Summary - 73 ASHBURNHAM ROAD BEDFORD MK40 1EA
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Chain-free commuter flat requiring refurbishment, suited to cash buyers or investors.
Opposite Bedford station — 40-minute service to London St Pancras
Set directly opposite Bedford station, this two-bedroom first-floor flat offers clear commuter appeal with a 40-minute service to London St Pancras. The building retains Victorian character including high ceilings and a feature fireplace, and the sale is chain-free with a share of freehold.
The property requires a full refurbishment and is being sold with just 56 years remaining on the lease — a material issue that will likely prevent most mortgage lenders from lending. The flat is therefore best suited to cash buyers or experienced investors able to manage lease extension costs and renovation work. Service charge is approximately £1,666 per year; there is no ground rent.
Practical features include communal off-street parking (first-come, first-served), a communal rear garden, double glazing, mains gas central heating and an affordable council tax band. Note the location is in a very deprived area with a very high crime rate, which will affect rental demand and resale values; use caution when assessing investment returns.
This is a classic fixer-upper opportunity close to shops, schools and transport links. For a buyer prepared to invest in refurbishment and lease extension, the flat offers a centrally located, characterful property with immediate commuter access and redevelopment potential.
