Castle Road, Bedford

With over 2,000 sq ft of space, a good-sized yet low-maintenance garden, and located in the sought-after Castle Quarter, this home offers everything you want, plus lots of features you’ll love.

Accommodation - Built in 1880, 46 Castle Road showcases the best of the Victorian period. Beyond the stunning stained-glass front door are features such as fireplaces, bay windows, high ceilings, ornate cornicing and mosaic-tiled flooring. The home has been recently refurbished, including new windows and doors, upgraded plumbing and electrics, an updated kitchen and a new bathroom and en suite.

The kitchen/dining room is a social space, great for daily meals and dinner parties alike, with bi-folds onto the garden for going al fresco. The kitchen has cream cabinetry, quartz worktops, a double ceramic sink, a double oven, an induction hob and a dishwasher. There’s also an adjoining utility.

There are two reception rooms: one a spacious yet cosy lounge, the other used as a playroom. The playroom is flexible as an office for homeworkers, a gaming room for older children, or simply a secondary lounge.

Upstairs are five bedrooms. The principal and top-floor bedrooms both have an en suite - providing parents/guests their privacy. Those remaining share the family bathroom, fitted with a four-piece Heritage suite.

There’s a high level of storage throughout the home, and the hall is plenty wide enough to hang coats and store shoes without blocking entry.

Outside - The garden at 46 Castle Road is a good size, with ample room to host friends as well as play football. It’s low maintenance and low effort, with artificial grass that won’t need mowing. You can access the garden from the road via The Baulk.

Parking is available on the road (permits for up to three cars from Bedford Borough Council).

Area - The Castle Quarter is sought-after for its attractive Victorian residences and quiet, leafy streets, as well as its close proximity to much of what Bedford offers. Bedford presents a huge variety of things to do, places to eat and drink and gems to discover, alongside wonderful green spaces, excellent sports facilities and well-regarded schooling (including the independent Harpur Trust). The station is only a 20-minute walk/7-minute cycle from 46 Castle Road, with services into London St Pancras in as little as 40 minutes.
