Bedford, MK40 4AH

Looking out across the green fields and leafy woodland behind Bridgewater House, it is easy to see exactly what drew the current owners to the place just over 20 years ago. Since then, they have transformed the property into a magnificent, well-proportioned family home that is at least four times larger and is now a splendid place to live, work and welcome friends and family. “I didn’t really know Biddenham before, but this was such a lovely, beautiful and peaceful spot,” one of them recalls. “The views across the countryside behind us are second to none and we have trees to the front as well. We can walk out along public footpaths and alongside the river and yet we are just five or 10 minutes from Bedford and 20 minutes from Milton Keynes. We are ideally situated for major roads and transport connections. This is a superb place to live.”
