Vamp up your villa in Bedford

Purchasers looking for a period style villa carefully designed with a modern specification that can be tailored to their own requirements, need look no further than Lansdowne Villas in Bedford.
Perfect for budding Lawrence Llweyn-Bowens or Kelly Hoppen’s who like to add their own glamour and sophistication, Storey Homes is providing purchasers with the opportunity to select the flooring, tiling and lighting of their choice after which the properties are complete and ready to move into.
Situated in a handsome conservation area on Lansdowne Road, the three storey, four bedroom villas have been thoughtfully designed to reflect the surrounding Victorian townhouses. Features include elegant brickwork, sash windows, high ceilings, bay windows and pitched roofs.
Providing excellent family homes, each of the two new villas feature an extensive open plan kitchen and dining area on the ground floor which is ideal for entertaining family and friends. Spaciously designed, the kitchens have granite worktops, a stainless steel fridge freezer, an integrated dishwasher, a wine cooler and microwave, and an oven with five-ring gas hob and extractor hood.
At the rear of each house, the spacious lounge has bi-folding doors that open to reveal a landscaped rear garden. A separate utility room and w/c complete the floor.
Upstairs to the first floor, a spacious master bedroom features an en-suite shower room and fitted wardrobes. Two further double bedrooms are located on this floor, both of which have access to a separate family bathroom. On the top floor, another double bedroom is provided with an en-suite shower room and airing cupboard.
Gareth Jacob, Head of Sales and Marketing at Storey Homes comments: “The two new villas at Lansdowne Villas offer the perfect combination of Victorian style architecture complete with a modern specification. They are ready to move into once the final designs have been selected, so buyers could be in their new home by the end of the Summer.”
A next phase of new homes at Lansdowne Villas is expected to be launched in Summer 2011 which will provide a further 220 new homes designed to reflect the local vernacular.
