This chain-free split-level apartment in the Poets area of Bedford offers well-proportioned living across 532 sq ft with a private rear garden. The main bedroom opens directly onto the enclosed garden while a versatile basement-level room provides additional living, home-office or rental potential. High ceilings and period features remain evident in the building’s Victorian exterior and hallway.
Practicalities are straightforward: double glazing was installed post-2002, and the property benefits from excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for commuters or home workers. Parking is on-street with a controlled permit zone nearby; the property is a short walk from Bedford town centre, station connections and local shops.
Buyers should note material facts: the flat is leasehold, heated by electric storage heaters and the building’s solid brick walls are assumed to have no cavity insulation. The rear garden has a right of way for a fire escape serving upper apartments. The wider area scores higher for private renting and is classified as deprived with relatively high local crime — factors to consider for families and some investors.
Overall this apartment suits first-time buyers or investors seeking a well-located, characterful home with immediate occupation potential and scope for cosmetic improvement or conversion of the lower room to increase rental value.
