About this property

This charming one-bedroom ground floor apartment forms part of an attractive Victorian conversion on the highly regarded St Michaels Road, a sought-after location on the edge of Bedford's renowned Castle Quarter and within easy reach of the town centre, railway station and the beautiful open spaces of Bedford Park. The park offers mature landscaped grounds, sporting facilities, tennis courts and pleasant walks, making it one of Bedford's most desirable recreational amenities.

The apartment is accessed via the property's original front entrance, leading into an impressive communal hallway showcasing original Victorian floor tiling, providing a wonderful first impression and a reminder of the building's characterful heritage.

The accommodation includes a spacious living room featuring a double glazed sash-style bay window to the front aspect, creating a bright and welcoming living space. The generous double bedroom overlooks the rear and benefits from French doors, while both principal rooms retain attractive period features including picture rails and decorative cornicing. The kitchen is fitted with a range of units and incorporates a built-in oven and hob, whilst a rear lobby provides access to the bathroom.

Externally, residents enjoy the use of communal gardens. A particularly rare and valuable feature is the inclusion of a single garage, situated to the rear of the property with vehicular access from St George's Road, providing secure parking or additional storage.

Offered for sale with vacant possession and no upper chain, this characterful apartment presents an excellent opportunity for first-time buyers, downsizers or investors seeking a well-located home with period charm, gas to radiator central heating and the added benefit of a garage.
