This two-bedroom second-floor apartment on The Fairway offers practical, move-in-ready accommodation for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor. The block is well maintained with a recently replaced roof, refitted boiler and secure communal entrance. Inside, a bright lounge/diner opens onto a private balcony; the kitchen, two double bedrooms and a modern shower room deliver a straightforward, sensible layout.
Key strengths are the location and running costs: local shops, bus stops and good primary and secondary school catchments are within walking distance, and the service charge is modest. Outside there is communal drying space and two brick storage cupboards, useful extras for flat living.
A material drawback is the remaining lease of 83 years — this is short enough to affect mortgageability and value, and will require renegotiation or extension soon. The building’s cavity walls are assumed uninsulated and the block dates from the mid-20th century, so buyers should budget for ongoing maintenance and ask for confirmation of insulation, EPC and other certificates.
Overall this apartment suits buyers seeking an affordable entry into Bedford or investors after a lettable two-bed flat close to amenities and transport links. Interested parties should verify lease extension costs, service charge breakdown, and the working condition of services prior to committing.
