Chain-free flat minutes from Bedford stations, ideal starter or investor.
Chain-free sale with long lease (134 years)
Set on Clapham Road and offered chain-free, this compact two-bedroom flat sits within a Victorian semi and benefits from long lease length (134 years) and a low service charge of £50pcm. The living space is bright with high ceilings and original period features visible in the building’s exterior; occupants share a communal garden and there is permit off-street parking.
Practical strengths include quick access to Bedford town centre, the bus and train stations, fast broadband and a range of local amenities — useful for commuting students or first-time buyers. The property has modern appliances and a contemporary bathroom but the flat itself is small at about 442 sq ft, so expect snug living and limited storage.
Notable drawbacks are single glazing throughout and solid brick walls with no assumed insulation, so heating costs may be higher than modern builds. The property will suit someone happy to update or improve thermal performance over time. Tenure is leasehold; the flat is located in a wider area classified as very deprived but with very low local crime and several well-regarded schools nearby.
