A compact two-bedroom third-floor flat offering convenient commuter living in central Bedford. The apartment benefits from a recently refitted combination boiler, secondary glazing and an allocated off-street parking space, making it practical for daily life. The property is presented as a straightforward, modern flat with fitted wardrobes in the master bedroom and built-in storage in the hallway.
Location is the main draw: the flat is within easy walking distance of Bedford Mainline station (services to London St Pancras from approximately 34 minutes), the town centre, supermarkets and local amenities. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support home working and streaming, while nearby schools and leisure facilities add everyday convenience.
Buyers should note material considerations: the building sits in an area with higher-than-average crime and general deprivation indicators, and overall size is small at about 487 sq ft. There is a service charge averaging £1,200 per year and the property description references 188 years remaining on the lease despite freehold/ share-of-freehold wording — the long lease term offers security but buyers should confirm legal title.
This flat will suit first-time buyers or investors seeking a well-located, low-maintenance home or rental close to transport links. It offers straightforward cosmetic potential rather than major renovation scope.
