Summary - 55, ORCHARD LANE, BEDFORD, HARROLD MK43 7BP
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Large plot, countryside outlook and renovation potential, offered chain-free.
Extended four-bedroom detached house with countryside views
Set on an impressive 0.32-acre plot in the sought-after village of Harrold, this extended four-bedroom detached house combines generous outdoor space with village convenience and countryside views. Ground-floor living includes a large lounge/diner with feature fireplace, a secondary sitting room overlooking the rear garden, kitchen with breakfast area, wet room, and a flexible bedroom/family room — useful for multigenerational living or home working. Upstairs are three further bedrooms and a family bathroom. The plot includes a detached double garage and an outbuilding, plus mature planting and fruit trees.
The property is liveable but visibly dated: interior fittings (carpets, paneling, joinery) and some external outbuildings require updating or replacement to maximise value. There is clear scope to extend further (STPP) on this large plot, offering strong potential for value uplift for buyers willing to modernise or reconfigure the layout. Heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators; windows are double glazed but install dates are not known.
Important practical points: the house is freehold and offered with no onward chain, making a quicker purchase possible. The plot backs onto open fields, providing privacy and rural outlook, yet village amenities — shop/post office, doctors, pubs and Harrold Odell Country Park — are nearby. Note the property sits in an area with medium flood risk and a council tax band above average; the outbuildings and some garden areas need maintenance.
This home will suit families seeking substantial outside space in a peaceful village setting, or buyers looking for renovation potential and extension opportunities. If you prioritise a move-in-ready finish, extensive updating will be required; if you value plot and position, the site offers significant upside.
