A compact two-bedroom first-floor flat offered chain-free, ideal for a first-time buyer or investor seeking a commuter base. The property sits within easy walking distance of the train station and Bedford town centre, with local shops and amenities close by.
The living room is bright with two front windows and an open arch to the kitchen; both bedrooms face the rear. The home is heated by electric storage heaters and benefits from double glazing and one allocated off-street parking space. The total floor area is small (approx. 474 sq ft), so it will suit buyers needing modest accommodation or a rental let.
Practical points: the flat is leasehold (1/8 share of freehold) with a service charge of £950. The block was built in the 1980s and appears generally modern in style, but buyers should note the property will likely need updating and should commission their own electrical/heating and structural checks. The surrounding area has high crime rates and higher deprivation, which will be a factor for some buyers and investors.
Overall this is a straightforward, chain-free purchase for someone prioritising location and commuting convenience over internal space or high-spec finishes. Clear potential for modest refurbishment to improve comfort and rental appeal, but plan for upgrades to the heating and possible modernisation throughout.
