Light, low‑maintenance two-bedroom maisonette set in a private close in central Shefford, ideal for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor. The home occupies the top floor with its own front door and one allocated off-street parking space. The open-plan lounge/diner and modernised bathroom give a contemporary feel, while long leasehold terms remove immediate tenure risk.
Inside, the kitchen is fitted and practical with an electric oven, induction hob and plumbing for a washing machine. Both bedrooms are carpeted; the master benefits from dual-aspect windows and freestanding storage, while bedroom two has built-in cupboards. An efficient gas boiler and double glazing (installed post‑2002) keep running costs reasonable; EPC rating C.
Practical drawbacks are straightforward: this is a leasehold property (900+ years remaining, peppercorn ground rent) with no external garden and only one parking space. Broadband speeds in the area are slow and local crime is above average — factors to weigh for tenants or owner-occupiers. Overall, it offers a sensible, low‑maintenance starter home or an easily managed rental in a town centre location with good schools and local amenities nearby.
