Colchester Way, Bedford, Bedfordshire, MK41

Listed 9 Jul 2026 · price reduced 26 Aug 2026 · Bedford
Occupying a generous plot of approximately one-third of an acre (STS), this beautifully presented detached chalet bungalow is located on Hookhams Lane in the highly desirable village of Renhold.
The current owners have thoughtfully modernised the property throughout and converted the loft space, creating a bright, airy, and versatile home finished with quality fixtures and fittings.
A highlight of the home is the stylish and well-equipped kitchen, which enjoys lovely views over the rear garden. Just off the kitchen is a spacious dining room, and a separate living room opens via bi-folding doors to a recently constructed garden room - also with bi-folds - offering a seamless transition to the outdoors and a perfect spot to enjoy the garden year-round.
The ground floor also features two bedrooms, one of which is currently used as a study, as well as a modern family bathroom. A generous hallway with staircase leads to the first floor, where you’ll find two additional bedrooms and a contemporary shower room.
The property benefits from gas-fired radiator central heating and full double glazing throughout.
Outside, the large frontage provides extensive shingled off-road parking for multiple vehicles along with an attached garage. The rear garden has been attractively landscaped and includes a spacious patio, a pergola, a raised fish pond, mature trees, established hedgerows, and several useful storage units - creating a private and tranquil outdoor space.
Renhold is a well-served village offering a popular Primary School, a village store, and a Public House. The location also provides excellent access to Bedford town centre and the A421 southern bypass, linking the A1 to the M1. Bedford offers a wide range of amenities and highly regarded schools in both the state and independent sectors. The mainline railway station, approximately four and a half miles away, offers regular services to London and other major destinations.
Potential purchasers should be aware that an outline planning application on the land to the rear of the property for up to 330 new homes, including a proposed access road via a neighbouring property, has been approved. Details of the proposal can be viewed online by visiting the Bedford Borough Council planning portal, using the reference 26/00724/MAO. Please contact us for further details and we can outline matters in more detail. The development also includes an additional access off Ravensden Road and we understand relevant screening will remain, in order to minimise the impact on the property.
