3 bed detached house for sale

Watercress Rise, Biddenham, Bedford MK40

In a quiet spot within walking distance of green space and village life, this home gives you the balance most people look for – comfortable living areas, practical touches and a layout that works just as well for couples, families or anyone wanting a simpler pace.

The living room sits at the front of the home, with a bay window creating a natural spot for a sofa or reading chair. It’s big enough for family film nights, gatherings with friends or simply stretching out and unwinding after work. The layout feels open but still defined – spaces flow together without losing their sense of purpose.

Cooking here is straight forward - the kitchen has everything where you’d want it – plenty of worktop space, integrated appliances and easy access to the dining area.

There’s room for a proper table without it feeling tight, and those French doors lead straight out to the garden for summer meals or morning coffee.

Hard flooring throughout the ground floor makes life simple when kids or pets come charging in, and the downstairs WC adds the sort of practicality every family quietly values.

When it's time to settle in for the night the main bedroom has built-in storage to keep things tidy, and an en-suite that makes mornings run smoothly – no waiting for the shower or queueing when everyone’s getting ready at once.

The second bedroom comfortably takes a double bed and wardrobe, while the third works well as a nursery, guest room or home office, depending on what stage of life you’re in.

You'll love the family bathroom which has a full-sized bath for those end-of-day soaks but also suits quick, out-the-door mornings when time’s short.

Own a car or two? Parking’s easy here. The driveway sits right beside the house, with a garage for storage, a small gym setup or somewhere to keep bikes and tools.

A walled garden feels private without demanding too much attention – patio for dinner outdoors, lawn for the kids or dog to run, and space to relax without losing your weekend to maintenance.

Biddenham delivers that blend of village calm and everyday convenience that keeps people rooted here for years. You’ve got walks by the river, a local pub that’s a genuine part of the community, and the Pavilion with its sports and social events through the seasons.

Bedford station is just a couple of miles away – direct trains to London St Pancras in under 45 minutes – and the A421 connects easily with the M1 and A1.

Local schools are highly regarded, including Biddenham International and St James’ va Primary, while Bedford Modern and Bedford Girls’ School are a short drive away.

It’s a home that fits around the way life’s actually lived – comfortable, low-stress and ready to grow with whoever calls it theirs next.
