This bright two-bedroom first-floor apartment sits in a tucked-away spot close to Bedford town centre and the station, making it a practical step onto the property ladder or a straightforward buy-to-let. Large sash-style windows and neutral decor create a light, airy feel throughout; wood-effect flooring runs through the principal rooms and the kitchen has contemporary tiled splashbacks.
Layout is traditional and efficient: an open-plan living/kitchen area, two generous double bedrooms (one could serve as a living room or home office) and a fully tiled shower room. The building includes secure entry and an allocated off-street parking space — a valuable asset in a central location.
Practical points for buyers: this is a leasehold apartment with around 115 years remaining, an average service charge of about £1,200 and a small ground rent of £250. The property is in an area with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal but local crime rates and wider area deprivation are high, which may affect resale or rental appeal.
Overall, the home offers immediate liveability with scope to personalise and modernise. It will suit first-time buyers wanting central convenience or investors looking for a lettable city-centre flat, provided you allow for communal charges and consider the local area profile.
