A bright, south-facing two-bedroom retirement apartment on the second floor of a modern scheme close to Bedford town centre. The apartment benefits from full-height windows, a paved balcony, lift access and a level-access wet room fitted with grab rails — practical features for independent over-55 living.
The development is purpose-built for retirement living and includes extensive communal facilities: restaurant, coffee lounge, cinema, gym, hobby rooms, assisted bathing/spa, guest apartment and communal gardens including a sensory and activity garden. The property is offered for 75% shared ownership, is chain-free and has double glazing and central heating.
Buyers should note this is leasehold shared ownership for the over-55s with a service charge (£241.29) and care charge (£64.40), plus modest monthly utilities and water contributions. The neighbourhood is urban with excellent mobile and fast broadband, but the area records very high crime levels and is classified as very deprived, which may affect some buyers’ priorities.
This apartment suits a downsizer seeking community amenities and manageable accommodation, or someone wanting accessible, low-maintenance living close to town. The scheme’s communal life and on-site services add convenience but involve ongoing charges and eligibility criteria for purchase.
