Description

This detached family home presents a rare opportunity for those looking to invest in or renovate a property in the desirable village of Biddenham, where it has been held by the same family for 57 years. Nestled on a private road, this residence offers substantial living space across two levels, including five bedrooms and separate reception areas. The layout begins with a welcoming entrance hall that features built-in storage, leading to practical amenities such as a utility room and cloakroom. The ground floor encompasses a well-sized kitchen and dining area, alongside an expansive living room that provides direct access to the garden. One of the key features on this level is a bedroom complete with an en-suite shower room, offering versatile accommodation options. Ascending to the first floor, you will find four generously proportioned bedrooms accompanied by a family bathroom. While the home is in need of modernisation, it retains a distinctive charm and presents an excellent canvas for creating a bespoke family residence tailored to your tastes. The exterior is equally appealing, featuring ample parking with a long driveway and a sizeable 31ft garage. The rear garden is predominantly lawned with paved areas, providing ample potential for outdoor gatherings or personal landscaping projects. Located just two miles from Bedford's mainline railway station, residents benefit from easy commuting options to London and beyond. Biddenham itself combines serene village life with convenient access to urban amenities, including shops and recreational facilities in Bedford town centre. The area is well-serviced by three schools—Biddenham International School and Sports College, St James' VA Primary School, and St James' & St Gregory's Catholic Primary School—making it attractive for families. In addition to its educational offerings, Biddenham provides social activities through facilities like Biddenham Pavilion, which includes sports opportunities such as tennis courts. With its strategic location near major road links like the A421 connecting the M1 and A1, this property not only promises comfortable living but also significant investment potential in an area experiencing continued growth and development. Please note that any interested parties should conduct their own investigations regarding the working order of fixtures and fittings as well as confirming relevant property management details before proceeding with any commitment.
