Description

This semi-detached family home has not been on the market since 1956, presenting a unique opportunity for renovation and investment in the desirable Kempston Rural area near Bedford. The property, located on a tranquil no-through road, features well-proportioned living spaces spread across two floors, comprising three bedrooms and separate reception areas. A driveway accommodates parking for two vehicles and includes a detached garage, while the expansive rear garden offers potential for landscaping or extension. Upon entry, you'll find a welcoming hallway that connects to all main living areas, featuring a cloakroom with basic amenities. The front-facing dining room could benefit from modernisation, while the rear lounge provides abundant light and direct access to a recently built conservatory—an excellent space for further enhancement. The compact kitchen is functional but likely requires updates to meet contemporary standards. Upstairs, the central landing leads to three bedrooms and a family bathroom, all of which present various possibilities for reconfiguration or refurbishment to maximize space and comfort. The property's location benefits from nearby amenities including public transport links to Bedford and Milton Keynes along with convenient access to major roadways such as the A421 and M1. Kempston Rural itself boasts local conveniences like shops and pubs, thus solidifying its appeal as an investment opportunity in this tranquil village setting.
