Summary - 84 HASTINGS ROAD KEMPSTON BEDFORD MK42 7HT
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Starter home near schools and transport, needs cosmetic updating.
Chain free upper-floor two-bedroom apartment
This chain-free two-bedroom upper-floor apartment offers an affordable entry into Kempston with practical living space and low running costs. The lounge/diner is notably generous for the overall size, and mains gas heating plus double glazing (install date unknown) provide everyday comfort. Broadband speeds are fast and council tax is very cheap, useful for first-time buyers on a budget.
The flat requires cosmetic updating: the kitchen dates from the 1980s with basic cabinetry and exposed appliances, and the overall property is small. The building dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s and presents as a pragmatic brick apartment block; communal outdoor space is minimal. Buyers should allow for possible leasehold costs (lease c.88 years remaining) and for standard checks on services, measurements and appliances.
Location offers practical benefits — nearby primary and secondary schools, local shops and fast-food amenities, and straightforward commuter links into Bedford. However the neighbourhood shows higher crime and area deprivation indicators, which may influence choice and resale considerations. A viewing is advised so buyers can assess condition and potential improvements in person.
