Description

Goodacres Bedford are pleased to offer for sale this charming ground floor leasehold maisonette, set within the highly sought-after Thurleigh Conservation Area. Forming part of a former chapel dating back to 1888, the building was carefully converted into modern apartments in 2020, successfully blending characterful features with contemporary living.

The apartment enjoys a bright and welcoming open-plan kitchen and living area, enhanced by large sash-style windows that allow plenty of natural light to flow through the space. The modern kitchen is fitted with high-quality units, integrated appliances, and stylish fittings, making it ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The property further benefits from underfloor heating throughout, adding comfort and a clean, uncluttered finish.

The spacious double bedroom features a distinctive arched window, a standout reminder of the building's original character. A modern shower room, finished with attractive contemporary fittings, completes the accommodation.

Externally, residents benefit from off-road parking, shared with other occupants of The Old Chapel. Positioned opposite the Thurleigh village garden, with direct access, the property enjoys a peaceful outlook in the heart of this popular village.

The property is offered on a leasehold basis with approximately 119 years remaining. The service charge is £702 per annum, and the ground rent is £120 per annum.

With its blend of period charm, modern features, underfloor heating, and a desirable village location, this maisonette presents an excellent opportunity for first-time buyers, downsizers, or investors. Early viewing is highly recommended.
