Set on the top floor of a modern development in Shefford, this chain-free one-bedroom apartment offers a compact, low-maintenance home or a straightforward rental opportunity. The open-plan living area and modern fitted kitchen create an efficient living space, while a Juliette balcony brings light and views over the rear communal gardens. The bedroom is a generous double with plantation shutters and built-in storage; the bathroom has a contemporary suite with a power shower over the bath.
Practical extras include gas central heating, double glazing, two internal storage cupboards, video entry, and an allocated underground parking space. The roof has recently been refitted, reducing immediate external maintenance concerns. At 435 sq ft the apartment is small but well laid out, appealing to first-time buyers, downsizers or buy-to-let investors; the property currently shows a net yield of 5.4% for investors.
Buyers should note material facts plainly: the tenure is leasehold with 107 years remaining and an average ground rent of £300. The development is in an area recorded as having high crime, which may affect resale or lettability for some purchasers. Council tax is very cheap and local amenities — shops, supermarket and schools — are within easy walking distance, making day-to-day living convenient.
Overall, this is a practical, modern apartment that will suit someone seeking a manageable home or a ready-made income-producing asset. The compact footprint and local crime levels are important considerations, but the recent roof work, allocated parking and strong local amenities support both a comfortable first home or a clear investor case.
