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
Description Beautifully presented throughout, this exceptional ground floor studio apartment occupies a prime position on the ever-popular Goldington Avenue and offers an ideal opportunity for first-time buyers, downsizers or investors seeking a home that is ready to move straight into.
Having undergone an extensive programme of refurbishment in 2022, the property combines modern finishes with practical upgrades, creating a stylish and low-maintenance home in a highly convenient location.
The accommodation begins with a welcoming entrance hall leading through to a bright and spacious living/bedroom area, where a charming bay window fills the room with natural light.
The original wooden flooring has been professionally sanded and varnished, while bespoke plantation shutters add both character and privacy, creating an attractive and comfortable living space.
The separate kitchen was completely replaced in 2022 and is fitted with a contemporary range of units, complemented by quality work surfaces and integrated Beko appliances, providing a modern and practical environment for everyday living.
The bathroom was also fully renewed as part of the refurbishment and now features a stylish suite with modern tiling and an extractor fan.
Additional improvements completed during the renovation include a full electrical rewire with a new consumer unit, new tiled flooring, replacement radiators throughout, replastering where required, full redecoration, and a new rear entrance door.
The boiler has also been serviced this year, offering further peace of mind to prospective purchasers.
Outside, residents can enjoy a well-maintained communal garden, providing a pleasant outdoor space to relax, while the property also benefits from allocated parking for added convenience.
Location Goldington Avenue is one of Bedford's most desirable residential locations, offering excellent access to Bedford town centre, a wide range of local shops and amenities, picturesque riverside walks, and Bedford's mainline railway station, providing fast and direct services to London St Pancras.
