Detached house for sale in Ellis Road, Bedford MK41

We are delighted to offer for sale this very well-located, good looking, family home built in 1938.

The property sits on a large plot extending to almost a quarter of an acre, subject to survey, and must be just about the closest thing there is to being in the countryside whilst still being so close for access to all that Bedford has to offer.

This lovely home has been in the same ownership since 1972 and much improved and extended in that time whilst still leaving scope for further additions and upgrades if required.

A spacious reception hall provides access to a large dining room at the front of the property which leads on to a store room and a work room. There is also access from the hall to a large living room at the rear, and access from the hall to the kitchen/breakfast room. Stairs rise from the hall to the first floor. There is a cloakroom off the rear hall.

The first floor boasts a superb master bedroom with a lovely spacious en suite. There is a further double bedroom, two single bedrooms, a bathroom and a separate WC.

There is gas fired central heating although it is recommended that the existing boiler is renewed. All the windows have been replaced in recent years with PVCu double glazed replacement units.

Externally this property does not disappoint. There is a lovely front garden and driveway which leads through gates to a garage and garden store room beyond.

The rear garden is well landscaped and divided in to various sections including a kitchen garden at the rear. This really is a garden where only a personal inspection will suffice.

Bedford’s sixty-two-acre Victorian park with its café, public tennis courts and leisure centre is within walking distance as is Mowsbury Golf & Squash Centre and Mowsbury Park and Putnoe Woods, ideal for leisurely walks and where another park café and further public tennis courts can be found.

Secondary shopping is available in nearby Chiltern Avenue and the popular Park Pub & Kitchen is also within walking distance.

The property is well located for access to Bedford’s town centre with its full range of shopping, recreational and highly regarded independent and state schools. Bedford’s station is also handy for fast and frequent services to the capital as is Bedford’s southern bypass that links the A1 with the M1.
