A compact two-bedroom mid-terrace offering an affordable entry to Bedford in a popular Queens Park location. The house has two reception rooms, a larger-than-average shower room, and a practical kitchen; double glazing and gas central heating are already in place. The property sits 0.7 miles from the mainline station and within easy walking distance of shops, parks and several well-regarded primary and secondary schools.
Internally the layout is traditional and straightforward, with a bright front living room and a rear dining room that connects to the kitchen and garden. Both first-floor bedrooms are doubles and one includes built-in storage. The long rear plot mixes lawn, decking and paving and could be used immediately or improved to create a more usable outdoor space.
Buyers should note this is an early-20th-century solid-brick terrace likely lacking wall insulation and presented in basic, somewhat dated condition. The house would benefit from cosmetic modernisation and targeted energy upgrades to reduce running costs. The local area is classified as deprived with average crime levels; transport, shops and community amenities are strong positives for everyday convenience.
This home suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a centrally located, affordable property with scope to add value. With straightforward layout and good local links, modest upgrades and insulation work would significantly improve comfort and resale potential.
