Offering approximately 2,150 sq. ft. of accommodation, this impressive home combines generous living space, stylish interiors and a wonderful private rear garden, all within a short stroll of the River Great Ouse and Bedford's picturesque Embankment.
Thoughtfully extended and arranged across three floors, the property has been designed with modern family living in mind, offering an exceptional balance of open plan entertaining space, versatile reception rooms and five well proportioned bedrooms.
The heart of this home is undoubtedly the impressive open plan kitchen and family room, measuring over 25ft in length. This fantastic space provides the perfect setting for everyday family life and entertaining, featuring a contemporary fitted kitchen with attractive cabinetry, extensive worktop space and a substantial central island with breakfast bar seating. The kitchen flows seamlessly into a generous family seating area, creating a sociable environment where everyone can come together.
Large sliding bi-fold doors overlook the rear garden and open directly onto the patio, allowing natural light to flood the room and creating a wonderful connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces.
Leading from the kitchen is a delightful garden room, currently arranged as a dining area. Surrounded by windows and enjoying lovely views across the garden, this additional reception space is ideal for family meals, entertaining guests or simply relaxing while enjoying the greenery outside.
For those seeking a more traditional reception room, the property also benefits from a separate living room positioned towards the front of the house, providing a comfortable retreat away from the main family living areas.
The ground floor accommodation is further complemented by a dedicated study, ideal for those working from home, a separate utility room and a convenient downstairs cloakroom. The versatility of these additional rooms makes this a particularly attractive proposition for growing families.
Moving to the first floor, the accommodation continues to impress with three generously proportioned bedrooms, including a particularly spacious master suite measuring approximately 17ft 6in in length. A family bathroom and en-suite serve this floor, providing excellent practicality for busy family life.
The second floor offers two further double bedrooms, both benefiting from fitted storage, alongside an additional shower room. This arrangement provides fantastic flexibility for larger families, older children or visiting guests, with the upper floor offering a degree of privacy from the main living accommodation.
Outside, the property enjoys a beautifully established and private rear garden, offering a wonderful setting for outdoor entertaining and family enjoyment. A generous paved patio provides ample space for alfresco dining and summer gatherings, while the lawned garden is framed by mature trees and established planting, creating a peaceful and secluded environment.
To the front, an extensive block paved driveway provides generous off road parking, with the additional benefit of useful external storage.
