This compact two-bedroom end-of-terrace offers an affordable entry point into Bedford’s housing market. Situated in a popular residential area within walking distance of the mainline station, the house is chain-free and freehold, making it suitable for a first-time buyer or a buy-to-let investor. The property includes allocated off-street parking and small front and rear gardens for outdoor space.
Internally the layout is traditional: lounge/diner and fitted kitchen on the ground floor, with two double bedrooms and a bathroom above. The home is of modest overall size (about 561 sq ft) and was built in the late 1970s/early 1980s, with electric storage heaters as the main heating source. These features keep running costs and future improvement needs clear for budgeting and planning.
Location is a strong selling point — close to Bedford town centre, riverside amenities and frequent rail services to London. Nearby schools include good-rated and independent options. Be aware the area records above-average crime rates and is classed as relatively deprived, so purchasers should consider local safety and investment policies. Viewing is recommended to judge space and condition in person.
