Howbury Street, Castle Quarter, Bedford

Occupying an enviable end of terrace position within Bedford's highly sought-after Castle Quarter, this attractive three bedroom period home combines generous accommodation, an abundance of original character and a particularly impressive rear garden which is notably larger than typically found with homes in this part of the Castle Quarter.

The property offers approximately 1,059 sq. ft. of internal accommodation, together with a further 78 sq. ft. of useful outbuildings, and retains a wealth of period detail throughout. Particularly striking are the original fireplaces, including an ornate fireplace with decorative tiled inserts, giving the home a genuine sense of character and history.

The ground floor is dominated by an impressive sitting room measuring over 21ft in length. A traditional bay window to the front provides plenty of natural light, while the decorative period fireplace and substantial exposed brick chimney breast create attractive focal points within this exceptionally versatile living space.

Beyond is a separate dining room, offering ample space for family dining and entertaining, which leads through to the kitchen at the rear. The kitchen is fitted with a range of units and work surfaces and provides access towards the rear garden and adjoining outbuildings.

On the first floor are three bedrooms. The principal bedroom is positioned to the front and benefits from built-in storage, while the second and third bedrooms provide further well-proportioned accommodation. A number of the rooms retain attractive cast-iron fireplaces, further enhancing the property's period appeal.

The family bathroom is particularly spacious and unusually retains its own decorative cast-iron fireplace alongside the bath, wash basin and WC.

One of the property's standout features is undoubtedly the rear garden. Significantly larger than the gardens typically associated with properties in the immediate area, it provides an exceptional amount of outside space for a Castle Quarter home. Mature trees, established boundaries and the property's end of terrace position create a particularly appealing setting, with extensive space for landscaping, outdoor entertaining, children's play areas or simply enjoying a substantial private garden.

The garden is further complemented by a workshop and two separate stores, providing excellent additional storage and useful space for hobbies or other purposes.

Location Howbury Street occupies a superb position in the heart of Bedford's desirable Castle Quarter, renowned for its period architecture, independent cafés, restaurants and community atmosphere. Russell Park is situated at the end of the street, with Bedford's picturesque Embankment and River Great Ouse just beyond. Bedford town centre is also within easy reach, providing convenient access to a wider range of amenities and the mainline railway station.

Combining three bedrooms, impressive reception space, beautiful period features, useful outbuildings and a genuinely exceptional garden for the area, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful Castle Quarter home with both immediate appeal and exciting potential for the future.
