Set on the second floor in central Bedford, this compact two-bedroom apartment offers a straightforward, chain-free purchase for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The open-plan living area opens onto a small balcony with town-centre views, creating a light, sociable space for everyday living.
The master bedroom includes an en-suite and fitted wardrobes; a second bedroom and separate bathroom complete the accommodation. The building provides an allocated parking space and communal access, useful in a central location where street parking can be limited.
Practical costs and constraints are important here: the property is leasehold with about 103 years remaining, a service charge averaging £3,000 pa and a £250 ground rent. Heating is by electric underfloor systems and glazing dates from before 2002.
Buyers should note the flat is small at around 493 sq ft and sits in a part of town with higher crime levels and greater area deprivation. For investors, the town-centre location and chain-free sale offer quick-let potential; for first-time buyers, this is an affordable, low-maintenance urban base but with notable ongoing charges and limited space.
