This well-presented second-floor apartment offers an approachable entry into Bedford’s property market. The bay-fronted living room fills the home with natural light, and a modern fitted kitchen and two double bedrooms make this flat move-in-ready. Recent double glazing (2023) and a gas combi boiler reduce immediate maintenance needs.
Practical ownership perks include an allocated off-street parking space, a share of freehold and a long lease (approximately 996 years remaining). The development has tidy communal gardens and shared bike/bin storage; the building exterior appears in good decorative order, suggesting low imminent exterior upkeep.
Buyers should note an annual service charge of about £1,152 and a small ground rent (£35). The wider area is mixed — close to Victorian Park and town amenities but recorded as more deprived, with nearby student neighbourhoods and average local crime levels. Communal living means management standards and future service charges will affect running costs.
At around 665 sq ft, the apartment is an average-sized home suited to first-time buyers or investors seeking a low-fuss flat close to transport, schools and green space. Its ready condition and long lease offer straightforward potential for immediate occupation or rental.
