Description

This stunning semi-detached property, built within the last two years, offers a stylish and contemporary interior with generous living space throughout. The home features three well-proportioned bedrooms, a modern kitchen and living area, and a beautifully maintained private rear garden complete with a patio, pergola and an outdoor bar, ideal for outdoor dining and relaxing. Additional highlights include off-road parking for two cars and a peaceful, well-connected location close to local amenities.

Shortstown is a popular and well-connected area just south of Bedford, offering a welcoming community feel with convenient access to local shops, parks, schools, and everyday amenities. Its close proximity to Bedford town centre provides easy links to transport services, including mainline trains to London, while nearby road routes such as the A421 make commuting simple. With a blend of modern developments and open green spaces, Shortstown is a sought-after location for families and professionals alike.

If you move in by the 9th of January 2026, then you will have 2 weeks off your first months rent!

This property is available with a Deposit Free option which means that instead of paying a traditional five weeks security deposit, you pay a fee of 28% of the first months rent + VAT (subject to a minimum of £120 + VAT) to become a member of a deposit free renting scheme which significantly reduces the up-front costs. This fee is non-refundable and is not a deposit so cannot be used towards covering the cost of any future damage.
