Summary - 36 Pembroke Street MK40 3RH
3 bed 1 bath Terraced
Period features and garden; needs full modernisation and service checks.
Sold by online auction, six-week completion required
Sold by online auction with a six-week completion window, this vacant three-bedroom mid-terrace offers clear scope to add value. The house retains Victorian character — bay window, high ceilings and period proportions — and sits on a small plot with a private rear garden. Its freehold tenure and vacant status simplify purchase and handover for buyers or developers.
The property requires full modernisation: cosmetic updating throughout, likely improvements to insulation (solid brick walls assumed uninsulated) and an unknown age of double glazing. Heating is mains gas via a boiler and radiators; buyers should expect refurbishment costs and to confirm services and wiring during due diligence.
Location is a strength: close to Bedford town centre, riverside walks, local amenities and regular rail services to London St Pancras (around 40 minutes). Nearby schools — including several independent options — and good road links (A421, A6, M1) make the house suitable for family buyers seeking a renovation project or investors targeting rental or resale uplift.
This is a practical opportunity for those comfortable with a renovation timeline and auction purchase terms. The privileged position and period features give clear potential, but budget realistically for works and checks on structure, services and insulation before committing.
