This four-bedroom, two-bathroom property located on Castle Road in Bedford is presented for sale at £500,000. The location is a key strength; Castle Road is highly regarded for its proximity to excellent schools such as Castle Newnham School (rated ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted), and its proximity to Bedford town centre and train station provide convenience and accessibility. Nearby listings reflect similar pricing for houses of comparable size, though many are missing key data to allow for precise comparison. The property itself, from the images provided, seems well-maintained but could benefit from some modernising, and the rear yard, while usable, is rather small. The lack of plot size data provided for this property compared with that of others, hampers an accurate assessment of its relative value. Overall, while the location and potential value are attractive, the relatively small garden and need for some potential modernisation are factors to consider before purchasing. A comprehensive survey would assist in confirming overall condition and structural integrity. Interested buyers should also factor in the relatively small plot size in their decision-making process, especially in comparison to some other similarly priced properties on Castle Road, which are frequently larger and possess more features.
Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
