A practical two-bedroom first-floor flat in a well-kept modern development, offered with a share of the freehold. The living room benefits from a full-height window that floods the room with light, while the kitchen has been recently replaced and includes some integrated appliances. Two double bedrooms, an updated bathroom with shower-over-bath and entrance hall storage make the layout sensible for everyday living. An allocated off-street parking space, communal bike/bin stores and pleasant communal gardens add to the convenience.
This apartment will suit first-time buyers or buy-to-let purchasers looking for a straightforward, low-maintenance home close to Bedford town centre and the mainline station. Gas central heating, double glazing and a C energy rating are practical positives for running costs, and local amenities, parks and cafes are within easy walking distance.
A material drawback is the remaining lease length: 77 years. This is likely to restrict mortgage availability unless the lease is extended prior to sale, and buyers should seek lender/survey advice. The property also carries an annual service charge of about £1,152. The surrounding area has mixed indicators of deprivation, so buyers should consider longer-term local market and letting prospects.
