A compact two-bedroom ground-floor flat positioned on Cranfield High Street, offering an affordable entry into a very sought-after small-town location. The layout includes a generous living room with direct garden access, a kitchen that opens to the patio, and two double bedrooms — the master benefiting from underfloor heating. An integral single garage in a block adds secure parking or storage, rare for flats in this area.
The flat sits in a solid-brick building constructed before 1900 and has double glazing; heating is mains gas via boiler and radiators, with some rooms relying on electric heaters. The property is leasehold (114 years remaining) with modest ground rent and a below-average service charge, making ongoing costs predictable for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor.
Accommodation is well proportioned but overall size is small (approximately 517 sq ft), so purchasers should expect compact living and limited storage. There is scope to personalise and improve finishes — particularly kitchen and bathroom — to increase comfort and value. Walls are the original solid brick (no known insulation), so buyers should consider thermal upgrade opportunities.
This flat suits a first-time buyer wanting a convenient High Street location near good schools and local amenities, or an investor looking for straightforward rental appeal. Be aware of the leasehold status, small communal charges, and the need for cosmetic updating; these factors are reflected in the accessible asking price.
