This recently redecorated three-bedroom flat in Leigh Court offers a practical, low-maintenance home close to Bedford town centre and transport links. The accommodation includes a large bay-fronted lounge/diner, a fitted kitchen and two double bedrooms, with a third room suitable as a bedroom or home office. A single garage and long lease (965 years) add tangible ownership benefits.
The building is a modern development within a short walk (0.5 miles) of Bedford mainline station and local amenities, making it ideal for first-time buyers seeking commuter convenience or investors targeting steady rental demand. Electric storage heating and double glazing keep the running layout simple, and the property has been freshly carpeted and painted throughout.
Buyers should note the property sits in a higher-crime, deprived local area and is in a cosmopolitan student neighbourhood — factors that may affect amenity perception and rental mix. The apartment is leasehold with an annual service charge of approximately £1,831 (includes ground rent), and heating is provided by electric storage heaters rather than gas. Chain-free sale and long lease provide straightforward transaction potential.
