Kimbolton Road, Bedford, Bedfordshire, MK41

This 1920s five-bedroom detached home is set back from the road, offering driveway parking and a double garage, all within an elevated, landscaped plot of approximately 0.6 acres.
Over the past decade, the property has undergone significant expansion, now providing 2,595 sq. ft. of living space. The entrance hall retains its original door, moulded ceiling covings, solid wood internal doors, and an exposed oak floor that extends throughout much of the ground floor. The dual-aspect sitting and music rooms are located at the front of the house, with the sitting room featuring a bay window. The music room includes a fireplace with a wood-burning stove set on a raised hearth. Glazed double doors lead to the dining room, which also has access to the rear garden via similar doors. The modern kitchen is fitted with a range of gloss cabinets and Corian worktops, including an island with a breakfast bar. Integrated appliances feature two electric ovens, a gas hob with an extractor, a dishwasher, and space for an American-style fridge and wine chiller. There is also a walk-in pantry. The breakfast/family area offers a door to the side and two sets of glazed double doors opening onto the paved terrace.
The first-floor landing spans two levels and includes a sun tunnel, with glazed double doors leading to a Juliet balcony. There are five bedrooms, two with en suite shower rooms, and three with fitted wardrobes. The principal bedroom also benefits from a Juliet balcony. The family bathroom includes both a double-ended bath and a separate shower.
The beautifully maintained gardens are a key feature of the property. The front garden, enclosed by a mix of mature hedging and timber fencing, is primarily lawned with established borders at the front and sides. A pillared entrance opens onto a gravel driveway leading to the double garage, which features power connection, eaves storage, and a side personnel door. Gated access leads to the enclosed rear garden, which boasts an L-shaped outdoor entertaining space with a timber-framed kitchen and a brick barbecue. The garden is mainly laid to lawn, with perimeter borders and mature trees. Additional features include a brick former air raid shelter, a water feature, and a detached brick-built barn with power connection.

The property is ideally located in the historic centre of Bedford, situated between Bedford Park, Russell Park, and the Embankment, and close to the Castle Quarter, which offers a range of cafes, pubs, restaurants, supermarkets, and shops. Bedford's train station is approximately 1 mile away, with services to St Pancras International. The property lies within the catchment area for Castle Newnham School (Ofsted outstanding) and is within walking distance of the Harpur Trust Schools.
