This two-bedroom first-floor apartment combines period character with practical modern living. High ceilings and sash-style windows create bright, airy rooms across roughly 524 sqft, while built-in wardrobes and a contemporary shower room add everyday convenience. The long lease (around 121 years) and included permit off-street parking are strong ownership advantages for buyers seeking straightforward commute access — Bedford station is approximately 0.6 miles away.
The location places you close to Bedford town centre amenities, eateries, and the riverside development. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal excellent, supporting home working. Service charge is quoted at 765 (below average) and council tax is described as cheap, which helps running costs.
Important negatives are clear: the wider area records very high crime and high deprivation levels, which will concern some buyers. The property is small in overall size and may suit buyers seeking a compact two-bedroom rather than generous living space. Note the listing references period features while construction is also recorded as 2020, suggesting a recent conversion of a period building — buyers should confirm structural and finish details at viewing and by reviewing the management/condominium papers.
