A bright, period first-floor apartment set on a tree-lined stretch of Waterloo Road, moments from the Embankment and Castle Road cafés. Two large bay windows and high ceilings give the living room and main bedroom a spacious, light-filled feel; the layout includes a fitted kitchen, two bedrooms and one bathroom. Residents benefit from rare communal access to a private one-acre paddock and off-street parking to the side.
Practical costs are straightforward: a new 125-year lease will be issued, the proposed annual service charge is approximately £900 and council tax is very low. Heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators; the building dates from the early 20th century and retains period character. EPC is D.
This property is offered chain-free and sits within Bedford’s Conservation Area, with independent shops, delis and parks a short walk away. It will suit downsizers or buyers seeking a period conversion close to town amenities who value outdoor communal space.
Notable considerations: there is only one bathroom for two bedrooms, the building has solid brick walls (likely no wall insulation) and the EPC is D, so further energy improvements may be beneficial. The communal retirement classification and nearby student neighbourhoods indicate a mixed resident profile.
