Description

Introducing a distinctive four-bedroom detached residence, set quietly behind one of Oakley's most desirable streets. This property, known as 'Sherwood', presents a compelling opportunity for those interested in renovation or investment, given its sizable plot and potential for extension and modernization (subject to planning permissions). The ground floor features a spacious lounge that promotes an airy ambiance, complemented by a bright conservatory that enhances the flow of natural light throughout the home. The adjoining kitchen and separate dining room offer excellent scope for reconfiguration, which could significantly enhance both the functionality and aesthetic appeal of the main living spaces. Additional conveniences on this level include a utility room and a ground floor WC, as well as a versatile home office/family room that caters to various lifestyle needs. Upstairs, the first floor comprises four generously-sized bedrooms, including a principal suite with en suite facilities and built-in wardrobes. The family bathroom is functional but would benefit from modernization, providing another opportunity for enhancement. Externally, off-road parking accommodates multiple vehicles in front of the double garage. The rear garden offers privacy and is primarily laid to lawn with a patio area—ideal for outdoor gatherings or further landscaping projects. Situated approximately four miles from Bedford’s town center and train station, this location ensures easy access to London St Pancras via regular mainline services. The property benefits from excellent road links provided by Bedford's Southern and Western bypasses, facilitating travel to major cities like Milton Keynes and Northampton. Local amenities further enhance this property's appeal, featuring an active sports and social club, a welcoming public house, a convenience store combined with a post office, as well as reputable hairdressing and beauty services. With no upper chain involved in the sale, prospective buyers can pursue this advantageous investment without delay.
