Bower Street, Bedford, MK40

This unique period home lies within the heart of the bustling Castle Road area. Steeped in family history the property last changed hands on the open market in 1926 and has since been in the ownership of the Cave family. The delightful bay fronted house was constructed in 1882 and provides four bedrooms, separate sitting and dining rooms and a full width height cellar. It occupies a substantial, well screened garden plot which offers significant development potential; the neighbouring property is numbered 139 indicating that two further plots were originally destined for the site. Subject to the necessary consents there is the potential to substantially enlarge the existing footprint of the house and/or develop the site with a separate dwelling or two. There are attached outbuildings (including a former dairy) and a detached double width garage. There will be no onward chain. The property is offered for sale by Informal Tender where sealed bids are invited by Friday 14th February 2025.
The overall plot features a frontage of approximately 17.5m (58ft) and a depth of approximately 27.5m (90ft). There are timber gates opening from a crossover from the road to off road parking behind. We understand that a garden well exists which is currently covered over. Attached outbuildings include the former dairy and workshop. There is also a detached DOUBLE WIDTH GARAGE with twin metal up and over doors, power and light.
