Talbot Road, Bedford

This five bedroom, 1930s’ detached home has been considerably extended and improved by the current owners and now offers open plan living and accommodation over three floors.

The property is set at the end of Talbot Road, a no through road situated just east of the town centre and within walking distance of the Castle Road amenities, local schools, Russell Park and The Embankment.

Internally the sellers have combined modern finishes with some traditional features and there are numerous fireplaces and oak floors on the ground floor.

To the rear, the open plan kitchen/dining room is very appealing with the kitchen having a range of fitted units, integrated appliances and space for a range style cooker. There are quartz worktops and an island with seating space. This area is perfect for day to day living and dining, with underfloor heating and bi-fold doors overlooking the garden. To the front, there is a separate living room with a bay window and the former kitchen is now a utility room, accessed from either the hall or the kitchen area.

Moving to the first floor, there are two large double bedrooms and a smaller third, served by a family bathroom. Two further good size bedrooms have been created from the former loft space and this floor also provides a shower room.

Added benefits include double glazing, gas fired central heating and a ground floor cloakroom.

Outside, there is off road parking to the front and a detached garage. The rear garden has a block paved patio, is laid mainly to lawn and extends to around seventy five feet in depth. It also has a range of mature shrubs and trees.

Nearby, there are many cultural opportunities as well as excellent local shopping along Castle Road where bars and restaurants are also in abundance with a variety of independent establishments. Good local schools from the state and private sector are within easy reach, as are riverside walks along The Embankment. Bedford’s nearby town centre also offers many further services including the mainline railway station.
