Large Victorian conversion flat — great for commuters, share of freehold and parking.
Generous 636 sq ft one‑bed apartment with flexible layout
A spacious one‑bed apartment offering over 600 sq ft of living space in a handsome Victorian building. The generous lounge/diner, large double bedroom and flexible hall/study area make this a practical first home or a straightforward rental unit. Share of freehold and 158 years remaining on the lease provide long-term security.
Practical benefits include off‑street allocated parking, access to a communal garden, a brand‑new combi boiler and fast broadband with excellent mobile signal. The property is within comfortable walking distance of Bedford mainline station, making it attractive to commuters to London and local professionals.
Buyers should note material negatives: the surrounding area shows very high recorded crime and high deprivation levels, and the building’s original solid brick walls likely have little insulation, which may increase heating costs and point to future retrofit work. The service charge is £720 per year (approx. £60 pcm).
Overall this apartment suits first‑time buyers wanting a roomy, well‑located home with low immediate management needs, or investors seeking a commuter‑friendly let — provided buyers are comfortable with local area challenges and potential improvement costs.
