For both a quiet village life and a central location, it’s got to be Biddenham. For a substantial family residence, a wonderful plot, a double garage and a multi-car driveway, you’ve found the one.

The current owners are the only people to have ever lived in this property, purchasing over 20 years ago, when it had been sat empty for over a decade. Imagining it vacant is difficult, because they’ve created a warm, cosy and well-loved home. Over the years, there have been updates and improvements, most recently revamping the master bedroom and en suite. All four bedrooms are doubles, ideal for a large family, and there’s a flexible room downstairs that’s currently an office, but would work well as a playroom or fifth bedroom.

Storage is available for everyone, to an understairs cupboard in the hall, fitted cupboards in the office, an overstairs cupboard in bedroom four, provision for wardrobes in each bedroom, and to the double garage and two boarded lofts. The loft above the utility is dedicated to Christmas decorations, and the main loft from the first floor is huge.

Not just suited to family, this house is great for friends to come over too. The lounge is a spacious yet comfortable room, benefitting from a box bay window to the front for lots of natural light, and a stone fireplace for bringing warmth in wintertime. Hosting is made easy with a country-style kitchen for making dinner, and a formal dining room for sitting together around the table to enjoy it, the French doors open for fresh air to flow in.

There’s potential here to reconfigure into an open-plan layout if preferred (stp). The kitchen is sectioned into kitchen and utility areas, joined by an archway. Dogs can come in the back door after a walk, keeping muddy paws away from carpets.
Summer is their favourite season at this home, when they and their dog can appreciate the garden. Patios are laid out around the generous lawn to make the most of the sunshine throughout the day, so there’s always somewhere to sit for either sun or shade. There are many mature plants and shrubs, and trees screen the plot well from neighbouring properties. To the front is a low maintenance slate area by the front door, on which the owners have placed pots of various plants to walk past when they come home. The block-paved driveway has space for multiple vehicles, alongside the double garage for a further two. Access to the house is via a gated shared driveway, set around a central lawn.

One of three executive properties in this turning, the trio were originally showhouses when built in the early 90s. The appeal of the area continues to this day, situated in prime commuter territory, yet in a peaceful village position. Biddenham offers a private hospital, a local pub, and a pavilion with sports facilities just 200m away. Primary schooling is in the centre, there’s an International School on the outskirts, and Harpur Trust schools are in Bedford. Bedford also has mainline rail services into London St Pancras, Milton Keynes, Luton and Gatwick airports, as well as major road networks for local and national travel. The closest amenities are in Bromham and Great Denham, including shops, Post Offices, doctors, dentist, takeaways and cafés. Bromham Mill in particular is a very family-friendly spot for coffee and cake, lunch by the river, and a roster of events for all ages. The neighbouring nature reserve and fairy trail are perfect for a weekend wander, with longer, wide open walks through surrounding fields and countryside.
