This substantial three-storey Victorian mid-terrace offers spacious living across approximately 3,564 sq ft, arranged as six bedrooms and plentiful reception space. The house has been sympathetically updated, with double-glazed sash windows and a large, open-plan kitchen with granite worktops. High ceilings, original fireplaces and a feature staircase retain character while modern heating (mains gas boiler and radiators) and fast broadband make it suitable for contemporary family life and London commuting.
Practical benefits include a rare 2–3 car driveway to the front, a decent rear garden, a cellar and a utility room with ground-floor cloakroom. The property is freehold and located about a 12-minute walk from Bedford station, offering direct links to London St Pancras in under an hour — a real advantage for regular commuters.
Be clear about a few material considerations: the house is in a neighbourhood with higher crime rates and local deprivation indicators, and the wider area is lively with many students and migrant families. The solid brick walls are original and assumed to lack insulation, so there may be ongoing heating costs or scope for insulation improvements (subject to planning and conservation constraints). Council tax banding is not provided.
Overall this is a large period home that combines generous internal proportions and commuter convenience with character features. It will suit buyers seeking space and proximity to good private schooling and rail links, and those prepared to manage the practicalities of an older brick-built terrace in an urban, mixed-use neighbourhood.
