We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Substantial six-bedroom family home with no upper chain in Putnoe, Bedford This spacious six-bedroom family home offers generous living space, modern technology throughout and excellent scope for entertaining, set within one of Bedford’s most established residential locations.
The house has served as a much-loved family home for over three decades and has comfortably accommodated multi-generational living, large gatherings and everyday family life.
The sense of scale is immediately apparent, both inside and out, with spacious rooms and a layout that lends itself well to busy family life and hosting.
Ground Floor – Generous Living & Entertaining Space The ground floor provides a series of well-proportioned reception rooms.
A large sitting room offers a comfortable setting for everyday living, while the separate dining room is well suited to formal occasions and family celebrations.
A playroom sits neatly alongside, ideal as a children’s space, snug or additional reception room, and a cloakroom is positioned conveniently off the central hallway.
To the rear, the kitchen/breakfast room is a standout space, fitted with granite worktops, integrated appliances, filtered water tap and water softener (located in the garage).
The room works well as a sociable hub of the home, with space for informal dining and direct access to the garden.
A practical connection to the double garage enhances everyday convenience, particularly for storage and household logistics.
Surround sound and hardwired multi-room audio are installed across the ground floor, making the home particularly well suited to entertaining.
First Floor – Spacious Bedroom Accommodation The first floor offers six bedrooms in total, all of which benefit from fitted wardrobes.
The principal bedroom is generously proportioned and features a large en-suite shower room, along with the added reassurance of a panic button linked to the alarm system.
Bedroom two also features its own en-suite bathroom finished in Porselanosa fittings, as well as ample storage.
The remaining four bedrooms are well-balanced in size, providing flexible options for family, guests or home working.
A family bathroom completes the upper floor, with additional storage available on the landing.
Outdoor Living The west-facing rear garden enjoys a good degree of privacy and becomes a particular highlight during the summer months, when the slate patio acts as a sun trap well into the evening.
The garden is quiet and peaceful despite the property’s excellent connectivity. To the front, a large driveway provides parking for several vehicles with ease, in addition to the double garage.
