This second-floor two-bedroom apartment sits in the heart of Bedford town centre, a short walk from shops and the train station. The flat features a large bay-fronted living room, a modern fitted kitchen and a generous master bedroom with built-in wardrobe — practical living space for a first home or a rental let.
Practical benefits include an allocated off-street parking space, long lease (c.953 years) and communal bike and bin storage. The service charge is £1,832 per annum; the property is leasehold and offered chain free, so completion can be straightforward.
Be aware of a few material points: heating is by electric storage heaters and windows are secondary glazed, which can affect running costs and comfort. The neighbourhood is classified as a cosmopolitan student area within a constrained and relatively deprived wider area, and local crime levels are reported as high; this will be relevant for owner-occupiers and investors assessing rental demand or security needs.
For buyers seeking town-centre convenience and commuter links, this apartment provides a sensible, well-sized footprint (c.668 sq ft) with scope to add personal improvements. Early viewing is recommended to judge noise, finish and storage first-hand.
