Description

This three-bedroom detached property, built around 1959, presents a significant opportunity for those looking to invest in a home with renovation potential. Set on a generous plot of nearly one acre, the property offers ample space for both formal and informal gardens, allowing for creative landscaping or expansion possibilities (subject to necessary planning permissions). The existing living space spans approximately 1,350 square feet, not including the detached garage. While the interior requires modernisation, it is structured to accommodate various enhancements. The ground floor features an entrance hall, a spacious living room, and a versatile study/snug that was previously an attached garage and has served as the local Post Office. A kitchen and separate dining room provide functional spaces, complemented by a large second living room formed from a single-storey extension. Additionally, there is a cloakroom and store for convenience. Upstairs, the first floor includes three bedrooms along with a family bathroom, ideal for family living or guest accommodation. The home benefits from gas central heating and double glazing throughout. Externally, the property stands out with its larger-than-average garden area at the rear. This space not only enhances privacy but also opens up numerous opportunities for future use—be it extending the existing dwelling or even developing new structures (again subject to planning approvals). Located north of Bedford, this property enjoys easy access to major roads such as the A6 and A421, providing straightforward routes to Bedford town center as well as connections to the A1 and M1 motorways. Residents can benefit from nearby state schools and village amenities while Bedford itself offers an extensive selection of educational options—both state-run and private—as well as diverse shopping and leisure facilities. The local mainline station ensures fast travel into London and beyond. In summary, this property is poised for transformation into a modern family home or investment opportunity in this appealing locale.
