This extended five-bedroom detached house on Bedford Road is arranged over multiple floors to suit busy family life. The ground floor offers a large lounge, a superb kitchen/dining area with part-vaulted ceiling and bi-fold doors to the garden, plus a utility and a home office with its own entrance — useful for working from home or a dual household arrangement. The top-floor principal suite provides a private dressing area and en-suite, giving family members independent space.
Externally the plot is a strong practical asset: an established, private rear garden and off-road parking for up to six vehicles. The home was built in the early 1990s, benefits from double glazing and mains gas central heating, and sits in a very affluent, low-crime area with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — important for remote working and streaming.
Buyers should note the house has an EPC rating of D and cavity walls were built without insulation (assumed). These are material for running costs and present a clear opportunity to improve efficiency through wall insulation and other upgrades. Council tax sits in band E, which is above average — factor this into ongoing costs.
Overall this is a well-proportioned family home with versatile living and strong outdoor/parking provision. It will suit families seeking space and convenience close to good local schools, and buyers wanting a comfortable house with straightforward efficiency and cosmetic improvement potential.
