This six-bedroom property on Ashburnham Road in Bedford presents a mixed bag of advantages and disadvantages. Its location is a strong selling point; situated near Bedford Train Station and the town centre, it offers easy access to transport links and local amenities. The proximity to several schools, including Priory Primary School (rated Outstanding), adds to its appeal for families. However, the property’s condition is a significant factor to consider. The provided photographs reveal a need for modernisation and renovation. Carpets are worn, walls require attention, and both bathrooms and the kitchen appear dated. The small, somewhat unkempt garden provides some outdoor space, but is unlikely to be a significant draw for many buyers. The property’s size (1413 sq ft) is a positive aspect. The lack of plot size data makes a definitive conclusion on value challenging. Considering that this could be a potential HMO (House of Multiple Occupancy) with its six bedrooms and proximity to Bedford town center and the train station would be appealing to investors and renters alike. However, the overall condition could impact return on investment. An accurate appraisal would require a detailed survey and consideration of renovation costs. Given the price, the potential for a successful investment will depend entirely on the extent of the renovations and prevailing market conditions for similar property in Bedford.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
