A substantial freehold light-industrial estate on Harrowden Road, offered for sale by auction. The site extends to approximately 2,437.32 sq m (26,235 sq ft) on about 0.69 ha (1.7 acres) with low site coverage and a large central yard, multiple warehouse/industrial units, yard loading and on-site parking. The estate is fully let, producing current rent of £168,390 pa, rising to £206,020 pa from 6 July 2026.
The location sits immediately south of Jubilee Park and about 1.5 miles from Bedford town centre, with good road links toward the M1 and A1. Bedford is earmarked for major investment, including the proposed Universal Studios development, which could strengthen long-term occupational demand or redevelopment values in the area.
The lot includes an undeveloped parcel of roughly 0.08 ha (0.2 acres) abutting recent housing and may be suitable for residential or industrial redevelopment, subject to planning consent. All leases are outside the protection of the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954, improving reversion flexibility for a buyer prepared to plan future change of use.
Practical considerations: VAT is applicable to this lot and the sale is by auction on 30 October 2025. EPC ratings vary across the estate (Flat E, Unit 1 D, another unit C). No internal condition schedule is provided; purchasers should allow for estate-level maintenance or refurbishment and carry out surveys before bidding.
