A newly refurbished one-bedroom apartment in the heart of Bedford town centre, offered chain-free and ready for immediate occupation or rental. The flat sits on the first floor of a Victorian terrace, blending period exterior character with contemporary neutral interiors, laminate flooring and modern fixtures. With 101 years remaining on the lease and low ground rent, it suits buyers wanting a straightforward leasehold holding.
This property is well-positioned for lettings or first-step ownership: central amenities, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support a high-demand rental profile for students or professionals. Off-street communal parking adds practical appeal in a central location. The apartment's compact 442 sq ft footprint keeps running costs low, and recent refurbishment reduces immediate maintenance needs.
Prospective buyers should note the service charge is £2,283.12 per year and ground rent £100 annually; factor these into running costs. The area has very high crime levels and is classed as very deprived, which may affect rental values, tenant sourcing and insurance costs. The building is solid-brick Victorian with assumed limited wall insulation, and heating is via a mains-gas boiler and radiators, so consider potential energy-efficiency improvements if long-term ownership is planned.
Overall this is a pragmatic investment or convenient central home for a single professional or couple. Its no-chain status, recent refurbishment and long lease make it easy to transact, while the neighbourhood profile and service charges are material considerations for budgeting, management and resale timing.
