5 bed detached house for sale

Bromham Road, Bedford MK40

Lane & Holmes are very pleased to bring to the market this elegant, double fronted Edwardian home, which is located on the Bedford/Biddenham border. The property offers considerable accommodation over two floors, which is flexible and character filled.

The property has an imposing feel from the outside, which continues through the accommodation, which includes fireplaces, tiled floors, tall ceilings, picture rails and exposed wooden finishes.

Entering the property via a well-proportioned Storm Porch, the spectacular Entrance Hall has a unique tiled floor, with the commanding staircase rising to the first floor.

There are four principal reception rooms, which could be used as various living spaces, with three of the four having bay windows of varying style. The Library overlooks the front and has a crown arch fireplace with ornate plasterwork to the ceiling; a feature which prevails in other areas of the house too. The currently designated Family Room is situated to the front of the house and to the rear, the Dining Room/Music Room has a particularly pleasant outlook over the rear garden. The fourth reception room is currently used as a study and includes a range of fitted storage cupboards. There is also a Conservatory joined to the back of the house, creating a further vantage point onto the raised (partially covered) Patio and over the rear garden.

The kitchen has pine fronted units and beyond this is a further area containing a range of stores, a wine cellar, a utility room, a walk-in pantry, a gardener’s cloakroom and an enclosed outside yard. There is also a range of garaging/storage space.

On the first floor, there are five bedrooms which are accessed via a spacious landing area. All five bedrooms have some form of fitted storage and two have washbasins. The bedrooms are served by a large family bathroom, with a WC, bidet, two basins, and shower over bath, and an additional shower room. There is also a substantial loft space, with an inbuilt pull-down ladder.

The property has double glazing, gas fired central heating and a ground floor cloakroom.

Overall, the plot extends to almost half an acre (sts). There is a very mature frontage with a range of mature trees (some with TPOs) along with shrubs and plants. There is a vast amount of parking on a large block paved drive. The south-west facing garden to the rear is a particular feature, with a partially covered raised patio area, large areas of lawn, a pond and a good range of hard landscaping. It is also not overlooked from the rear. The possibilities out here are endless, whether it be to grow your own vegetables, create play areas for the children, or to add further outbuildings if required.

The property is located on Bromham Road to the western side of Bedford, just prior to Biddenham Turn. It therefore provides excellent access to the A421 for those wishing to reach the A1, the M1 and Milton Keynes. There are several schooling choices nearby for all ages, including those of the popular Harpur Trust. The mainline railway station is within walking distance, for fast and frequent services to the capital and beyond. Bedford’s town centre facilities are readily available within walking distance of the property.
