Summary - 67 ALBURGH CLOSE BEDFORD MK42 0HG
1 bed 1 bath Maisonette
Chain-free, commuter-friendly one-bed with renovation potential and low council tax.
Chain-free 1st-floor maisonette with garden access
A chain-free, first-floor maisonette in Alburgh Close offering straightforward accommodation and commuter convenience. The layout includes a living room, fitted kitchen, double bedroom and bathroom with shower over bath — practical for a single occupant or couple.
The property is leasehold with 77 years and 3 months remaining; this is an important consideration for mortgage and resale. The building dates from the 1970s and the description and images indicate cosmetic updating is needed, presenting a clear opportunity to add value through renovation. There is a garden and open green space nearby for outdoor use.
Location is a genuine asset: quick access to the A421 and Bedford railway station, nearby shops, playgrounds and leisure facilities. Local schools include good-rated state primaries and Bedford Academy, plus independent options. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, supporting home working.
Practical drawbacks are factual: the lease length will require investigation, the area records above-average crime (so security and insurance checks advised), and the flat would benefit from modernization. For investors, the property’s size and location suit buy-to-let demand; first-time buyers will appreciate the low council tax and chain-free sale but should factor in renovation costs and lease considerations.
