About
Description Occupying a prominent position on the highly regarded Kingsley Road, this handsome Edwardian detached house is an impressive family home offering over 2,050 sq. Ft.
Of beautifully proportioned and versatile accommodation arranged across three floors.
Rich in period character and complemented by a substantial rear extension, the property provides five/six bedrooms, generous reception space, a detached garage, summer house, and a mature private garden, all within walking distance of Russell Park, the Castle Quarter, Bedford's picturesque Embankment and the town centre.
The property makes an immediate impression with its attractive period façade, covered entrance porch and established frontage.
Inside, a welcoming entrance hall retains much of the home's original character, with decorative tiled flooring, high ceilings and a traditional staircase rising through the property.
To the front is an elegant bay fronted sitting room, a particularly impressive reception space with excellent proportions, decorative cornicing, ceiling rose and a feature fireplace forming a natural focal point.
The generous bay window allows plenty of natural light into the room while adding to the home's Edwardian charm.
There is a separate family room, providing a more informal everyday living space, while the dining room offers ample room for a large dining table and is enhanced by exposed timber floorboards and fitted bookshelves.
Together, these three rooms provide a flexible arrangement equally suited to family life, entertaining and working from home.
Undoubtedly one of the highlights of the property is the substantial kitchen/breakfast room to the rear.
Thoughtfully extended to create an impressive open plan space, the kitchen features an extensive range of timber cabinetry, generous work surfaces and a large central island with breakfast bar seating.
Exposed roof timbers, multiple rooflights and a striking glazed lantern flood the room with natural light and give the space considerable architectural character.
Tri-fold doors provide a direct connection to the shaded patio and garden, while open access to the dining room creates an excellent flow for entertaining.
A ground floor cloakroom completes the accommodation on this level. The first floor provides two/ three bedrooms.
The principal bedroom is a particularly generous bay fronted room featuring an extensive range of fitted wardrobes and storage together with its own en-suite shower room.
A further well-proportioned bedroom and a smaller child's bedroom/ dressing room/ study are served by the family bathroom.
A further staircase rises to the second floor, where three additional bedrooms provide excellent flexibility for a larger family, teenagers, guests or those requiring dedicated home-office space.
These rooms are complemented by a separate shower room, making the upper floor particularly practical as additional family or guest accommodation. Outside, the property continues to impress.
The mature rear garden has an established and wonderfully private feel, with a combination of lawn, paved seating areas and an abundance of trees, shrubs and climbing plants.
A substantial covered pergola creates an attractive sheltered entertaining area, while a detached summer house measuring approximately 17'1" x 9'3" offers further versatile space for use as a home office, studio, gym or garden retreat.
To the front and side, there is access to the detached single garage, which incorporates a useful workshop space. An additional covered winter garden further enhances the property's practicality.
