Summary - OAKLAND COURT, 25 FLAT 2 ROTHSAY ROAD BEDFORD MK40 3PT
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Character-filled flat close to shops, station and schools, ideal for a buyer ready to renovate.
Ground-floor two-bedroom flat in converted Victorian building
A spacious two-bedroom ground-floor apartment set within a converted Victorian semi in Bedford’s Castle Quarter. High ceilings, a large bay window and original period features give the living room strong character and generous natural light. The flat includes an allocated off-street parking space and a share of the freehold, offering ownership stability not common with many flats.
The property requires modernisation throughout, presenting an excellent refurbishment opportunity for a buyer seeking to add value. Practical positives already in place include a recently fitted boiler, mains gas central heating and a fitted kitchen with some integrated appliances. Service charge is approximately £2,400 per year and the lease has 89 years remaining — important factors to consider for future mortgage or resale plans.
Located close to cafés, pubs and local amenities, the apartment is under two miles from Bedford station with regular trains to London under an hour. Nearby schooling options include several well-regarded independent and state schools. Council tax is low (Band B) and the area records very low crime and fast broadband, making the flat practical for commuting or rental income once updated.
This home suits a first-time buyer or small household prepared to invest in cosmetic and system upgrades to unlock the property’s period charm and space. Be aware of the renovation need and lease length when assessing costs and financing.
