Rothsay Gardens | Bedford | MK40 | 1/4 acre plot

A superb location for a handsome eight bedroom detached property, on a generous quarter of an acre plot. The Victorian villa affords three reception rooms, conservatory and cellar.

The walled plot is a wonderful asset of the sale with 160' of mature rear garden and raised terrace. There is plenty of privacy to enjoy with a large expanse of lawn and a working garden to the back of the garden.

There is parking for four or five cars on the gravel driveway that leads to the front of the house. A grand entrance hall is beyond the front door, for meet and greet, with oak flooring. The staircase is out of sight around the corner with the cellar below one of the front reception rooms.

To the front front left a sitting room; excellent proportions with a large box bay window and wood burner stove with exposed floorboards and detailed cornicing.

The other side of the hallway a cosy snug with bay window and marble fireplace. Moving back in the house, the largest reception room, a dining room with Crown Arch fireplace that opens out to a conservatory with views over the terrace and garden.

The kitchen breakfast room has a traditional feel with original tiled floor, Aga and island with black granite worktops. There is a double butler sink, plenty of preparation and cooking space, with ample room for dining.

Behind the kitchen a lot of practical areas; utility, boiler and cloakroom with two opportunities to open up to the outside.

There are four bedrooms on each of the upper floors. The first floor at the front of the house, the main bedroom with ensuite, which overlooks the leafy oval green to the front with box bay window.

There are three further double bedrooms on this floor and a four piece bathroom.

Up the winder staircase, which has a lovely stained glass window for south facing light. The top floor affords four more bedrooms, three are double bedrooms and a shower room. There is an airing cupboard with pressurised hot water cylinder.

Outside the rear garden is a real treat. The raised terrace spans the width of the house with steps down to the lawn. There is access either side of the house.
