Summary - HILLSTONE GRANGE 1 SHAKESPEARE ROAD BEDFORD MK40 2UJ
2 bed 1 bath Maisonette
Compact, commuter-friendly maisonette with private entrance and allocated parking, close to Bedford station..
Chain-free ground-floor maisonette with private entrance
A compact two-bedroom ground-floor maisonette in Bedford’s central ‘Poets’ area, offered chain-free and ready for immediate occupation or let. The flat benefits from its own private entrance, an allocated off-street parking space and a separate kitchen — practical features for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking low-maintenance city living. The living room and double bedroom are well proportioned for the property’s overall size, and double glazing plus gas central heating provide everyday comfort.
Positioned within easy walking distance of Bedford mainline station (around 50 minutes to London), local supermarkets and town-centre amenities, the location is the key selling point. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, matching the needs of commuters and students in this mixed neighbourhood of professionals and pupils.
Buyers should note material constraints: the flat is small at about 390 sq ft, the lease has approximately 89 years remaining, and annual service charges and ground rent total about £700. The area records higher crime and relative deprivation, so purchasers should consider suitability and due diligence. Council tax is described as cheap, which helps running costs.
This maisonette suits a first-time buyer seeking an affordable city-base with commuter links, or an investor after a centrally located tenancy. It’s important to check the lease details, EPC and communal management before committing and to allow for any cosmetic updating to personalise the compact interior.
