This chain-free three-bedroom semi in Wigmore offers practical family accommodation and strong commuter access. The property includes an open-plan lounge/diner, fitted kitchen, ground-floor cloakroom, and a single family bathroom upstairs — layout suited to a small family or first-time buyer seeking immediate occupancy or a straightforward rental opportunity.
Outside there is off-street parking and a garage, plus a low-maintenance front garden and a modest rear garden. Built in the 1980s with cavity walls and double glazing (installed before 2002), the house is economical to run and sits in an area with good broadband and mobile signal, close to local amenities and major roads including the M1 and London Luton Airport.
Key positives are the chain-free sale, garage and parking, and the convenient Wigmore location near good primary and secondary schools. However, the property is modest in size (approximately 646 sq ft) with small rooms and a compact bathroom; it will feel tight for larger families. Some finishes appear dated and would benefit from modernisation to maximise appeal and value.
Buyers should note the locale’s very high crime statistic — important for resale and insurance considerations — and the glazing dates, which may require future replacement. Overall this is a practical, affordable three-bed with clear potential for cosmetic improvement, ideal for first-time buyers, small families or buy-to-let investors comfortable with a compact footprint.
