1 bedroom flat for sale
Step into a piece of history with this rarely available, part-furnished one-bedroom apartment, set within the beautiful and iconic Shorts Building, a landmark Palladian masterpiece dating back to 1917 and lovingly restored as part of an exclusive Bellway development.
Positioned on the second floor, this stunning apartment perfectly blends period charm with modern living. From the moment you enter the lavish communal hallway and sweeping staircase, the grandeur of the building is unmistakable. Inside, the apartment offers spacious and well-designed accommodation, featuring a welcoming entrance hall, a bright open-plan living and kitchen area complete with fitted appliances, a generously sized double bedroom with wardrobes, and a stylish, well-presented bathroom.
Character features such as impressive high ceilings enhance the sense of space and light, while modern touches including code/smartphone entry, beautifully landscaped communal gardens, and an allocated parking space ensure comfort and convenience.
The location is equally appealing. Local amenities including a Tesco Express, café, and traditional fish and chip shop are just moments away, along with a nearby primary school and scenic countryside walks in New Cardington. Bedford town centre lies only 3 miles away, and excellent road links via the A421 bypass provide easy access to the A1 and M1, making this an ideal base for commuters.
Offered for sale with no onward chain, and positioned just a stone’s throw from shops, schools, and countryside, this exceptional apartment represents a fantastic investment opportunity or a stylish first home — all within a truly unique historic setting.
