About
This superb three bedroom detached bungalow occupies a generous plot on the fringes of the ever-popular village of Wilstead, offering flexible accommodation and enjoying delightful views over open fields to the rear.
The property is approached via a shingled driveway providing parking for several vehicles, with a neatly tended lawn to one side adding a welcome splash of greenery.
Once inside, you are greeted by a porch that leads through to the entrance hall, with the kitchen positioned directly ahead.
This has been fitted with a comprehensive range of Shaker style floor and wall units complemented by work surfaces over, together with several integrated appliances that blend seamlessly into the design.
Beyond here, a separate utility room provides space for additional freestanding appliances and benefits from a door leading out to the garden.
At the front of the home lies the principal reception room — a spacious lounge/diner measuring 21’4" x 11’6" at its widest points.
A feature fireplace forms a central focal point, while to the far end, ample space is provided for a dining table and chairs, creating a sociable, family-friendly environment.
Sliding patio doors open into a further reception area, currently used as a sitting room, which in turn leads into a conservatory.
This lovely addition enjoys beautiful views across the garden and is flooded with natural light throughout the day.
An inner hall provides access to all three bedrooms — two positioned to the front elevation (measuring 11’6" x 9’10" and 9’2" x 8’2") and the third to the rear (9’10" x 7’3").
They are served by a modern wet room, incorporating a shower area, concealed cistern WC, and a wash hand basin set within a vanity unit.
Contemporary tiling to the splashback areas, twin obscure glazed windows, and a heated towel rail complete the look.
Externally, the rear garden is of a generous size and has been thoughtfully designed with a large paved patio ideal for outdoor entertaining.
The remainder is laid mainly to lawn with a mature tree to the far end, enclosed by timber fencing and benefitting from gated side access.
It is further enhanced by being offered for sale with the advantage of no onward chain.
Wilstead is a village and civil parish in Bedfordshire located just off the A6 and approximately five miles south of Bedford town centre with its high street, various shops, restaurants and direct rail links in to London St Pancras taking approximately thirty five minutes.
