About this home

Duck End Lane, Biddenham, Bedford, MK40

A Rarely Available Three Bedroom Detached Bungalow Offering Exceptional Potential in one of Bedford's Most Desirable Villages

Occupying a generous plot along the highly regarded Duck End Lane, in the heart of Biddenham village, this rarely available three bedroom detached bungalow offers an exciting opportunity for purchasers seeking a home with considerable potential in an established, sought after setting.

Offering approximately 900 sq. ft. of accommodation, excluding the garage, the property provides well proportioned living space arranged entirely on one level, complemented by a generous rear garden, ample driveway parking, and a detached single garage.

Whilst the property would benefit from further modernisation and personalisation, it offers an excellent blank canvas for purchasers wishing to create a home tailored to their individual requirements. With its substantial plot and established residential surroundings, there is also exciting potential to extend or reconfigure the existing accommodation, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions and consents.

The property is approached via a driveway providing off-road parking, with an attractive brick built frontage and a pathway leading to the main entrance.

Upon entering, a welcoming central hallway provides access to the principal accommodation, with the layout offering a practical separation between the living areas and bedrooms.

Positioned towards the front of the bungalow is the generous sitting room, measuring approximately 15' x 12'11". This well proportioned reception room benefits from a large window overlooking the frontage, allowing natural light to fill the space. With ample room for comfortable seating and additional furniture, it provides an inviting setting for everyday relaxation and entertaining.

The kitchen is situated towards the rear of the property and has been fitted with a contemporary range of light grey units, complemented by wood effect work surfaces, white metro-style tiled splashbacks and contrasting flooring. There is an integrated oven, gas hob with extractor above, and space for additional appliances. A large window overlooks the rear garden, whilst a separate external door provides convenient access outside.

The bungalow offers three bedrooms, providing flexibility for a variety of purchasers, whether requiring additional guest accommodation, a home office or simply the convenience of single storey living.

Bedroom one is a particularly generous double room, measuring approximately 13' x 10'11", with a pleasant outlook over the rear garden. Bedroom two is another comfortable double bedroom, measuring approximately 12'11" x 9'6", whilst bedroom three provides a versatile additional room which could equally serve as a study, dressing room, guest bedroom or an additional reception room.

Completing the internal accommodation is a spacious shower room, fitted with a large enclosed shower, wash hand basin and WC, with a window providing natural light and ventilation.

Outside One of the property's most appealing features is its generous plot, offering considerable scope for purchasers looking to enjoy outdoor space or explore the possibility of extending the existing accommodation.

To the front, the property benefits from an established frontage with mature hedging and a driveway providing off-road parking. The driveway continues towards the side of the bungalow, leading to a detached single garage, providing useful additional parking or storage.

The rear garden is a good size and offers a wonderful opportunity to create an attractive outdoor setting. Predominantly laid to lawn, with established hedging, mature planting and a selection of trees, the garden provides a pleasant degree of privacy and ample space for outdoor dining, entertaining and family enjoyment.

For purchasers with a vision to further enhance the property, the garden and overall plot provide exciting possibilities for future improvements, subject to the relevant consents.

The village itself retains a wonderful sense of community, with attractive period properties, picturesque lanes, open green spaces and a selection of local amenities.
