A truly rare opportunity to acquire a substantial mixed-use Edwardian property in Dunstable, comprising a well-established former nursery setting, a spacious three-bedroom apartment, basement office accommodation, a detached double garage, and extensive outdoor space. Occupying an attractive and characterful Edwardian house, the property retains many of its original features and charm, creating a warm and welcoming environment throughout. While thoughtfully adapted to provide excellent childcare facilities, the building continues to exude a homely feel that sets it apart from more traditional commercial premises. The nursery accommodation is currently arranged to provide dedicated baby, toddler, and pre-school rooms, all designed to create engaging and well-resourced learning environments for different age groups. The setting has previously been inspected and registered with Ofsted and the local authority, making it an excellent opportunity for those looking to continue operating within the childcare sector or explore alternative uses, subject to any necessary consents. A particular feature of the property is the generous outdoor space, providing an extensive area for play, recreation, and outdoor learning. Such a substantial outside area is increasingly difficult to find and significantly enhances the appeal of the premises. The property also benefits from a basement level currently arranged as two separate office spaces, ideal for administration, meetings, home working, or additional business use. Historically, the first floor also formed part of the nursery operation and therefore offers excellent flexibility. It is currently arranged as a spacious three-bedroom apartment, providing comfortable living accommodation with the potential for owner occupation, staff accommodation, rental income, or re-integration into the wider commercial space, subject to requirements and any necessary permissions. Externally, there is a detached double garage offering secure parking, storage, workshop space, or further potential. The overall plot provides a fantastic combination of commercial, residential, and outdoor space rarely available within a single freehold property. This versatile property presents an exciting opportunity for investors, childcare providers, business owners, developers, or those seeking a live/work environment. Its blend of period character, flexible accommodation, substantial outdoor space, and prominent location make it a truly unique offering. Situated within easy reach of Dunstable town centre, local schools, shops, and amenities, the property also benefits from excellent transport connections including the A5, M1 Junctions 9 and 11a, and the Luton & Dunstable Guided Busway, providing direct access to Luton Airport and Luton Mainline Station. The nearby Dunstable Downs and Whipsnade Zoo further enhance the area's appeal. Viewing is essential to fully appreciate the size, character, flexibility, and potential this exceptional property has to offer. **Disclaimer: Important Notice to Prospective Buyers** All information provided in this listing has been gathered from sources believed to be reliable, but we cannot warrant its accuracy or completeness.
