This well-presented one-bedroom first-floor flat offers unusually generous living space for the price, centred on a large 17ft x 14ft open-plan living/dining room with an integrated kitchen. The property includes practical extras—built-in bedroom wardrobes, a fitted utility room, pantry storage and a fitted bathroom with shower—making it move-in ready for a first-time buyer or a straightforward buy-to-let investment.
Externally the flat benefits from communal gardens and a residents’ off-street parking area (first-come, first-served). Running costs are modest: an affordable service charge (c. £395.91pa), low ground rent (£10pa) and Council Tax Band A. Broadband speeds are fast and heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators.
Important points to note: the property is leasehold with about 90–91 years remaining on the lease; buyers should budget for lease considerations and any future extension costs. The parking is communal rather than allocated and the neighbourhood records higher-than-average crime and local area deprivation indicators, which may affect family buyers or those seeking a very low-crime location.
Overall this compact but roomy apartment is best suited to a first-time buyer seeking low running costs and a straightforward purchase (no chain), or an investor looking for an affordable central Kempston let with good tenant demand potential.
