Set in the heart of Queens Park, this chain-free, three-bedroom mid-terrace offers clear potential for a buyer willing to invest in updating. The property has a large bay-fronted lounge/diner, fitted kitchen, ground-floor shower room and three first-floor bedrooms across approximately 859 sq ft. It’s freehold with double glazing and gas central heating already in place.
The house requires renovation: cosmetic updating throughout, garden landscaping and likely energy-efficiency improvements (solid brick walls with no known insulation). These works present an opportunity to increase comfort and value, particularly given the short walk to the mainline station and local shops. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and nearby schools have good Ofsted ratings.
Be candid about the location: the neighbourhood is classified as deprived and crime rates are high, which may affect resale and rental appeal. The plot is small and the rear garden is mainly paved, so expect limited outdoor space and some landscaping costs. Council tax is low, which helps running costs during refurbishment.
Suitable for a hands-on first buyer or investor prepared to carry out improvements, this property offers an affordable entry into Bedford with practical commuter links to London and easy access to local amenities and places of worship.
