Description
Set within a private riverside community in Turvey, this three-bedroom mid-terrace home enjoys beautiful views across its established garden towards the river. Arranged over three floors, the accommodation makes the most of the setting, with an elevated sitting room opening onto a balcony and the principal bedroom overlooking the mature garden and river below.
The modern, yet traditional style house combines generously proportioned living space with a practical layout, including a separate kitchen diner, two bath and shower rooms. There is also the benefit of a substantial integral garage with an adjoining utility room. Its stone, brick and timber-clad elevations complement the surrounding mill buildings, giving the development a distinctive character. The property also benefits from newly installed double glazing to the rear of the house.
The garden is a particular feature, with mature planting, a small lawn and several peaceful seating areas leading down towards the water. Together with the views from the house, it creates an appealing rural setting for a home within this well-regarded Bedfordshire village.
Internal Accommodation
Steps rise to a covered entrance, where the front door opens into a vaulted hallway with stairs leading to the main living accommodation on the first floor.
The kitchen and dining room is fitted with timber-fronted cabinetry, contrasting work surfaces and tiled splashbacks. A built-in oven and hob are set within the units, alongside a convenient sink waste disposal system. Two windows bring fabulous rural and riverside views and natural light into the room. There is comfortable space for a dining table beside them, keeping cooking and everyday dining together in one room.
Positioned across the rear of the house, the sitting room is particularly spacious, with room for several seating arrangements. A cosy fireplace with a timber surround forms a focal point, complemented by fitted shelving and storage. Windows overlook the garden and river, while glazed double doors open onto the balcony, drawing the riverside setting into the room.
The ground floor provides a substantial integral garage, offering considerable space for parking, storage and workshop use. A roller shutter door opens to the front, while a rear door gives access to the garden. The neighbouring house has converted this space, offering further accommodation if required
The adjoining utility room has cupboards, a work surface, and a sink, with space beneath for laundry appliances. Internal access from the entrance hall makes this a practical area for laundry and household storage, separate from the main living rooms.
The three bedrooms are arranged on the second floor around a central landing.
The principal bedroom enjoys views over the garden and benefits from a range of fitted wardrobes. Its modern and stylish en suite shower room includes a shower enclosure, washbasin and WC.
Bedroom two is another comfortable double room, with space for freestanding furniture. The third bedroom overlooks the garden and is currently arranged with a single bed and desk, making it equally useful as a bedroom or additional workspace.
The family bathroom is fitted with a white suite comprising a bath with a shower above and glazed screen, a washbasin and WC.
External
The rear garden has been carefully planted to provide colour, texture and interest throughout its different areas and seasons. Paved and gravel paths wind between established borders, clipped shrubs and mature trees, opening onto a lawn with space to sit and enjoy the surroundings.
Closer to the house, a circular gravel seating area creates an attractive focal point when viewed from the balcony above. Further down the garden, a planted pergola shelters a paved seating area, while a small timber deck beside the river provides a real nature lovers paradise to unwind in peace.
The south west facing balcony offers an elevated outlook across the garden towards the river, giving the main reception room a particularly attractive connection with the unique riverside environment.
