4 Bedroom Detached House For Sale In Bedford

The house provides over 2,360 sq. ft. of well-proportioned accommodation across two floors, complemented by an additional 2,377 sq. ft. of versatile outbuilding space — a purpose built workshop of approximately 1,640 sq. ft. and a 737 sq. ft. triple garage with first floor studio. Whether you’re a growing family in need of space to spread out, or looking for a project, hobby space, or potential home office setup, this property offers genuine flexibility to suit your lifestyle.

The Accommodation

A welcoming entrance hall, currently arranged as a stylish bar area, sets the tone on arrival. The L-shaped sitting/family/dining room offers a generous and adaptable space for everyday family life and entertaining alike, whilst the open plan kitchen/breakfast room is a true highlight of the home.

Fitted with a range of oak Shaker style units and complementary work surfaces, the kitchen incorporates an inset sink and a central island with breakfast bar — ideal for busy mornings or relaxed weekend brunches. A tiled recess houses an electric four oven Aga, with a separate gas range cooker and extractor providing further cooking flexibility. The exposed tiled flooring flows through to the adjoining utility room, which is fitted with matching units, plumbing for a dishwasher and washing machine, a shelved pantry cupboard, and a door out to the rear garden.

Completing the ground floor is a wet room and a versatile bedroom at the front of the property, which would suit equally well as a ground floor study, playroom, or guest accommodation.

Upstairs, three further double bedrooms await, including a principal bedroom benefitting from a four piece en suite bathroom. The remaining two bedrooms share access to a well-appointed three piece family bathroom.

Outside

The property is approached through two remotely operated solid oak gates, opening onto an extensive gravel driveway with parking for multiple vehicles — practical for family life and visiting guests alike.

The detached purpose built workshop is a standout feature, of steel framed construction with featherboard elevations and an aluminium steel lining. Accessed via a remotely operated roller door, it currently provides a custom space for restoring classic and historic vehicles, complete with its own independent power supply. Solar photovoltaic panels on the roof supply the bulk of the property’s electricity, offering excellent energy efficiency. A general storage barn with independent access sits to one side.

The detached triple garage is of brick and oak framed construction beneath a pitched tiled roof, with three sets of timber double doors and its own power supply — alongside the first floor home office/studio, this provides a wealth of options for hobbies, storage, or working from home.

The rear garden is principally lawned, softened by a variety of shrubs and bushes, and features an extensive block paved seating area and an ornamental pond — a lovely spot for outdoor dining and relaxing on warmer days.
