City-centre two-bed with balcony, gated parking and long lease — ideal first home or investment..
Two-bedroom third-floor apartment, approx. 636 sqft
A practical two-bedroom third-floor apartment in central Bedford, offering an uncomplicated layout and useful extras for first-time buyers. The 636 sqft flat includes a master bedroom with en-suite, a second bedroom, and an open-plan living/dining area that leads onto a balcony said to overlook the Bedford River — a pleasant spot for morning coffee.
The building provides gated, allocated off-street parking and fitted wardrobes in the bedrooms, adding daily convenience. A 104-year lease gives long-term security for owner-occupiers, while fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit remote working and connected lifestyles.
Buyers should note material running costs: an average service charge of around £2,800pa and a small ground rent (£250pa). The surrounding area is urban with higher crime levels and local deprivation indicators, so sensible security and community considerations are important. Overall, this is a city-centre starter home with commuter links and immediate amenity access, best suited to first-time buyers or investors seeking central rental demand.
