This top-floor one-bedroom apartment in Bedford offers a compact, well-presented home or a ready-made rental asset. Recently renovated with new boiler and double glazing, it delivers low immediate running costs and a fresh interior that will appeal to first-time buyers and investors alike.
The layout includes a large living room, a generous double bedroom and a separate kitchen—an adaptable floorplan for comfortable living or tenant demand. A long lease (163 years remaining) and an option to purchase the freehold provide long-term security and future control for owners.
Practical considerations are clear: the property is leasehold with a service charge of £549 (below average) and sits on the top floor, which may affect accessibility for some buyers. The flat is sold with a tenant in situ, providing immediate rental income but limiting vacant possession for owner-occupiers.
Location is a strength. The flat is within walking distance of Bedford town centre and the mainline station with direct trains to London, and local amenities and green spaces are close by. The neighbourhood shows very low crime but is recorded as a very deprived area overall—an important context for buyers and investors when assessing long-term prospects.
