Set on the first floor of a well-maintained modern block on The Embankment, this two-bedroom apartment offers direct riverside views, a south-facing lounge/diner and lift access for easy arrival. Large windows and Juliet balconies flood the principal room with sunlight; the fitted kitchen and shower room suit a low-maintenance lifestyle. Residents benefit from secure entry, communal gardens and a private right of access to the paddock between The Embankment and Waterloo Road.
Practical features include double glazing, gas central heating, and a garage in a rear block plus nearby permit parking. The setting is convenient for riverside cafes, a gastro pub and Bedford town centre, with fast rail links to London — a strong draw for downsizers or buyers seeking a peaceful city-edge base.
Buyers should note a material inconsistency in the provided lease information. Documents reference both a very long 999-year lease from 1985 and a much shorter remaining term (figures of 59 years and 964 years are both present in the data). This discrepancy could affect mortgage availability — some lenders may refuse to lend without clarified lease details. The annual service charge is £2,752 and there is a peppercorn ground rent; lease and freehold share details must be verified by your solicitor.
Overall, this apartment offers comfortable, well-presented accommodation in an attractive riverside location with useful communal amenities. It will particularly suit those looking to downsize or relocate to a low-upkeep, well-connected city-edge home, provided lease terms are confirmed and acceptable to any mortgage lender.
