We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
2 BEDROOM GROUND FLOOR APARTMENT | PRIVATE ENTRANCE | PERIOD FEATURES | ALLOCATED PARKING | WALKING DISTANCE TO TOWN CENTRE & MAINLINE STATION Positioned along the sought-after, tree-lined Crescent, this attractive two bedroom ground floor apartment forms part of a converted Georgian townhouse and combines the character and proportions of a period property with the convenience of modern living.
A particularly appealing feature is the apartment's own private entrance, providing a sense of independence and privacy.
Internally, the property retains a number of charming period details, including impressive high ceilings, moulded cornicing, sash windows, exposed floorboards and a period fireplace, creating a characterful backdrop to the accommodation.
The generously proportioned living space is arranged as an open-plan lounge/dining room, offering a versatile area for both relaxing and entertaining.
The separate modern kitchen is fitted with high-gloss units and integrated appliances, while the bathroom is finished with a contemporary white suite.
The accommodation comprises two bedrooms, together with the living/dining space, kitchen and bathroom. Heating is provided by a gas-fired central heating system with radiators.
Externally, the property benefits from an allocated parking space for one vehicle, situated within the rear courtyard – a valuable addition given the property's highly convenient town-centre location.
The property is currently tenanted but is being offered for sale with vacant possession upon completion, making this an appealing opportunity for both owner-occupiers and buyers seeking a well-positioned Bedford property.
LOCATION: Location is undoubtedly one of Crescent Court's key attractions, with Bedford town centre and Bedford mainline railway station both approximately a five-minute walk away.
This places an excellent range of shops, restaurants, bars and everyday amenities within easy reach, whilst the railway station provides regular services towards London and other destinations.
