Town house for sale in Waterloo Road, Bedford MK40

Occasionally, a property comes to the market which excites even the seasoned professional; this delightful period villa is one such example. Quietly nestled into the heart of Bedford’s bustling ‘Castle Quarter’, this late Victorian three storey townhouse possesses individual characteristics untypical of many properties of the period. The focal point of the house is the imposing hallway and central turned staircase which provides galleried landings on the first and second floors. All of the principal, generously proportioned rooms are fed by the central reception and landing areas and feature high ceilings and original fireplaces. A particular feature of the house is the well equipped kitchen and family room to the rear; the areas fit seamlessly together – ideal for family gatherings. The current owners have sympathetically combined contemporary fittings whilst retaining their home’s period integrity. In all, the six bedrooms, three reception rooms, three bathrooms and a large, floored cellar will serve to accommodate most families’ requirements. Outside, the mature, walled garden complements the house and, surprisingly - for a central town location - provides much privacy. A range of independent coffee shops, delis and restaurants lie within a short stroll together with the picturesque Embankment and Russell Park.
