Newly renovated small flat ideal for first-time buyers near town.
Private low-maintenance decked garden with pergola
This ground-floor two-bedroom apartment offers a newly renovated, compact home with private outside space and easy access to Leighton Buzzard town centre. The interior has been refreshed throughout, including a refitted shower room, a new integrated oven and hob in the kitchen, and built-in storage in both bedrooms. Patio doors from the main bedroom open onto a low-maintenance decked garden with a pergola — a rare private outdoor area for a flat.
Practical details suit a first-time buyer wanting a turnkey property: off-street resident parking, efficient broadband and good mobile signal, plus local schools rated Good and a wide range of nearby shops and services. Commuters benefit from quick road links to the M1, A5 and nearby towns.
There are important considerations: the flat is small at about 574 sq ft and is leasehold with 87 years remaining. Service charges average £1,200 per year and ground rent is around £10. The immediate area is classified as deprived with a very high local crime rate; buyers should factor neighbourhood safety into their decision and check lease terms and charges carefully before committing.
