A spacious four-bedroom Victorian terrace in Bedford’s sought-after Castle Quarter, arranged over three floors and extending to around 1,656 sq ft. Period detail such as high ceilings, bay windows and exposed floorboards combine with practical updates including a loft conversion principal suite, refitted bathrooms and shaker-style kitchen. The first-floor layout offers three double bedrooms plus a study, making the house flexible for family life or home working.
Practical strengths include gas central heating to radiators, UPVC double glazing, a well-proportioned 27 ft lounge/diner with log burner, and an integrated kitchen/breakfast room. The rear dormer creates a bright principal bedroom with Juliet balcony and en-suite, while the west-facing paved and gravelled garden is low maintenance and suited to busy families.
Notable considerations: the property is a solid-brick house built before 1900 and is assumed to have no wall insulation, so thermal upgrades (wall insulation, possible draught-proofing) could improve comfort and running costs. The garden and plot are small, and there is no specific mention of off-street parking. EPC C (72) and moderate council tax reflect reasonable efficiency but potential for improvement.
This home sits within easy reach of independent schools, local cafés, pubs and restaurants, and is under two miles from Bedford station with regular trains into London. It will suit families seeking roomy period character with modernised rooms, or buyers looking to add value through targeted energy improvements.
