A compact, ground-floor retail unit positioned on St. Loyes Street, close to Bedford Bus Station and central amenities. The modern glass-fronted shop offers a bright, customer-facing frontage and a practical open-plan layout that suits small retail, service, or office operators.
The space includes a rear kitchenette and WC, making it immediately usable without major conversion. High pedestrian footfall and proximity to a wide range of national and independent occupiers give this unit strong catchment for quick-turnover retail or convenience-led businesses.
Important considerations: the property is leasehold, located in a very deprived neighbourhood with very high crime levels, and benefits from only very slow broadband. These factors will influence both occupier choice and rental value, and should be weighed by occupiers or investors exploring security measures and connectivity solutions.
For investors or owner-occupiers seeking a small, well-located town-centre presence, this unit offers straightforward occupation and short-term lettability potential. It suits businesses that prioritise footfall and street visibility over large floorplates, or landlords targeting local retail demand with modest capital outlay.
