Purpose-built ground-floor retirement flat close to Bedford station and town centre.
Ground‑floor retirement apartment for ages 60+
This ground-floor retirement apartment is arranged for comfortable, low‑maintenance living for those aged 60+. The layout includes a good‑sized double bedroom with built-in storage, a living/dining room with French doors and a focal fireplace, a fitted kitchen and a bathroom. Communal facilities—lounge, laundry, lift and 24‑hour emergency call—support independent living and socialising.
Practical benefits include replacement double glazing, an off‑street parking space available by application and easy access to Bedford town centre and the mainline station. The flat’s ground‑floor position and nearby scooter charging point make it suitable for limited-mobility residents.
Buyers should be aware of important financial and local considerations. The lease has approximately 61–62 years remaining and the ground rent is high at about £222.99 per month (quoted as £2,675.88 pa). These factors may make mortgage finance difficult or unavailable through many lenders. The surrounding area is flagged as deprived with higher local crime statistics, which may concern some purchasers.
Overall, this property will suit a cash buyer or someone able to accept the lease and service cost profile in exchange for a purpose-built retirement apartment close to town amenities. Independent checks on lease terms, service charges and lending options are strongly recommended before progressing.
