Bedford Road, Sandy SG19

This individual detached Victorian residence was built in 1894 upon a plot spanning circa a quarter of an acre within part of what was formerly the Sandy Place estate. Originally built as a "Gentlemen’s residence" the now family home offers an abundance of living space over two floors. Situated on Bedford Road the property is walking distance from Sandy's market square and train station as well being very accessible to the A1 the property is ideally located for anyone looking to be with easy reach of amenities and transport links for commuting. Outside the home boasts award winning gardens featured in a number of national garden & lifestyle publications and opened for many years as part of “The National Garden Scheme". As you enter the home you are greeted with charm and character as soon as you step in to the entrance hall with a stair case winding up to the first floor and doors opening to the downstairs accommodation. The front of the home is flanked by a study along with a dining room which features a cast iron fire place and bay window. To the rear of the home is a sitting room with an open fireplace of its own and an opening to the garden room which is an extension of the sitting room and flows on in to what is currently used a hobby room that could be adapted to create an annexe space if required at a later date. The kitchen leads out to a utility room and cloakroom that connect to external doors on to the garden.

Outside to the front of the home is a gravel driveway which is screened by Wrought Iron railings dating from the 1890’s and trees providing ample off road parking. There is gated access to the side of the home that connects to courtyard area that leads to the front of the garage/workshop which lends its self as the ideal space for the diy enthusiast to work their magic. To the rear of the garage is a separate room which was designed for an exercise pool but has now been adapted to a studio area that could also make the ideal home gym. The rear garden is perfect for hosting summer garden parties and has been lovingly landscaped by the current owners through the years. Immediately to the rear of the home is a large paved courtyard area with a path leading down the garden to a vegetable plot and summer house forming an on site allotment space. The garden spans out to the side of the home with gated access back out to the driveway allowing the garden to be accessed without needing to go via the inside of the home. An internal viewing is highly recommended to truly admire the space and character this stunning home has to offer.

Sandy is a small market town that has been traced back to be a settlement from the Roman era and is located within central Bedfordshire. Sandy's amenities include local schools, shops, supermarkets, pubs, restaurants and leisure centre with fantastic facilities. Sandy is the ideal location for the commuter as the train station is on the Peterborough to London St Pancras line offering trains to the capital within 47 minutes. The rail links for the local area are planned to be further improved with east to west links due to be coming to provide improved links between Oxford and Cambridge. The nearby A1 offers a route by road both north and south, while the wider road network links to the A6 and M1 motorway. Despite being a town Sandy still offers countryside with scenic walks along the river Ivel and through the "Sandy Hills" which is home to a rspb nature reserve.
