Castle Road, Bedford

This beautifully presented period townhouse occupies a prime central position within the highly sought after Castle Road area, forming part of Bedford's ever popular "Castle Quarter." Sympathetically improved by the current owners, the property effortlessly combines character features with modern comforts, resulting in a spacious and highly versatile family home arranged over two floors.

The ground floor offers an impressive sense of space, with the original sitting and dining rooms thoughtfully opened up to create a substantial dual-aspect living area. This elegant room is rich in period charm, featuring two cast iron fireplaces, stripped wooden flooring, and a striking bay window that enhances both light and character. To the rear, the generously proportioned kitchen/dining room has been fitted with a range of contemporary units and includes a selection of integrated appliances, providing a practical yet stylish space ideal for both everyday family life and entertaining. A particularly useful addition is the ground floor WC, along with a lean-to utility/storage area in the side return, offering valuable extra functionality.

Upstairs, the first floor provides well-balanced accommodation comprising three spacious double bedrooms and a fourth smaller bedroom, perfectly suited as a home office, nursery, or dressing room. The refitted bathroom is finished to a high standard and benefits from both a modern suite and a separate shower cubicle.

Throughout the property, many original features have been retained and enhanced, including stripped wood floors and doors, alongside sash-style uPVC double-glazed windows (installed in the majority of rooms) and gas-fired central heating via radiators, ensuring comfort and efficiency.

Externally, the property continues to impress. To the front, a laid quarry-tiled pathway provides an attractive approach, while the rear garden has been designed with low maintenance in mind. Enclosed by walls for a good degree of privacy, it offers a pleasant and manageable outdoor space for relaxation or entertaining.
