf wall and has a traditional tiled path to the front door and gravelled borders with raised planters. A gated side access leads to the walled rear garden which extends to approximately 146 ft. There is an L shaped decked area at the side and rear of the house. The remainder is lawned with established fruit trees. There is a summerhouse and a covered seating/barbeque area at the bottom of the garden.

Situation and Schooling

The property is situated on The Embankment, a conservation area with landscaped gardens overlooking the River Great Ouse. It is just a few minutes' walk from Russell Park and Bedford town centre. Bedford railway station, with services to London St. Pancras, is approximately 1 mile away and the independent Harpur Trust Schools are also in Bedford.
