1 bed 1 bath Flat
Commuter-friendly flat near station and riverside amenities.
One-bedroom apartment, approx 516 sq ft
This one-bedroom, 516 sq ft apartment sits in a modern block just southwest of Bedford town centre, a short walk from the mainline station and hospital. The open-plan living and kitchen area receives good natural light and leads to a balcony; a single well-proportioned bedroom and a modern bathroom complete the layout. Secure underground garage parking and a communal lift add everyday convenience for commuters.
The property is leasehold with an exceptionally long term remaining (993 years), making it suitable for first-time buyers seeking a low-risk leasehold purchase or commuters who value quick access to London (around 40 minutes to St Pancras). Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, while crime and flood risk are very low.
Buyers should note this is an average-sized one-bedroom apartment with communal service costs. Annual service charge is around £1,338 and ground rent is £157 per year; council tax is described as cheap. The surrounding area is an urban, culturally mixed neighbourhood with practical amenities nearby — riverside leisure, shops, buses and cycle routes — and several well-regarded schools within reach.
Overall, the flat offers straightforward, low-maintenance city living with strong commuter credentials and long lease security. It suits someone wanting a lock-up-and-leave home or a rental investment, provided they budget for the service charge and ground rent.
