Living the good life in Bedford needn't cost the earth

Living the good life needn’t cost the earth reports Lagan Homes. It is still possible to find a reasonably priced house in a good area that also comes with a decent specification as visitors to Kingswood Park, Biddenham Vale in Bedford will find. Here Lagan Homes has created a stunning new community of family homes which overlook the neighbouring Bedford Golf Club.

John Lougher, Managing Director of Lagan Homes comments: “The average house price in Bedford for a four bedroom family is around £284,000, whereas a similar sized property at Kingswood Park is around £264,950. Add to this the fantastic specification, location and new community facilities, residents couldn’t want for more.”

Providing a wide range of two, three, four and five bedroom homes, the newly created village, also known locally as Biddenham Loop is bounded by the River Great Ouse, to the west of Bedford. Residents will benefit from a wide range of planned community facilities including a new lower school, middle school, community hall, food and retail outlets, crèche, multi-faith ecumenical hall, public library, recycling facilities, public house, gymnasium and office / commercial premises, in addition to the existing medical centre.

In the fullness of time, residents will be able to enjoy a 200-acre Country Park beside the River Great Ouse including open space areas, equipped play areas, playing fields, an all weather multi-use sports pitch, youth facilities and a new pavilion with changing rooms. New cycle ways are being created, linking to the national cycle way network and a park and ride facility. Road links are being much improved with the opening of the new Bedford Western bypass.

Whatsmore, commuters are well catered for with Bedford’s two railway stations offering fast and frequent main line rail services to London King’s Cross / St Pancras in around 40 minutes. Road travel links in all directions are excellent. Bedford is located between the M1 and A1 motorways with the London Orbital M25 to the south and the A14 to the north, linking to the M6 and M11.

The newly completed western by-pass, next to Biddenham Vale, links the A428 at Bromham to the A421 at Kempston, with its popular out-of-town shopping centre Kempston Interchange Retail Park.

Prices at Kingswood Park start from £239,950 for a three bedroom detached home. The marketing suite and show home is open Thursday to Monday from 10am to 5pm.
