3 bed detached house for sale

Church Lane, Bedford MK41

This exceptional home presents a rare opportunity to acquire a truly individual residence set on an impressive and mature plot approaching 0.7 acres, subject to survey, while remaining within easy reach of Bedford’s extensive amenities, attractions, and excellent transport links. The town centre is around 1.5 miles away.

Offering over 2,000 sq ft of well-appointed internal accommodation, the property combines generous proportions with a number of unique and appealing features throughout. There is scope for some updating throughout and possibly for redevelopment, subject to planning permission.

Upon entering, a welcoming entrance porch leads into a spacious entrance hall that forms the heart of the ground floor. From here, a charming bay-fronted study provides an ideal workspace and flows through to the formal dining room, where sliding doors open to reveal views across the gardens.

The kitchen is fitted with modern integral appliances and granite work surfaces, providing both style and practicality, along with ample space for everyday dining. The living room is a bright and expansive space, enhanced by impressive floor-to-ceiling bay windows that frame beautiful views of the garden. Abundant natural light and generous proportions make this a highly versatile area for relaxation or entertaining. There is also a ground floor shower room.

The first floor is arranged around a central landing that serves three well-proportioned bedrooms and the family bathroom.

The principal bedroom is a generous double, featuring dual-aspect windows and fitted wardrobes. Bedroom two is also a spacious double with built-in storage, while bedroom three offers a versatile single room suitable for use as a bedroom, nursery, or home office. The family bathroom is particularly well sized, featuring both a bath and separate shower.

Externally, the property is approached via a gated, generous driveway providing ample off-road parking and access to a double garage.

To the rear, the home opens onto an expansive wraparound garden, beautifully landscaped with sweeping lawns, mature trees, and established borders that offer colour, privacy, and interest throughout the year. There is also excellent potential to extend or further improve the property, subject to the necessary planning permissions.

A standout feature is the outdoor swimming pool, complemented by a dedicated pool house. This impressive leisure suite includes a sunken hot tub, sauna, and fully fitted kitchen - creating an exceptional space for year-round relaxation and entertaining. With extensive areas for outdoor seating and dining, the garden provides a private and idyllic setting, perfect for family life or hosting guests.

The sellers are considering a restriction on development of further dwellings within the grounds, but this would be subject to negotiation.

Goldington Green is well placed for a wide range of everyday amenities, including major Tesco and Waitrose stores, along with numerous recreational facilities. Bedford’s town centre and mainline railway station are easily accessible, offering fast and frequent services to London St Pancras and beyond. The nearby Bedford southern bypass also provides convenient connections to both the A1 and M1, making the location ideal for commuters.
