Summary - Polhill Avenue, Bedford, MK41 MK41 9DU
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Large 1960s detached house with huge rear garden and extension potential.
Four double bedrooms providing flexible family accommodation
Set on a large plot in a well-regarded Bedford neighbourhood, this 1960s four-bedroom detached house offers a spacious family layout and clear scope to add value. The house extends to around 1,630 sq ft and includes a generous living room, separate reception/dining room, modern-style kitchen/breakfast room, study, utility, cloakroom and two first-floor bathrooms. Practical features include double glazing (installed post-2002), mains gas boiler with underfloor heating, a single garage and driveway parking for two cars.
The rear garden is a standout asset at approximately 70ft x 50ft, private and level — ideal for children, entertaining or landscaping improvements. The property sits in a very affluent, low-crime area with fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and several well-rated primary and secondary schools within easy reach, making it a strong choice for families.
The house is presented as a solid, established home that requires some modernisation and could benefit from cosmetic updating throughout. There is excellent potential to extend or reconfigure subject to planning permission, in line with neighbouring properties. Buyers should note that some services, fixtures and fittings have not been independently tested and measurements are approximate — a survey is recommended to confirm condition and scope for structural change.
Overall, this detached family home combines generous internal space, a rare-size plot and good local amenities, offering a practical move-in option now with clear longer-term potential to personalise and increase value.
