Saffron Road, Biggleswade, SG18

Property Insight:

This charming period cottage dates back to Victorian times and is located in the heart of Biggleswade’s town centre.  With wonderful character features, including sash windows, wooden floors and original fireplaces, the property offers plenty of space and is close to all of Biggleswade's amenities.

The front door of the property opens directly on to a bright and colourful sitting room.  Decorated in a rich and calming blue tone with original wooden flooring, the space creates a cosy and appealing first impression.  Your eye is immediately drawn to the large period fireplace, and it’s easy to imagine cosy winter’s evenings spent in front of the fire.  It’s a lovely setting, whether you’re relaxing after a busy day or spending time with family and friends, and there is ample space for a comfy sofa in addition to other furniture.  

The sitting room leads through to the dining room.  This is another bright room featuring original wooden floorboards and a feature fireplace.  Decorated in a warm, neutral colour palette, there is plenty of room for a dining table and chairs, and it’s an ideal space for both enjoying relaxed meals with the family or entertaining guests. 

Leading on from the dining room is a kitchen which is flooded with natural light, thanks to its multiple windows and skylights.  Featuring sage green shaker-style cabinetry, wooden worktops, cream subway tiles and a butler sink, it has a lovely country-kitchen aesthetic.  A wood-burning stove with a stone hearth is a standout feature of the room and, alongside the chequerboard floor tiles, is perfectly in keeping with the Victorian character features.  Integrated appliances include a dishwasher and fridge-freezer and there is space for a large range cooker.  With views over the garden, it’s a kitchen which suits the property perfectly.  Leading off from the kitchen is a utility room decorated in crisp white with cream subway tiles and space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, plus a cloakroom – both useful additions for any family.  A part-glazed stable door provides access to the garden.

Downstairs in the basement is a fantastic additional reception room.  Currently used as a family room and decorated in smart white with LED spotlights and terracotta floor tiles, it’s an unexpected and versatile space that could be used for any number of purposes – from a home office to a den.    

On the first floor are two well-proportioned and airy double bedrooms, one with a feature fireplace and both decorated in tranquil tones with wooden flooring and ample space for furniture.  The bright and spacious family bathroom is a traditional style to complement the history of the property.  Crisply decorated, with white heritage sanitaryware, the bathroom features a contemporary claw foot rolltop bath and has a separate modern shower.  The room is finished with striking chequerboard tiles and white subway wall tiles.

On the top floor is a third double bedroom with ensuite bathroom – another bright and airy space, featuring practical wooden flooring and built-in storage.  The ensuite bathroom is spacious with a modern white suite, including a full-size bath with shower over, blue mosaic wall tiles, heated chrome towel radiator and wooden flooring.

Outside is an established garden with mature trees and shrubs, plus two storage sheds.  There is a good-size lawn, which is perfect for children to play on, and a block-paved patio which provides plenty of space for relaxing and outdoor entertaining.  At the front of the property is a small and low-maintenance walled front garden.  There is no off-street parking, but residents’ permits are available for on-street parking - one is currently owned and another can be applied for. There is a shared driveway with neighbouring property.

With its spacious interior, beautiful character details and incredibly central location (never be late for the train again!), this property has been refurbished with great consideration and offers the opportunity to own not just a superb family home but a part of Biggleswade’s rich history.
