Set on a quiet cul-de-sac in desirable Linslade, this freehold detached house offers practical family living and good transport links. The property has four double bedrooms and an open-plan living/dining room that opens to a mature westerly garden, ideal for afternoon sun and family time. Leighton Buzzard station (direct to Euston ~30 minutes) is accessible for commuters, and the home sits within the catchment for several well-regarded local schools rated Good.
The house sits at approximately 943 sq ft and dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s, with double glazing (install date unknown), cavity-wall construction and mains gas central heating. A single-family bathroom means mornings will require coordination in larger households. The interior shows dated fittings and decor—particularly the living room fireplace and some kitchen elements—so prospective buyers should expect updating or renovation to bring the home in line with modern finishes.
Practical advantages include a garage, driveway parking and a decent plot with a mature garden that faces west. The area is very low crime, very affluent and comfortable suburbia, making it appealing for families seeking safety and local amenities. The property represents solid potential for someone looking to modernise and add value, but the smaller overall size and single bathroom are important considerations for larger families.
Council Tax Band E for 2025/26 is £2,964.69. Buyers should note broadband speeds are reported as slow and mobile signal average. Overall this detached house is a sensible family opportunity in a popular Linslade pocket, best suited to purchasers willing to refresh interiors and optimise space.
