Summary - 48E CHAUCER ROAD BEDFORD MK40 2AP
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Central Bedford conversion ideal for first-time buyers or investors.
Chain free top-floor one-bedroom flat with period features
A bright top-floor one-bedroom flat in a converted mid‑Victorian terrace, offered chain free and ready for immediate occupation or letting. The split-level layout and high ceilings retain period character — arched windows and a decorative fireplace — while a neutral contemporary finish makes the space usable with minimal immediate work. The property is well suited to a single occupant, couple or buy‑to‑let investor seeking central Bedford location and rental potential.
Practical positives include double glazing, mains gas boiler heating with radiators, and a long galley kitchen with modern units. At around 766 sq ft overall, the flat feels larger than typical one-bed conversions thanks to its multi‑storey arrangement and generous ceiling heights. On‑street parking and a small private paved forecourt to the front provide useful kerbside convenience.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold top‑floor conversion in a densely built urban street. There is no private rear garden, and the building appears to have timber‑frame walls with assumed no insulation, so future buyers may want to budget for insulation or energy improvements. The local area is classified as deprived with higher crime levels than average; that may affect rental demand and, for some buyers, lifestyle considerations.
For investors the property can be sold with a tenant in situ, offering immediate income, but purchasers should check the existing tenancy and any management arrangements. First‑time buyers will find the central location and chain‑free sale straightforward, though they should factor in potential refurbishment or energy‑efficiency upgrades over time.
