5 Bedroom Home with Ground Floor Living on a South facing .29 acre plot, Bromham.

Here’s your chance for countryside living with a London connection, in a readymade family residence with a fabulous plot, on a highly regarded road of unique and aspirational properties.

The location in Bromham is hard to beat, surrounded by scenery, with walks in all directions, yet within easy reach of Bedford town centre and mainline station. Rail services run from Bedford into London and onto Luton and Gatwick airports, as well as to Bletchley, and nearby road networks include the A1 and the M1.

For families, the village has a pre-school and a primary school, and Bedford’s Harpur Trust schools are a short drive away. For essentials, there’s a parade of shops, two pubs, and The Mill café. The local area offers sports facilities and swimming pools, sailing and watersports, golf courses and equestrian centres. The community gathers each year for the Bromham Show, where there’s something for everyone, from dogs and dancing, to birds of prey and bike acrobatics, to classic cars and vegetable contests.

Molivers Lane is a sought-after street lined with luxury homes and ending in fields. Halfway up sits this property, set back from the road and with extensive parking. The garage has been converted into an annexe, but there’s plenty of driveway to add a new one if needed (stp).

For the current owners, it was the plot that drew them to this house above all others. The garden is significant, faces south, and is screened by mature planting and tall trees featuring apple, plum and raspberry. The owners have had chickens in the past, and there’s ample space for an allotment. The lawn is long enough for a cricket pitch, and the block-paved patio provides seating. It’s private, peaceful, and has potential for extending the accommodation without affecting the outdoor space.

Internally, the square footage is also sizeable, with a flexible layout for whatever your lifestyle. There are generous rooms throughout, including a lounge with a log burner and a bow window, a huge conservatory that’s been handy for having the whole family over, and five double bedrooms for a big brood. Four of the bedrooms, an en suite shower room and the bathroom are on the first floor, while the fifth bedroom and the second en suite are on the ground floor. The bathrooms were replaced as the priority when the owners moved in, and over the years, they’ve kept the home in good condition, redecorating and recarpeting.

The earlier garage conversion created the annexe, currently used as a must-have home office and a generous gym. This self-contained space gives friends and relatives somewhere to stay, and this is a house that’s comfortable, not cramped, especially appreciated at Christmastime when family flock. This would make a great space for older children, granting them privacy.

The main L-shaped living accommodation is open, sociable, and again sizeable. The kitchen is fitted in a farmhouse style with solid wood cabinetry and a butchers block island, with granite worktops and space for a range, and the utility is contemporary in contrast. The dining area allows for entertaining while cooking, without feeling separated from friends and family, and the conservatory is adjacent for overflow. There’s possibility to replace and reconfigure (stp) into an even bigger, even better space, and you need only look to the neighbours to see what could be done here.

If you dream of a country life, raising a family in a village community, with all the space you’ll want for years to come, this is the home for you. Don’t let this chance pass you by.
