Description

This charming three-bedroom cottage, nestled in the desirable Castle Road area of Bedford, presents an excellent opportunity for renovation and investment. Positioned just under a mile from the town centre and a short walk to the picturesque Embankment, this period terraced property is ripe for modernization. The layout includes an entrance porch leading into a spacious open-plan sitting and dining area, complemented by a practical fitted kitchen and a ground-floor bathroom. Upstairs, the first floor boasts a generously sized master bedroom along with two additional well-proportioned bedrooms, making it ideal for families or as rental accommodation. The property benefits from double-glazed windows throughout and is equipped with gas central heating from a modern boiler, providing a solid foundation to build upon. A notable aspect to consider is the presence of some external wall cracks that may require attention during renovations. Externally, the rear courtyard-style garden offers side access and features mature planting alongside a wood-cabin style shed that will remain on-site, enhancing its appeal as outdoor space. This property has great potential for those looking to enhance its character while increasing its value in a sought-after location.
