Seller Insight Since 2002, Bedford couple Lou and Connie have nurtured this fantastic family home, surrounded by panoramic vistas of open fields, where they have lived with their son and daughter. “We purchased the property in early 2002 and spent the first few months making the property our own before we moved in in the August,” recalls Lou. “We were attracted initially to the properties ideal location. The location is very central with good access to local services. We are bang in the middle of all the major routes, the A1, A45, A14, A6 and M1. We liked the look of the property from the front and when we stepped inside my wife fell in love with the spacious hallway and landing.” “When we moved in our children were still at private school in Bedford – our daughter attended Bedford Girls School, and our son attended Bedford Modern. From the property is takes ten minutes to reach Bedford, which is our nearest large town” Bedford provides a wealth of retail opportunities and dining options to suit every need. In the opposite direction Wellingborough offers high street convenience. “There are train’s to London from both Bedford and Wellingborough. Our daughter now works in London and from Bedford station it takes 35minutes to reach St Pancreas station.” “The driveway circles the entire house, which has been extremely convenient for unloading shopping at the back door or packing to go on holiday. The large inglenook fireplace is the most impressive feature of the house and creates a cosy atmosphere of a winters evening. At Christmas time when our large extended family of around 30, gather here, the dining room and living room both easily accommodate us all comfortably. In the summer time the garden pool complex and conservatory is a wonderful place to socialise, there is a large patio area for BBQs and raised beds of perennial flowers and herbs, which provide beautiful colours, and delicious scents all year round. However it is by far the kitchen, which is the central hub of our home. It is where we all converse in the mornings or after a long days work.” The couple have always dreamed of building their own home and now have the opportunity to do so…. Just down the street! * These comments are the personal views of the current owners and are included as an insight into life at the property.
