"A traditional Victorian terraced home with original period detailing and an abundance of character in the heart of Bedford town centre"

The Property

A traditional Victorian entrance hall greets you with tiled flooring, soaring ceilings, original timber skirting, and decorative plasterwork, setting the tone for the character throughout the house. At the front of the property, the formal reception room is framed by a deep bay window with original sash windows, bathing the space in natural light. High ceilings with coving, stripped timber floors, and crisp wall finishes create a calm and elegant atmosphere, ideal for both relaxing and entertaining.

The second sitting/dining room at the heart of the home retains a striking cast iron fireplace with tiled surround, tall skirting boards, and period cornicing. Dual-aspect sash windows and glazed doors offer direct access to a walled courtyard, creating a superb indoor-outdoor connection. Adjoining this space is a more casual dining room, characterised by a second fireplace and bespoke built-in cabinetry. Its central location makes it an ideal point between the receptions and the kitchen.

The kitchen to the rear is fitted with a range of shaker-style units and granite-effect worktops. A distinctive tiled splashback in deep blues and greens adds colour, while timber floors and sash windows maintain period authenticity. The layout is practical and light-filled, with direct access to the side garden. Beyond the kitchen lies a well-fitted utility room, complete with additional cabinetry, an integrated sink, and a separate ground-floor WC. A useful storeroom adjacent to the utility offers space for pantry use or outdoor storage.

The first-floor landing connects four bedrooms and the family bathroom, all carefully arranged to provide flexibility for families or professionals. The principal bedroom occupies the full width of the front of the house, featuring a large bay window with park views, tall ceilings, original floorboards, and integrated wardrobes. It is a generously proportioned and tranquil space, full of light and character. The second double bedroom is equally well-proportioned, positioned to the rear with sash windows and a peaceful garden outlook. A further double bedroom—currently used as a home office—provides flexible use as a guest room, study, or library. Beside it is an additional study room, offering a quiet work-from-home or creative space.

The family bathroom features a traditional white suite, timber-panelled walls, and dual-aspect sash windows. With a full-size bath, pedestal basin, and natural light, this space balances functionality with a heritage feel.

Externally

The private rear courtyard garden is fully enclosed by redbrick walls and lined with mature climbing plants and foliage. With brick paving and multiple seating areas, it offers a low-maintenance yet charming outdoor retreat—perfect for al fresco dining or relaxing with a book.
A side return path connects the front and rear, with a gated entrance and space for bin storage and bikes, while the front garden is bordered with wrought iron railings and traditional tiled path.
