Description

This distinctive home offers a unique opportunity to acquire a spacious residence set on a substantial plot of nearly 0.7 acres, conveniently located close to Bedford's various amenities and transport links. Just 1.5 miles from the town centre, the property spans over 2,000 sq ft of adaptable living space with several attractive features throughout. While the interior is comfortable, it presents an excellent opportunity for updating and potential redevelopment possibilities, contingent on planning permission. Upon entering, you are greeted by a welcoming porch that leads into a broad entrance hall at the heart of the home. A delightful bay-fronted study lends itself well as a workspace and continues into the formal dining room, which features sliding doors opening onto lovely garden views. The kitchen boasts modern integral appliances with granite work surfaces designed for both aesthetics and functionality, alongside ample space for casual dining. An expansive living room bathed in natural light includes impressive floor-to-ceiling bay windows that enhance the home's connection to its outdoor spaces. This versatile area suits relaxation or hosting gatherings and also includes a handy ground-floor shower room. The first floor consists of three well-sized bedrooms served by a central landing along with family bathroom facilities. The principal bedroom features dual-aspect windows along with fitted wardrobes, while other bedrooms include built-in storage and additional versatility to serve as a nursery or office. Externally, the property showcases a gated driveway offering plentiful off-road parking leading to a double garage. The generous wraparound garden is beautifully landscaped with established greenery providing year-round interest and privacy. Noteworthy is the outdoor swimming pool complemented by a dedicated pool house featuring an integrated hot tub, sauna, and kitchen—a perfect retreat for entertaining or leisure. Opportunities abound for further extension or enhancement of this home pending necessary approvals. While there are considerations regarding development restrictions within the grounds by current owners, negotiations remain possible. Goldington Green provides access to essential amenities including major supermarkets like Tesco and Waitrose as well as various recreational offerings. With ready access to Bedford’s town centre and mainline railway providing swift connections to London St Pancras and other destinations via key roads such as the A1 and M1, this location strikes an ideal balance for both convenience and lifestyle.
