Description

A beautifully extended period home in one of Bedford's most desirable central locations on Howbury Street within the Castle Quarters of Bedford.

Occupying a sought-after position within the ever-popular Castle Quarter, this exceptionally well-presented period end of terrace home offers a superb blend of character, style and modern family living, with over 1,370 sq ft of beautifully arranged accommodation across three floors.

The property has been thoughtfully improved and significantly enhanced, including a side and rear ground floor extension and an impressive loft conversion, creating versatile living space perfectly suited to modern lifestyles.

The bay-fronted living/dining room is a wonderful reception space, full of charm and character, featuring bespoke shelving, exposed brick fireplace detailing, quality flooring and excellent natural light from the sash-style bay window.

To the rear, the standout kitchen/breakfast/family room is undoubtedly the heart of the home. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, it features a stylish range of contemporary units, generous work surfaces, integrated appliances including a range cooker, dishwasher and fridge/freezer, plus a central breakfast island. Velux rooflights and wide-opening bi-fold doors flood the room with natural light and create a seamless connection to the garden.

The accommodation across the upper floors is equally impressive, offering three excellent double bedrooms, including a superb principal bedroom occupying the top floor, alongside a fourth bedroom/nursery/study ideal for home working or young children.

The property benefits from both a modern family bathroom and a downstairs separate shower room, each fitted with attractive contemporary white suites and finished to a high standard.

Externally, the private west-facing walled rear garden is a particular feature for the area, offering a wonderfully sunny and secluded space for outdoor dining and entertaining. The attractive period façade, enclosed front garden and side access further enhance the home's appeal.

Location
The property is superbly positioned within Bedford's prestigious Castle Quarter, just moments from the picturesque Embankment, where residents can enjoy riverside walks, open green spaces, and a relaxed café culture. Bedford town centre is within comfortable walking distance, offering a wide range of shops, restaurants, leisure facilities, and well-regarded local schools. Bedford mainline train station is also easily accessible, providing fast and frequent services to London in under 50 minutes-ideal for commuters. Excellent road links via the A6, A421, and A1 further enhance the property's connectivity to surrounding towns and major routes.
