Description
A 1930s four bedroom bay-fronted detached house, set back from the road within walking distance of Bedford Park and the town centre, and within 2 miles of the mainline railway station. The property has Mock Tudor and rendered elevations under a pitched tiled roof. It was historically extended within the last fifty years, which increased the property to 1,900 sq. ft. of accommodation. On the ground floor the entrance hall has a staircase to the first floor and an exposed oak parquet floor. The sitting and family rooms both have traditional features including exposed ceiling timbers, brick fireplaces and picture rails. The dining room has glazed doors to the rear garden. On the first floor there are four bedrooms, three with fitted wardrobes and wash basins. The shower room is fitted in a modern white suite.
The gardens at Westover are a major feature and are fully enclosed with mature trees and shrubs for screening and privacy. A gravel driveway provides parking for up to six cars, together with access to the detached double garage, which has an up and over door and power connections. To the rear of the garage is a store measuring 14 ft. 2. x 4 ft. 6.
Kitchen/Breakfast Room The kitchen/breakfast room is entered via an area with a range cooker set into a recess, a dresser, and a built-in storage cupboard. A wide aperture leads into the main part of the room which has a range of units and integrated appliances including an electric oven, a gas hob with extractor over, a larder fridge, and a dishwasher. The utility room has a matching range of units, a washing machine, and a door to the store and driveway.
Gardens Mature gardens surround the house, and are screened on all sides by hedgerow, mature trees and a high wall giving a high level of privacy. They are principally lawned and have deep shaped borders. In addition, there is a paved outdoor seating area at the side and rear of the house.
Situation and Schooling The property is in the historic centre of Bedford, between Bedford Park, Russell Park and the Embankment, close to the Castle Quarter with cafes, pubs, restaurants, supermarkets and shops. The station is about 2 miles away with services to St Pancras International. The property is in catchment for Castle Newnham School, (Ofsted outstanding), and within walking distance of the Harpur Trust Schools.
