About this home

A modern three bedroom detached property with driveway parking and a carport at the rear, on a corner plot at the end of a cul-de-sac on the development of Cygnet Mews. The property has been completely refurbished throughout by the current owner and would make a suitable first time purchase. The 998 sq. ft. of accommodation includes an entrance hall with a refitted cloakroom and stairs to the first floor. The dual aspect nearly 18ft. sitting room has an electric fire and an entertainment unit and the ground floor also has a triple aspect open plan kitchen/dining room with an adjoining utility room.

On the first floor there are three bedrooms, two with fitted wardrobes. The principal bedroom has a refitted en suite, and there is an updated family bathroom.

The block paved driveway is at the rear of the property and provides parking for up to two cars and access to the carport. A door leads to the rear garden which is enclosed by a combination of timber panelled fencing and walling and is principally lawned with a decked area. A brick built outbuilding has power and light, bi fold doors to the garden, and could be used as a home office.

Kitchen/Dining Room A particular feature of the property is the open plan kitchen/dining room which measures just under 18 ft. The kitchen has been refitted fitted with a range of high gloss units with Quartz work surfaces incorporating a breakfast bar, and complementary flooring. Integrated appliances include a double oven, an induction hob with extractor over, a full height fridge/freezer, and a dishwasher. There are French glazed double doors to the garden at the side. The adjoining utility room has matching units, access to the understairs cupboard, and an integrated washing machine/dryer. A door leads to the driveway and carport.

Situation and Schooling Kempston has amenities including a superstore, churches, and schooling for all ages, including an Ofsted good nursery school, 0.83 miles away. There is a gastropub in Wootton, 2 miles away. Bedford is about 3 miles away with a wider range of amenities and it is possible to reach Bedford’s town centre from Kempston by walking or cycling along the river without encountering any roads.

Purchaser Compliance & Administration Fee To comply with the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017, Michael Graham is legally mandated to conduct compulsory Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Customer Due Diligence (CDD) checks on all property buyers. While we do not charge a commission fee to the property vendor, a mandatory compliance and administration fee of £54.00 (inclusive of VAT) per person is payable by the purchaser(s). This non-refundable fee covers the cost of third-party electronic identity verification, source of funds auditing, and the associated regulatory administration. This fee becomes payable upon an offer being accepted in principle and must be fully cleared before a Memorandum of Sale can be issued or solicitors instructed. The payment of this fee does not guarantee the completion of the transaction, and Michael Graham reserves the right to request further verification documentation to satisfy its statutory obligations.
