Set within an attractive Victorian terrace on The Embankment, this well-presented two-bedroom first-floor apartment pairs period charm with contemporary living. The open-plan kitchen/living room has a rear bay window overlooking a walled communal garden, bringing good natural light into the principal space. High ceilings and external Victorian features give character while modern uPVC sash-style glazing and gas central heating offer practical comfort.
The flat occupies a convenient central location a short riverside walk from Bedford town centre, with cafes, pubs and fast rail links to London within easy reach — ideal for commuters or buy-to-let landlords seeking central rental appeal. The property is leasehold with a long remaining term and a manageable ground rent and service charge; the communal garden and on-street/off-street parking add to its everyday convenience.
Buyers should note this is an older solid-brick building: walls are assumed to be uninsulated and some elements typical of period conversions may need updating. The apartment is presented in good order but offers clear scope for cosmetic improvement to maximise value, making it suitable for first-time buyers or investors comfortable with periodic-property considerations.
