Located in central Dunstable, this split-level maisonette offers a compact but practical home for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The bright lounge and two double bedrooms are spread over two floors, making the 522 sqft feel well arranged. Allocated off-street parking and excellent mobile and broadband connectivity add everyday convenience.
Financially, the property has strengths and clear cautions. Service charge (£120 pcm) and ground rent (£50 pcm) are modest, and council tax is very low. However, the lease has around 77 years remaining; some mortgage lenders may refuse lending or apply stricter terms. Prospective buyers should obtain mortgage advice and confirm lender acceptability before committing.
The area is within easy walking distance of shops, schools, and transport links, and recorded crime levels are very low. The building is mid-20th century with standard ceiling heights and straightforward finishes — the flat may suit buyers wanting a home to occupy immediately or investors seeking a rental with potential to improve. EPC is listed as TBC, so energy performance should be checked during due diligence.
Overall, this maisonette represents an affordable entry point into the local market with practical amenities and parking, but the limited lease length and need to confirm mortgageability are material factors to resolve early in the buying process.
