A well-presented two-bedroom first-floor apartment offering low‑maintenance living close to Bedford town centre and the mainline station. The flat benefits from a long lease (952 years), allocated off-street parking and a private balcony — practical features for a first-time buyer seeking convenience and ready-to-move-in accommodation.
Internally the home has two double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, a separate refitted kitchen and a modern shower room. The lounge/dining room opens onto the balcony, extending living space and providing outdoor access without garden upkeep. The property is an average-sized 684 sq ft and is presented in good decorative order throughout.
Important practical points: heating is via electric storage heaters and the property is in a neighbourhood classed as deprived with a higher local crime level. There is no private garden — only communal grounds — and purchasers should note electric-only mains and check any service charge or ground rent details as part of legal enquiries. Council tax is described as affordable.
Overall this apartment suits a first-time buyer looking for a low‑upkeep home with excellent transport links (0.5 miles to the mainline station) and easy access to shops, schools and town amenities. It also has straightforward buy-to-let potential for investors who accept the local area profile and electric heating arrangement.
