Summary - 61 CROWE ROAD BEDFORD MK40 4FY
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Comfortable commuter-flat within walking distance of Bedford station.
No onward chain — immediate completion possible
This no-chain, third-floor apartment offers an accessible entry into Bedford’s commuter market. At around a 10–15 minute walk from Bedford train station, the flat suits first-time buyers seeking straightforward links to London and local amenities. The layout includes a spacious living/dining room, two well-proportioned bedrooms and a fitted kitchen with space for appliances.
Practical features include allocated off-street parking, a secure communal entrance with an intercom, double glazing and electric heating. The lease is long (125 years from January 2005), making mortgage options more straightforward than shorter-lease alternatives. Service charges and ground rent are notable: the service charge is stated as approximately £2,100 and ground rent about £150 per year.
The building and flat present a modern, neutral finish that needs only minor cosmetic updating to personalise. The property sits in an area described as deprived with above-average crime levels, which will matter to some buyers and could affect rental yield or resale values. Overall, this is a sensible, low-maintenance option for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors prioritising location and ease of access over private outdoor space.
