Set at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Kempston, this three-bedroom mid-terrace is offered chain-free and suits a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor. The layout includes a porch, welcoming living room, separate dining room, fitted kitchen and direct garden access — practical spaces ready for everyday use. A single garage in a block adds useful parking and storage.
Internally the property presents basic, largely serviceable finishes with recent redecorating to some rooms and laminate flooring. There is clear scope to modernise the fireplace, kitchen and bathroom to increase comfort and rental or resale value. The rear garden is manageable but on the small side, suitable for low-maintenance planting or a patio.
Location is a genuine selling point: nearby schools (several rated Good), countryside walks and quick road access to the A421 linking to the M1, A6 and A1. Broadband speeds are fast and crime levels are low, supporting either family living or stable tenancy.
Buyers should note the property’s modest overall footprint and small plot size; it is a compact urban home rather than a spacious family house. Cosmetic and modernisation work will be needed to unlock its full potential, but the freehold tenure and no upward chain make it a straightforward purchase for those looking to add value or secure an affordable home in a well-connected area.
