Summary - FLAT 12, GLEBE HOUSE, 12, ST. ANDREWS ROAD, BEDFORD MK40 2LJ
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Light-filled town-centre flat near Bedford Park and transport links.
Large triple-aspect lounge/diner with far-reaching views
This second-floor, two-bedroom apartment in Glebe House offers spacious, well-lit accommodation across an 810 sq ft layout. The large triple-aspect lounge/diner and a south-facing bay in the master bedroom flood the home with light, while a fitted kitchen with granite work surfaces and a stylish family bathroom give a contemporary feel. Double glazing is installed throughout.
Practical features include an allocated off-street parking space, communal garden, intercom entry and a shared bicycle shed. The property is chain free and has a long lease (160 years remaining), making it straightforward to purchase. Service charges are modest at £920.08 per year; ground rent is a peppercorn.
Considerations: heating is by Economy 10 electric storage heaters, so energy costs may be higher than gas-heated homes. The building sits in a mixed city neighbourhood with a cosmopolitan, student-populated character and the wider area shows higher deprivation indicators — buyers seeking quiet suburban streets should be aware. The flat is leasehold rather than freehold, though the long lease reduces short-term risk.
Location is a strong asset: direct access to Bedford’s large Victorian park, nearby schools (including Bedford School and Goldington Academy), shops and leisure facilities, and easy routes to the mainline station. This flat suits first-time buyers or investors looking for a well-proportioned town-centre two-bed with good natural light and straightforward running costs.
