Summary - Flat 14 St. Bedes, 14, Conduit Road, BEDFORD MK40 1FB
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Two-bedroom apartment with balcony and wide range of on-site communal amenities.
75% shared ownership; Orbit retains 25% equity
Designed for over-55s, this immaculately presented ground-floor apartment offers practical, low-effort living with useful communal facilities. The lounge opens onto a private patio-style balcony and the fitted kitchen includes room for a dishwasher. A main double bedroom with built-in wardrobe, second bedroom and a level-access wet room make daily life straightforward and accessible.
Sold as a 75% shared ownership share (Orbit Housing retains 25%), the purchase comes with 112 years remaining on the lease and no onward chain, speeding up move-in. The monthly charge of £515 covers rent, service, water, heating, care and ground rent — convenient but a material running cost to factor into affordability.
St Bede’s is a large, purpose-built retirement scheme with on-site facilities including restaurant, lounge, cinema, gym, laundry and a garden for growing and social activities. The building is lift-served and double-glazed with gas central heating, and the apartment is presented in excellent condition throughout.
Important practical points: the scheme sits within a very deprived area with a very high local crime rate, which may affect long-term desirability and resale. Shared-ownership purchase is subject to Orbit Housing eligibility and retained equity, and the service charge is an ongoing commitment that includes communal services and care.
