About
The property comprises an attractive mixed-use investment arranged over ground, first and second floors. At ground floor level, the building provides two self-contained commercial retail units both let on new leases dated 2025 and both benefiting from modern glazed shop frontages that offer excellent visibility and prominence onto Bedford High Street.
Above, and accessed independently, is a well-established self-contained three-bedroom split-level apartment arranged over the upper floors. The residential accommodation provides spacious living accommodation and benefits from its own dedicated access, creating a clear separation between the commercial and residential elements.
The property offers an attractive blend of retail and residential income streams within a prime town centre location, making it suitable for investors seeking a diversified mixed-use asset with established occupiers and long-term income potential.
Location
70 High Street occupies a prominent and highly visible position within Bedford town centre, fronting the town's principal retail thoroughfare. The property benefits from significant pedestrian footfall and excellent prominence amongst a diverse mix of national, regional and independent retailers, cafés, restaurants and professional service occupiers.
Bedford is an affluent and expanding market town situated approximately 50 miles north of Central London and benefits from excellent communication links via the A421, A6 and M1 motorway (Junction 13). Bedford Railway Station is within easy walking distance and provides regular Thameslink and East Midlands Railway services to London St Pancras International, London Bridge, Gatwick Airport and the wider national rail network.
The High Street forms part of Bedford's established commercial core, linking directly to Harpur Street, Midland Road and the Harpur Centre shopping destination. Nearby occupiers include a range of recognised retailers, banking institutions, food and beverage operators and leisure providers, generating strong levels of daytime and evening activity within the immediate vicinity.
The town continues to benefit from ongoing investment and regeneration initiatives, together with its strong catchment population and strategic location within the Oxford-Cambridge growth corridor, making Bedford an attractive destination for businesses, investors and occupiers alike.
This central location provides convenient access to public transport, town centre car parks and the River Great Ouse waterfront, which offers a range of leisure and recreational amenities within a short walking distance.
