Castle Road, Bedford, MK40

Improved and very well presented throughout, this is a fine example of a period townhouse occupying a central position within the Castle Road area. Offering spacious rooms throughout, the accommodation includes three large double bedrooms, a smaller fourth bedroom or study and a recently refitted bathroom which includes a separate shower cubicle. The sitting and dining room have been combined to provide one large family space with two fireplaces and the kitchen/dining room to the rear has modern units and some built-in appliances. A useful ground floor WC has been added as well as further handy storage by way of a lean-to in the side return. Heating is by gas to radiator, almost all of the windows are uPVC double glazed, some in the sash-style and further period features include stripped wood floors and doors and cast iron fireplaces. Outside, there is a newly-laid quarry tiled pathway to the front and a low-maintenance walled garden to the rear which affords some privacy from neighbouring properties.
The 'Castle Quarter' provides a wide choice of amenities, ideal for families with the outstanding-rated castle Newnham Primary School just around the corner. Both Russell Park and The Embankment are close by as are the wide range of independently owned shops, cafes and restaurants. Sports facilities such as football, tennis and rugby are all available in the area and, for the commuter, fast links into London St Pancras are available from Bedford's mainline rail station. EER: C
