This three-storey Victorian semi-detached house offers generous living across approximately 1,949 sq ft with six bedrooms and separate reception rooms. Positioned close to Bedford town centre and the mainline station, it suits a large family needing space or an investor seeking rental potential. The property is freehold and benefits from mains gas heating, double glazing (install date unknown) and prominent period features such as bay windows and high ceilings.
The layout includes two reception rooms, kitchen/breakfast room, shower room, bathroom, separate WC and a self-contained upper-floor room with kitchen potential—useful for multi-generational living or as a rental unit. Outside are small front and rear gardens; the plot is compact but practical for low-maintenance outdoor space.
Important practical points: the house shows signs of ageing and will need modernisation throughout; fireplaces, original cornicing and solid brick walls are present but insulation is likely absent. The local area is classified as very deprived with very high recorded crime — buyers should consider security and community services when viewing. Council tax band and some service details are unknown and should be checked.
Nearby amenities include outstanding-rated primary and secondary options and a range of shops, healthcare and transport links, which strengthen everyday convenience. For buyers wanting period character with scope to update and add value, this property offers clear potential; for those prioritising low-crime, higher-amenity suburbs, the local area profile may be a limiting factor.
