About this home

This is an excellent opportunity to acquire a newly refurbished and beautifully presented four-bedroom detached home in the sought-after ‘Poets’ area of Bedford. Occupying an enviable corner plot on Keats Close, the property boasts an attractive, mature frontage and has been thoughtfully updated throughout.

Upon entering, a spacious entrance hall leads to the ground-floor accommodation, including a well-proportioned living room that benefits from large windows, allowing an abundance of natural light to fill the space. A stylish, newly fitted shower room is also located on the ground floor.

The heart of the home is the well-designed kitchen/dining/family room, which has been cleverly extended to create a bright and open feel. The brand-new kitchen features a range-style cooker, tiled splashback and a practical breakfast bar, while a feature log burner adds warmth and character to the family area. Within the extension, a vaulted ceiling with Velux roof windows allows natural light to flood in, while French doors provide direct access to the rear garden.

Upstairs, a generous central landing leads to four bedrooms and a contemporary family bathroom. High ceilings and large windows create a light and spacious feel throughout the first floor. There are three well-sized double bedrooms, including the principal bedroom, which features a charming fireplace, alongside a further generous single bedroom. The newly refurbished family bathroom features a freestanding bath and a separate shower, with fashionable floor-to-ceiling tiling.

Outside, the rear garden has been thoughtfully designed and features a well-kept lawn as well as paved seating areas, providing an ideal setting for al fresco dining. To the front, a gravel driveway provides useful off-road parking. Further benefits include gas central heating and double-glazed windows throughout.

Keats Close is situated within an established residential area of Bedford, with convenient access to everyday amenities, including local shops, supermarkets and schools. Bedford town centre provides a range of shopping, dining and leisure facilities, including high-street retailers, independent shops, cafés and restaurants. Bedford railway station offers rail links to London and other major destinations, while road connections via the A6 and A421 provide convenient access to neighbouring towns and the wider regional road network.
