Set on a quiet cul-de-sac in Shortstown, this well-presented two-bedroom end-terrace is aimed at first-time buyers seeking an affordable, low-maintenance starter home. The layout is traditional and bright, with a lounge/diner, fitted kitchen, two double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The home benefits from double glazing, a gas boiler with radiators, and fast broadband — practical features for modern daily life.
Outside there’s an enclosed rear garden and allocated off-street parking directly to the front — useful for a young family or commuter. The property sits in a small plot (approximately 593 sqft internal), so internal space is modest; the compact footprint suits buyers prioritising location and running costs over room sizes. Council tax is low and the tenure is freehold, removing ongoing leasehold costs.
Built around the late 1990s/early 2000s, the house is largely move-in ready and presented neutrally throughout. That said, it’s small and has a single bathroom, which may feel limiting for some buyers. Measurements are provided for guidance only; buyers should verify room sizes and check appliance and service conditions during viewing and survey.
Local amenities include shops, a post office, playground and good commuter links via the A421/M1 corridor. Nearby schooling includes Shortstown Primary (Good) and Bedford Academy (Good), making the location practical for families starting out. Overall, this property is a straightforward, well-connected entry point onto the housing ladder with reasonable running costs and scope to personalise interiors over time.
