Approached past the historic, Grade I-listed St Mary's church building in Cardington Road, a road with its fair share of architecturally important buildings, including Bedford Girls' School, the Crescent is tucked into the far corner of Duckmill Lane, with no through traffic. Not only do you have a peaceful, birds-eye view from your balcony of historic buildings, the river and one of the finest embankments in the country, not to mention of beautiful trees and greenery, every facility you could wish for is close by.
Pubs, parks, cinemas, coffee shops, and eateries of every persuasion are within walking distance. As are schools, shops, supermarkets, surgery, dentist and hospital. There's quite a choice of sports clubs, gyms and pools

Close to where John Bunyan was baptised in the river by John Gifford at what was then called "The Ducking Place", your new apartment looks across Bunyan's "River of the Way of Life" to historic and beautiful landmarks captured by the great English Romantic landscape painter J.M.W. Turner in his work entitled simply "Bedford". The painting is quite something. Having the scene outside your bedroom and sitting room windows every day is something else.
