About this home

This well-located ground-floor apartment forms part of a modern development and benefits from its own private terrace, enjoying pleasant riverside views. The property is offered with no onward chain, allowing for a potentially quick completion.

The accommodation comprises a bright open-plan kitchen and living room, two bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite shower room, together with a further family bathroom.

The property could make an ideal first-time purchase or investment opportunity, particularly with the anticipated arrival of Universal Studios to Bedfordshire.

Further benefits include double glazing, electric heating and one allocated parking space. The development is surrounded by well-maintained communal grounds and provides immediate access to attractive riverside walks.

Britannia House is conveniently situated opposite Bedford’s South Wing Hospital and is within walking distance of Bedford town centre, with its range of shops, restaurants and other amenities. The mainline railway station is also easily accessible.

The property is leasehold, with a 999-year lease commencing on 31 May 2006. The current service charge is approximately £2,800 per annum, which includes water rates, ground rent, reserve fund contribution and buildings insurance. These details should be verified by your legal advisor.
