Set in a quiet Kempston Rural location, this four-bedroom detached house offers flexible family living across two floors with generous outdoor space. The principal floor features a bright kitchen/breakfast room, separate utility, dining room and two further reception rooms, including an airy living room with patio doors to the rear garden. Upstairs the principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite and three further bedrooms are served by a family bathroom.
The large plot and long 51 ft garage (planning permission obtained for a one-bed annex) are key value drivers — ideal for families needing space, those wanting workspace or buyers considering a garage conversion or ancillary accommodation (subject to building regulations). The substantial gravel forecourt provides ample off-street parking for several vehicles.
The house retains period character and comfortable living, but it will appeal most to buyers prepared to modernise parts of the property to their taste. Council tax is described as expensive and the layout and finishes reflect the era of construction, so prospective buyers should allow budget for updating where required. Viewings are recommended to appreciate the garden, parking and conversion potential in person.
This property suits families wanting room to grow in an affluent, low-crime semi-rural setting with good local schools and fast broadband. The planning-positive garage and large plot offer scope to increase living space and future value, while straightforward maintenance needs and any necessary modernisation are practical considerations rather than hidden defects.
