This mid-terraced, three-bedroom townhouse offers practical family living within easy walking distance of Bedford Town Centre and the mainline train station. Spread over three floors, the home includes a ground-floor lounge, kitchen, cloakroom, and a master bedroom with a balcony, making it suitable for everyday family routines and commuting.
Outside space is compact but low maintenance, with front and rear gardens and a nearby garage plus a parking space. The property is chain free, ready for a quick move or a straightforward rental let if desired. Broadband and mobile signals are strong, supporting home working and digital needs.
Buyers should note material local-area factors: the neighbourhood records higher crime and overall area deprivation, and council tax is described as quite expensive. The house has one bathroom and warm-air gas heating; the glazing is double but the installation date is unknown. These factors may affect running costs and future upgrade needs.
For families the nearby independent and highly rated schools are a major advantage, and local amenities — shops, healthcare, leisure and schools — are within easy reach. The layout and mid-terrace form also present scope for modest improvement to increase comfort or rental appeal, but any purchaser should budget for typical maintenance and potential heating or glazing upgrades.
