A prestigious first floor, three bedroom apartment on Rothsay Road, just off The Embankment. The property has no upper chain, its own garden space, access to The Paddock and large room sizes.
The apartment occupies all of the first floor, with only two other properties in the grand Victorian house.
The property has tall ceilings, detailed cornicing, fireplaces and there is a very generous sitting room with box bay window to the front and lovely fireplace. The kitchen dining room overlooks the garden at the back of the property. There are plenty of storage cupboards, a fireplace and space for table and chairs.
Bedroom one is an excellent size with built in wardrobes either side of a fireplace and bay window to the front. There is a further double bedroom with fireplace and bedroom three is a single bedroom, currently used as an office with a pretty arch window to the front of the house.
The shower room has a four piece suite with bidet and two windows for lots of natural light. There is also a small additional cloakroom "for visitors" just off the hallway.
The front door is accessed from the side of the building and shared with the apartment above it. There is a security entry phone for visitor access. A locked gate leads to the garden at the back of the house. The three apartments all own a section of garden, that is shown on their title plan, and currently open. This property has a lockable outbuilding on the ground floor and shed in the garden. There is access to the Wade Gery Lawn Tennis Club, or paddock, as it is known. This is a three quarter of a acre wall garden for residence only use (small annual maintenance charge).
The local Castle Quarter boasts a wonderful community spirit and is highly regarded for its amenities. There are two family butchers, a fishmonger, a zero-waste shop, independent wine & craft beer shops, cafes, restaurants, pubs, and independent shops. Bedford is also well known for its easy commute to London (43 minutes to St Pancras) and excellent schooling options for both state and private education.
